Overview: A diagramming desktop application, based on directory workspaces (like VS Code), intended to be used to plan, sketch and share software architecture diagrams. Born as a result of frustrating experiences with other similar solutions, Verstand builds and expands upon what came before it.

Features: Utilising your local file system, you can more easily juggle multiple diagrams in a tab structure. It supports custom icon libraries, better image support, snap-grid placements and section exporting.

Future Plans: There are plans to add a website version which would utilise your cloud storage provider to enable a similar experience to desktop with the added benefit of portability. This would also open the door to collaboration similar to Excalidraw. There are also plans to create an npm package to allow you to easily insert your diagrams into websites in an interactable format.

Overview: As a software engineer, I've benefitted from my fair share of FOSS software - down to the operating system I use daily. This project is an attempt to give back to the community and help the next (or current) generation through a free educational website to help teach users about internet infrastructure, the hardware behind computers and how to self-host their own software applications.

Topics: The project includes sections on infrastructure, hardware and software. Infrastructure is all about the anatomy of the modern web - how it functions, what sits between you and a hosted application, how the public cloud works and how to host on it. Hardware delves into the internals of computers, how everything works and how to spec and build your own machine (or home lab server). Software builds on from the previous sections to guide you through hosting your own application and exposing it to the big bad web safely.

Overview: A web app designed as my ideal fitness management platform. It's focused around custom templates that define the types of exercises and progression patterns you need to be doing, which means it can easily adapt and change exercises on the fly in you're bored with the current program or the machine is taken, without compromising your progress. I'm also using it to teach myself Angular and NoSQL.

Features: Drag and drop interface for planning training weeks, shareable templates, dynamic exercise changes, training weeks that adjust to missed workouts, long term progression tracking, and much more. Basically any feature I think might be useful for my own training.
