I build open-source tools for makers and developers, drawing on 40+ years of software development. My projects include desktop utilities, electronics workflows, WordPress blocks, and programming-language experiments.
| If you want to… | Try | First step |
|---|---|---|
| Print a large plan or drawing across ordinary pages | OpenTiler | Follow the installation and scaling walkthrough in its README. |
| Make labels and 3D tags for wire-wrap DIP sockets | Wire-Wrap Tag Designer | Use the setup script for your platform, then generate a matching label and STL. |
| Have Linux read documents aloud | OmniReader | Install the desktop app and choose an online or local voice. |
| Put Mermaid diagrams in WordPress posts | Mermaid WordPress Block | Follow the plugin installation instructions. |
| Manage specifications for software and hardware | specforge | See its README and project status before choosing a workflow. |
| Explore a new programming language | Aster | Read the language overview and current implementation status. |
The most helpful feedback describes a concrete use case: what you tried, your operating system and application versions, what happened, and what you expected. Open an issue in the relevant repository. If you would like to contribute code or documentation, check that repository's contribution guide and existing issues first.
More projects are in the repository list. I also write about programming and hardware development at CodeRancher.
