Current Projects
- DateTime An Open Source Software(OSS) plugin for the Elgato Streamdeck family of devices. Choose date, time or segments of dates and times to display on your StreamDeck buttons.
- Estimazing.com Tools to help contractors eliminate truck rolls. There's no such thing as a free estimate.
- TipsyNeighbors.com A bi-weekly podcast I record with my friends. (I handle the website.)
- BucketLift.app A pet project I'm working on to help me track my goal of skiing as many resorts, lifts and runs as I can in this lifetime. Opening in beta soon.
Full-stack Web Dev
My favorite software to work on is full-stack web development. Here's a list of the tools I use daily. They built this website, btw.
Backend and Database
- Python, my favorite programming language. Choice of data scientists and Machine Learning folks as well. I use it every day.
- Django has been my goto backend since 2009. I even attended the first ever djangocon at the Googleplex. Saw GVR in person. Good times.
Frontend
- HTML, the language of the web. These docs are also fantastic.
- JavaScript, while it sucks, it's critical for frontend development.
- Tailwind CSS, a great css processor. Rather than thinking about pages as collections of components, this is like an inline shorthand for styles. I like it a lot.
- HTMX, the dark horse of frontend interactivity. It's so simple it makes React, Next.js, Vue.js, Svelte.js, [insert nonsense JS Framework here] look ridiculous. HTMX is literally what the web was always meant to be. Use it and love your life.
