  2. Wealthfolio: offline open-source portfolio tracker

    Wealthfolio is an open-source, offline-first desktop portfolio tracker that stores all financial data locally. No subscriptions, no cloud sync, no account required — just a standalone app for tracking investments privately.

    TRMNL is a display software project for single-board computers (Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi) supporting both HDMI/LCD and e-paper displays. v0.1.0 introduced a build script for choosing display mode and runs in the background so the device stays useful for other tasks.

  4. Writing in Obsidian and Publishing Instantly

    A workflow for writing in Obsidian and publishing to a blog instantly — using iCloud sync for cross-device drafting (phone to laptop), the Minimal theme for distraction-free writing, and a pipeline that converts vault notes to published posts. The local-first model is the key advantage.

  5. Browsertech Index

    The Browsertech Index is a curated directory of companies and projects building browser-native collaboration technology — real-time sync, local-first software, CRDTs, and multiplayer features. A map of the technical ecosystem underlying tools like Figma, Linear, and Notion.
