MD Board App
mdboard is an app that lets you visualize your markdown to-do list on a beautiful, interactive canvas. I prefer keeping my to-do list in a markdown file for its simplicity, but I also want the ability to zoom out and see everything at a high level. The visual canvas offers a refreshing alternative perspective while preserving the benefits of markdown.
mdboard is completely self-contained in a single file and works locally with your files for privacy and convenience. I rapidly prototyped the core functionality, then moved on to designing the interface in Figma and brought it into Claude Code.

Time Tracking App (MAC)
I needed a straightforward time tracker without the complexity or recurring costs of feature-heavy subscription services. So, I built a minimalist time tracking app that provides a simple timer for client work and logs hours directly to a Google Spreadsheet. After quickly building a proof of concept, I spent a few days refining the user interactions, adding finishing touches, and integrating Google Sheets to capture logged time. The app runs as a native Mac Electron application.

UI Goodies - Daily Design Gold
II run UI Goodies, a curated collection of design resources. To complement the curated collections, I wanted a more dynamic feature to showcase design inspiration, side projects, and creative finds from across the web in a fun, inspiring way. This led to a grid-based, Tumblr-style gallery that brings fresh content to the site and encourages exploration. I built a custom Chrome plugin that collects items using a Cloudflare Worker and Airtable database. These are then displayed by a custom Framer component. This workflow is a great way to highlight and celebrate creative work in the design community.

Match Native Google Docs Styles
I often write documentation and briefs in Google Docs, but I also draft content in tools like Grammarly. When pasting text into a Google Doc, it doesn’t inherit the document’s default styles, requiring tedious manual formatting. To solve this, I built a custom app extension that automatically matches pasted text to the doc’s default styles. I installed it using the App Script feature, and it’s saved me a huge amount of time and frustration. The extension is available on GitHub.
