AlphaCode

Helps children learn to read: each letter with its name, its sound and spoken example words. Born as a psychology master's project.

Bash / NixOS

update

A terminal front-end for the boring half of running NixOS: flake inputs, rebuilds, what actually changed, and cleaning up after yourself.

Tauri / Rust / SvelteKit

Facturine

Desktop invoicing for home-care work: clients, hours, invoices and tax certificates. One local SQLite file, no network.
