Dev

Software written to solve real, specific problems — in my own video workflow, around the house, and for a pitch or two. Mostly small, self-hosted tools rather than polished products. A few live in private repositories, so those are shown with screenshots instead of a link.

Cabtions

A local caption editor for short-form video. You watch the clip and fix every caption while it plays — who said it, the words, the timing, the emoji, and notes for the renderer — instead of guessing speaker attribution and timing from a flat transcript file. It started life as the Caption Speaker Editor.

Each speaker gets their own timeline, with the audio waveform underneath so words line up with the spikes. Open a clip's video and its captions.json (plus an optional speakers file that carries names, keys, and colors from job to job), edit, and save straight back to the same files. Recent additions include autosort, trimming, GIF search, per-speaker fonts and avatars, and hideable timelines.

There's nothing to install beyond Python: a tiny local server (server.py) uses only the standard library, a desktop shortcut and tray launcher open it in its own app window, and everything else happens in the browser. It sits between the transcription pipeline and the caption renderer in my video workflow.

Private Project · Self-Hosted Web App

WellsDone

A private family organizer for the household — to-dos and boards, a shared calendar, repeating chores, a meal plan, a grocery list that sorts itself by aisle, and house notes — synced live across everyone's phones and computers. It began as a fork of the JourneyLive demo (below), so it keeps that app's layout, drag-and-drop, right-click menus, and quick-add shorthand.

It's designed to stay out of the way. There are no points, scores, or leaderboards — a chore is just done or not done. Parents can change anything; kids check off their own chores and add to-dos and groceries. Each device remembers who's using it, and switching to a parent profile asks for a PIN. A saved meal can push its ingredients straight onto the grocery list, and house notes can be marked parents-only, down to individual lines.

The whole front end is one HTML file, served by a small dependency-free Node server that saves state to disk with daily backups. It runs on a home PC reachable only over a private Tailscale network, and the same API can also run as a Cloudflare Worker with a D1 database behind Cloudflare Access, so nothing has to stay powered on at home.

Pitch / Demo · Single-File HTML + Cloudflare Worker

JourneyLive

A staff-operations app pitched to a church: tasks, a calendar with room booking, a time clock, and request forms that turn into tasks — designed to connect to the organization's Google Workspace. The repository holds a clickable demo, page mockups, and a full build spec for the production version; the production app itself hasn't been built yet.

The demo is a single self-contained HTML file running on sample data. Tasks work like Todoist-style projects with sections, shown as a board or a list, with priority as a color, an “On fire” status that pins emergencies, smart views (Today, Upcoming, My tasks), and quick-add shorthand like Order chairs !1 @Mark #Facilities fri. The calendar blocks double-bookings, and approving an event request builds a whole project from a template. Everything supports drag-and-drop and a site-wide right-click menu, with role-based permissions across eight roles and a dark theme checked against WCAG contrast.

The planned production stack is a TypeScript monorepo — Fastify and Zod on the backend, Prisma on PostgreSQL, and a React + Vite + Tailwind PWA — with Google sign-in limited to the organization's domain. For the pitch, the demo runs on a Cloudflare Worker with a D1 database so every viewer shares one live copy of the sample data.

Desktop App · Tauri + Rust + React

Plantain

A lightweight, resizable companion mixer for Voicemeeter (Banana and Potato) on Windows — small enough to sit beside a music player, capable enough to replace the full Voicemeeter window for everyday mixing. It's a fork of shuperj's open-source MiniMeeter, redesigned and extended here; all credit for the original concept and groundwork belongs to the original author.

The changes in this fork include a Windows acrylic-glass look that follows the system accent color, a switch between vertical faders and compact knobs with a proportional sizing system so controls never clip at any window size, and edition detection that adapts the strip and bus layout to Banana or Potato. It also adds one-click reverb and delay macros, a karaoke mode cycle, animated audio-reactive backgrounds, A1 output switching from the titlebar, global mute hotkeys, window-size presets, and autostart.

Under the hood it's a Tauri 2 app: a Rust backend loads VB-Audio's Voicemeeter Remote API at runtime and syncs about thirty times a second, so changes made on hardware show up instantly, while the interface is React 19 and TypeScript. Licensed GPL-3.0, like the upstream project.

Local Tool · Node.js + WebSocket

Overlay Control Hub

The backend for a Twitch stream overlay kit — a small local Node.js server (built-in http + ws, no framework) that runs on the streamer's own PC, serves a control panel as a plain webpage, and pushes every change live over one WebSocket to the overlays running in OBS. State persists to disk, so a restart doesn't reset the goal counter.

It has two jobs. A Twitch watcher turns first-time chatters (anonymous IRC, no auth) and subs, resubs and gift subs (EventSub) into tiered alerts, and can optionally listen for Streamlabs donations; the panel works without any Twitch token. The control side owns the live state through small modules — goal counter, on/off switches per overlay, active design, per-design colors, saved color presets, handle name and photo, notes, and a demo-chat switch that resets itself on restart.

The panel has grown into a four-column dashboard: live controls and test alerts, overlay switches, color editing and presets, a design picker with Shuffle and an Auto timer (every 1, 5 or 10 minutes, with a countdown that runs in the hub so it keeps going with the panel closed), and an example overlay that shows the real alert, goal counter, handles, facecam and chat in the current design. There are now ten swappable designs, and new ones appear just by adding a folder. A soundboard mode plays clips through the alert overlay, and the tray app supervises the hub — it logs why a crash happened, restarts it, and gives up with a notification if it keeps failing.
