  1. Rebuilding this site as a notebookThe portfolio used to be a shelf of app cards. Now it's a place to write about the things I ship, and why that change matters more than the new paint.
  2. xBot: two weeks, 144 commits, and agents that finally get a computerA native Mac app wrapped around a self-hosted agent platform. What got built since September 2nd, and the bugs that only showed up once real agents ran.
  3. SeaStar: a sea companion for iPhone and Apple WatchSnorkel, freedive and scuba each ask a different question underwater, so each gets a different instrument on the Watch. Plus Liquid Glass that sits in the water.
  4. Claude Notch: steering Claude Code from the notchThe notch glows while Claude works, turns red when it needs you, and turns every in-session question into a button, so you never switch to a terminal just to say yes.
  5. skillFight: which of your Claude skills wins?Install enough Claude skills and some start fighting over the same requests. skillFight finds the overlaps and stages the verdict as an ASCII fighting game.
  6. Cluck Invaders: a space shooter in one HTML fileHoming missiles, spread shots, boss waves and a fireblast special, built with nothing but the Canvas 2D API. You can play it right on this site.
  7. Wolfence: a fence between your laptop and the remoteA Rust CLI that wraps git push with a security gate, plus a native macOS monitor and a browser console. Secrets, vulnerable patterns and risky config get stopped before they leave.
  8. Dragon: a file shelf that lives in the notchA free macOS utility that turns the notch (or the menu bar) into a staging area for files, with compress, convert, share, AirDrop, tag and cloud-sync actions a click away.
  9. IceSniff: one engine, three front doorsA packet analyzer where a shared Rust core powers a native macOS app, a full-screen terminal UI and a local web app, with an AI panel that knows which packet you're looking at.
  10. Hnefatafl: from first commit to installers overnightViking chess rebuilt in Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform, with shared rules, shared UI, and a tag-driven pipeline that ships DMG, EXE, DEB and APK builds.
  11. WorkLog: attendance that survives a bad signalA React Native and Expo app for small businesses, with GPS-validated clock-ins, per-worker attendance policies, and punches that queue offline until the network comes back.
