Things I’ve been building, mostly on nights and weekends. A few are public. Several run on a server in my house and aren’t reachable from the open internet — those are listed without a link.
Declaration of Innovation — An open, remixable community charter for groups that gather to make, and make things better. (source)
Weird Al Stylebook — A static editorial-style site built from a mockup, with a client-side grammar checker on the second page. (source)
Ask The Aux — A shared-device party game. The group answers one prompt with songs and ends up with a playlist and a round recap.
Public Art Map — A mobile photo feed and map of public art, seeded from Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap. Atlanta only so far.
gautsch.org — This site. A weekly essay, each one with its own design.
Google Reader 2026 — The RSS reader I missed. Add a feed, press j and k to move through it, m to toggle read. Categories, a phone reading view, and one-key clipping into Obsidian.
WhisperSync — An audiobook player that transcribes with Whisper and keeps the transcript scrolling in sync with the audio. Search across segments, bookmarks, speed control.
Avian Visitors Companion — Records the backyard, runs the clips through BirdNET, and keeps a dashboard of what’s been singing. Thirty-seven species so far.
Comic Generator — Turns a text file into a three-panel comic strip. A cartoon universe is a JSON pack plus a folder of reference art, not code.
Murphy Makes Math — Printable first-grade math worksheets built on the things my son already likes: comics, stories, and drawing.
Tour de Sacs — A walking and biking game that turns the cul-de-sacs in my neighborhood into collectibles. Blocked mostly by Atlanta summer heat.
LEGO Library — A photo catalog of finished builds, one slideshow per set.
Library of Everything — A Jellyfin media library that generates a note for every show and album it takes in.
Home Lab — The Docker and Caddy stack most of the unlinked projects above actually run on.
Machine Sync — Syncthing keeping project folders in step across machines. Peer to peer, no cloud, no admin rights required.
