§ — SIDE PROJECTS

Projects.

Side projects. I build these to try something out, or because I wanted the thing to exist and it didn't. A few are finished and online. The rest are getting there.

  1. 01

    Stock Simulator

    WEB

    Test what an investment would actually have done, against US market history reaching back to 1900. Buy and hold or dollar-cost average. Or replay the market one bar at a time and trade it yourself. Orders fill at the next bar's open, so you can never trade on a price you have already seen. It accounts for dividends and inflation, and every number says where it came from.

  2. 02

    Tertius

    APP

    Batch transcription for audio and video, built on faster-whisper, with a small web UI and a queue you can stop and resume. It runs entirely on your own machine, with no cloud services and no telemetry. The only network access it ever makes is the one-time model download, and you can do that up front and then run it air-gapped.

  3. 03

    Electron Scanner

    APP

    A desktop app that scans from virtually any printer or scanner, then crops, rotates, flips, recolors and marks up the result before exporting to JPG, PNG, TIFF or PDF. One obvious button to scan, one obvious button to save. It has light and dark themes and follows your OS setting by default.

    Exsolutus: Investment Calculator

    APP

    It projects what an investment grows into over time, with contribution schedules that change year to year. It will also run a historical comparison: what the same money would have done in a given ticker instead.

    COMING SOON
  5. 05

    Meal Planner

    APP

    Put meals on a calendar and scale a recipe to however many people you are feeding. Type in what you expect to pay per ingredient and the grocery cost adds up as you go. Everything stays in the browser. There is no account to make and no backend to run.

    COMING SOON

Client work is a different page. If you want a site or an app built, tell me what you're building.
