A PowerShell script that installs Linux alongside Windows without a USB stick, stated in one honest sentence. Instantly usable by anyone dual-booting; the risk is that a partitioning mistake is expensive, so back up first.

An open sEMG wristband in the spirit of Meta's Neural Band: 8-channel ADS1298, nRF52 BLE, dry electrodes, with KiCad, FreeCAD and Zephyr published. A rare full-stack reference for EMG hardware hackers; you still fabricate and solder it yourself.
Open, minimal sEMG wristband like the Meta Neural Band: 8-ch ADS1298 + nRF52832 BLE, dry gold electrodes on a flex, 3D-printed band. KiCad, FreeCAD, Zephyr, Python, simulations.

Computes one-way latency, tail statistics and microbursts from two packet captures; narrow, honest and immediately runnable for network troubleshooters, though offline-only and without visuals.

Predicts Landsat 8/9 and Sentinel-2 overpasses for any ROI using SGP4 orbits and swath coverage, cross-checked against ESA acquisition plans. Concrete and honestly documented for remote-sensing teams; limited to a few optical satellites and a notebook workflow.
Swath-aware Landsat 8/9 and Sentinel-2 overpass prediction for any ROI: SGP4 orbits from CelesTrak TLEs, % ROI coverage, ESA acquisition-plan cross-check, DST-aware UTC/local-time CSV reports and an n…

Procedurally draws Delft-blue floral page margins in LuaLaTeX. Extremely narrow but tidy, and its fast star growth shows demand for small typographic craft; only useful if you already write in LaTeX.

A native macOS terminal that runs several Claude Code sessions side by side with projects, live agent status, resumable conversations and file previews. Aimed squarely at heavy agent users; tmux and Electron shells are the alternatives, this bets on native feel.
Native macOS terminal for running multiple Claude Code sessions side by side. AI coding agent manager with projects, live agent status, resumable conversations and file previews. Built with SwiftUI.

Paste a screenshot and it detects phone numbers, ID numbers, card numbers, tokens and addresses, then blurs them, entirely in the browser and offline. Genuinely useful for tickets and docs; accuracy is unproven and it faces many existing redaction tools.
Paste a screenshot and it finds phone numbers, ID cards, bank cards, tokens and addresses, then redacts them in one click. Images stay in the browser the whole time — no upload, no network, works offl…

A root-free Xiaomi TV cleanup skill: ad removal, bloatware pruning, launcher swap, plus firmware reverse-engineering notes. Concrete and honest about reversibility, though it only covers MIUI TV and model quirks are on you.
tv-fresh TV refresh: an Agent Skill for Xiaomi TV (MIUI TV) to remove ads / clean preinstalled apps / change launcher / install proxy and media repos — root-free and reversible, with firmware reverse-…

A terminal speed test in Go with latency, up, down and bufferbloat in a cockpit-style TUI. Terminal speed tests exist, but quantifying bufferbloat is rare, and it works the moment you install it.
A speed test for the terminal with a cockpit dashboard: latency, download, upload, and bufferbloat.
