CodeMerger: https://codemerger.nl I've never liked the lack of control I feel using agents or tools like Cursor or Antigravity. I found myself having much better results simply pasting full source code in free chat, so I built a tool around that philosophy and I've been exclusively developing with it for a year now. It includes a Project Starter and code architecture analysis tool.

Presentable: a photo library sorter with Ai powered organization assistance, a compare canvas with various viewing modes and customizable folder sorting shortcut templates (wip).

AlwaysWhisper: a tool that let's me attach STT to my entire OS, with custom wrappers for different programs, adding theoretical voice control to any software (wip).

ScreenLoader: an Electron based tool that can load any web source as a kiosk app, full of useful features like keep-alive, covering multiple screens and tracking output logs.

Inputboard: a unified all-inputs hardware board, that transfers input data to any prototype I want to work on using an optocoupler, so I won't have to fiddle around with setting up clean and reliable inputs from cheap Chinese components every time I just want to test something.

Squire: an agentic board game helper, that can ingest a manual and will hopefully help decrease the time spent on endless discussions about seemingly conflicting rules. It should also be able to help me play a game when I don't fully understand the rules myself yet (wip).

NodeRunner: an agent that plays the WikiGame, focusing on speed, efficiency and token usage (the result of a fun competition with a colleague).

Sonic Bloom: more of an experiment than a tool. It's a wireless piece of custom hardware, that listens to conversations, sends data to an LLM through fast STT and returns a color choice that matches the topic being discussed to the hardware, which then controls an LED ring. It also has a small display that explains the logic behind the color choice.

Image-to-story: a VLM tool that kickstarts a written story using an image and has some rudimentary tools to expand on it based on user instructions (wip).

At-work-or-not: and Android app/website where colleagues can check if I'm working from home, if I'll be at the office or if I'm not working at all. Also doubles as a private record for tracking transport expenses.

SharedMaps: a Maps based website where groups of people can share custom categories of geo locations and drop comments on them.

VMG: an image format that includes audio with images and offers TTS input to easily add narration.

Who wants Coffee: a small Android app to help me remember who wants to drink what when I go for a round at the office.

And a pile of Python scripts for smaller useful tasks.
