I build my own tools. I'd rather spend a weekend building the thing than an afternoon hunting for one that almost fits — usually with a coding agent riding shotgun on the frontend so I can focus on the data underneath. SRE by day, this by night.

Each of these ships with a Claude Code skill, and each has a hard line the AI isn't allowed to cross — a human writes the Wikipedia article, the inbox stays read-only, nothing gets deleted.
A patient Wayback Machine archiver for macOS. It treats a busy Internet Archive as weather rather than failure, and retries until your pages are actually preserved. You can tell it "archive my Chiikawa stuff" and walk away. pipx install internet-historian
Finds people from underrepresented groups who are missing from English Wikipedia, then fact-checks every claim into a research dossier. The AI does the detective work; a human writes every sentence of the article. No API keys needed.
A local-first, read-only engine that turns your order emails into structured purchase data your agents can use: sort purchases by project, track spending in categories that match how you actually think, stop re-buying things you already own. Installs as a Claude Code plugin with a zero-setup demo.
Small tools for my actual daily life: the tabs, the music library, the manga backlog.
Tab triage for Safari, inspired by Zara Zhang's tab-out for Chrome. Turns 40 open tabs into something you can close: group tabs by topic, close windows without losing what you meant to do. The hard rule: the machine never closes anything. You do. Try the live demo.
🎧 earditor
For the songs that forgot their names. Ever download a song called Track 01 by unknown artist? Earditor fills in the missing info, checking three sources so you make the final verdict. It ran on my machine alone since 2021 as a Jupyter notebook; now it's a notarized Mac app anyone can use. Try it live.
Never miss a release again. Every licensed English manga, manhwa, manhua & webtoon drop in one calendar that updates itself, plus the part other sites skip: a full archive of past releases. GitHub Actions scrapes 15+ publishers daily and redeploys while I sleep. Open CSV/JSON data layer, free to build on. Bookmark it.
A school-agnostic engine for an agent-maintained catalog of free student and alum perks — searchable list, campus map, weekly link checker. Astro + Supabase, deploys to Vercel. Fork it for your school.
The Dartmouth reference build. Most of what's in it, students never find out their school already pays for.
I adopt cute Windows-only desktop apps and give them a second life on macOS. The original developers did the hard, lovely work — I do the porting, the Mac-specific bug hunts, and send fixes back upstream where I can.
Port of gitChara-dot's Yaha-Pet (MIT). Usagi, Hachiware & Chiikawa roam your desktop, squeak when grabbed, and live in your Dock. Fixed a crash and an animation bug along the way — offered upstream.
Port of CookieElmo's Desktop Chiikawa, the wellness-reminder pet from itch.io — rebuilt on the native Godot runtime with wandering, petting, snacks, and kaomoji speech added. It tells you to drink water. It remembers where you left it.

Code is a medium of self-expression. I just express mine in gremlin.
