Design + Product + Software

It doesn't have to be complicated

Current focus: simple solutions, simple architectures, the modern monolith, cross-browser extensions, cross-platform desktop applications and in general projects that encourage competency, ownership, and personal agency.

Over the last few years, I've been particularly interested in developer enablement and design-led 0-1 solutions for web and browser extensions. How can a user (and developer) go from idea to production in a fast but sustainable way without sacrificing design and aesthetics?

Projects

• RISKit.dev
  Rails Inertia Starter Kit — It doesn't have to be complicated; just build a monolith! Combining the HELLO WORLD to IPO ethos of Ruby on Rails with the speed and versatility of Vite, RISKit is a great starting point for the modern monolith.

  • Backend — Ruby on Rails 8 + Postgres/SQLite + Solid trifecta
  • Frontend — Inertia.js + Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind + shadcn/ui

• Bedframe.dev
  Browser Extension Development Framework— Ship prod-ready, cross-browser extensions with Vite + React. Bedframe is an open source Vite/TypeScript framework that gives you an opinionated, repeatable approach, tooling, and workflows optimized for shipping prod-ready extensions to all modern browsers. It's a "framework" as in, a way of doing things.

  • @bedframe/cli — Node.js + TypeScript
  • @bedframe/core — Node.js + TypeScript
  • create-bedframe — Node.js + TypeScript
  • Templates — Vite + React / Vue / Svelte / etc + TypeScript

• Picchat.ai
  A cross-platform desktop app that lets you generate, edit, fine-tune, curate, share and save images that inspire your creativity.
