An infinite-zoom drawing and reference canvas, native and GPU-accelerated. Rust on wgpu + egui, f64 world space so strokes stay sharp at any zoom, one-handed rocker controls, and a physics-tinged layout for pinning reference. Codename: Puree.
A terminal replacement for Loopback: virtual audio devices and routing on macOS, from a ratatui TUI. A background daemon drives a forked BlackHole HAL driver and CoreAudio process taps; route any app, mic, or interface to any output. Codename for the era's audio plumbing, done in the terminal.
A terminal control panel for the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20, a from-scratch replacement for Focusrite Control. Speaks the device's proprietary USB protocol directly (preamp switches, the mixer matrix, routing, live metering, presets) from a themeable ratatui TUI, while Core Audio keeps streaming. Clean-room, no driver.
Play a chord. Tangent names it. All 88 keys light as you play them while a weighted-scoring engine reads the voicing, from plain triads through altered dominants, rootless jazz voicings and slash chords. Play a run instead of a stack and it names the mode. Correct a reading once and it adapts, shifting similar voicings in every key.
Since 3.0 it shows the same notes three more ways. On a guitar neck, where a player would actually put their fingers: one MIDI note can be six places on a guitar, so Tangent picks the shape a hand would use, weighing span, open strings and barres, and holds it steady as you add notes instead of jumping around the neck. As geometry, on the circle of fifths, on a Tonnetz, and as the I, IV and V triangles. And inside your DAW, as a VST3 plugin with the same display, reading the notes on the track it is on.
A ground-up Rust rewrite of an earlier Python tool, differential tested against a 13,133-voicing corpus so every change to the engine had to prove what it altered. Free on macOS, Windows and Linux, with an installer for each. It makes no network connections at all: no telemetry, no update check, no account.
An interactive graph viewer for org-roam, running as a
native window on macOS, Linux and Windows. Written in
Rust on top of egui + glow. Reads org-roam.db
directly, opens nodes via emacsclient. Vsync-aligned on
Apple Silicon at 60 / 120 / 240 Hz, X11 and Wayland on
Linux.
Transparent Vesktop for macOS: frosted glass over the default Discord look, driven by a single opacity knob.
True stereo Discord voice on macOS and Linux: a Vencord userplugin (StereoMic) that munges the Opus SDP on both ends and captures two channels, so a stereo source arrives in stereo.
A terminal typing trainer. A ratatui TUI with generated lessons, live words-per-minute and accuracy tracking, and progress that persists between sittings.
An archive app for the late-aughts American Girl era. Preservation work, not commerce. v1.0 went out the door in late May. Tip-jar only, all rights with their owners. Codename: Coconut.
It's just my dotfiles...
The prior alias, still alive. Original tracks on SoundCloud and Spotify, plus a small library of hand-transcribed chord sheets for Lamp, Mid-Air Thief, etc.
