Everything tagged Python, wherever it's filed, newest first.
A small Python library that turns plain data into Word documents with a strict Vignelli-style grid, black-and-white charts and zero color, so every reference sheet I print looks like it came from the same shop.
Thread: The design notebook ↗Vapor is my open-source Python app that pulls grids, heroes, logos and icons from SteamGridDB and applies them to your Steam library, one game at a time or in bulk.
Thread: Games and gear ↗CRT 90s TV is my open-source Raspberry Pi project for turning an old tube TV into a nine-channel, remote-controlled '90s channel-surfing machine.
Thread: The retro workbench ↗A desktop app and a set of browser extensions I built for making custom profile icons and switching between browser profiles without squinting at identical avatars.
Thread: Desktop tinkering ↗My notes on safe updates were written for a big team with canary releases and approval chains. Here's the same idea cut down for one person with a project that still has to work tomorrow.
Thread: Dev habits for a team of one ↗A small Python script that stitches Markdown chapters into a single clean HTML book with a title page, linked contents, chapter breaks, curly quotes and proper scene breaks.
Thread: Tools for the writing desk ↗DataChart is my open-source, multi-tenant dashboard builder, a FastAPI backend and React front end for dragging charts onto a page and wiring them to real data sources.
Thread: App experiments ↗ICON is my open-source Python tool that scans your desktop shortcuts, finds square artwork for them on SteamGridDB, and replaces the icons, with a backup you can restore from.
Thread: Games and gear ↗A Python desktop app that converts PDF, CBR, CBZ and CB7 comics into smaller WebP-based CBZ files and can combine single issues into trade paperback volumes.
Thread: Archive conversion workshop ↗The folder layout, the one config file, and the handful of checks I want in a Python project before the first real line of code. Plus where my notes had fallen behind the tools.
Thread: Dev habits for a team of one ↗Genesis ROM Workshop is my open-source Python toolkit for poking around inside Sega Genesis ROMs, extracting palettes, text and tile graphics for ROM hacking, translation and preservation work.
Thread: The retro workbench ↗Epic Games Transfer is my open-source PowerShell and Python tool that rewrites the Epic Games Launcher's manifest files after you move your games, so the launcher finds them instead of downloading them again.
Thread: Games and gear ↗FlowDrive is my concept for a storage optimizer that learns which files you'll need and puts them on the fastest drive, written up as a spec and architecture with no code yet.
Thread: App experiments ↗Fine Use is my open-source design system for terminal-style interfaces, a React component plan with CSS themes and a Python desktop implementation, and it's honest about being mostly a specification so far.
Thread: The design notebook ↗A small Python scraper that pulls eBay auction listings for a set of search terms and turns them into an HTML report, useful for personal price research before you buy or sell.
Thread: Desktop tinkering ↗Deckport is my open-source Python tool that registers portable native Linux games as Steam Deck non-Steam shortcuts, with artwork, so they show up in Game Mode ready to play.
Thread: Games and gear ↗My open-source Python and pygame recreation of the WeatherStar 4000, built for Raspberry Pi and CRT TVs, with live weather data and 26-plus display modes.
Thread: The retro workbench ↗A prompt and a small Python toolkit that turn one long AI conversation into a numbered, source-cited project folder you can build a book from.
Thread: Prompts for plans, apps and side hustles ↗
