Tools I love.

Python web framework I start with for Python backends.

Django REST framework

Toolkit for Web APIs on Django. Serializers, viewsets, and a browsable API.

Desktop apps with the same JavaScript, HTML, and CSS I already write for the web.

Fumadocs

Docs framework on React. I reach for it when a site needs more than a blog's MDX pipeline.

The React framework this site is built on: App Router, Server Components, and the image, font, and Open Graph helpers.

MDX content pipeline for Next.js. It compiles the blog and these tool pages.

The library for building user interfaces, and the base Next.js builds on.

Native Android and iOS apps with the same React components I use on the web.

React Bits

Animated React components I copy into the project, one at a time.

Forms through `useForm`. Inputs stay in the DOM until submit.

Accessible components that get copied into the project and edited in place, built on Radix primitives and Tailwind.

A workshop next to the app. Each component state is a story I can open without the rest of the product.

Utility-first CSS, used here next to a hand-written stylesheet for the editorial layouts.

The relational database I put behind Django and anything that needs SQL.

In-memory data store I use as a cache and as the broker for Celery.

AI SDK

TypeScript toolkit for text, structured output, tool calls, and agents across model providers.

Anthropic's agentic coding tool for the terminal, IDE, and web.

Cursor

An AI-first code editor built on the VS Code base.

T3 Code

Open-source control plane for coding agents. One app over the CLIs I already pay for.

Visual tests and review for Storybook. A pull request shows the pixel diff.

Anthropic's agentic coding tool for the terminal, IDE, and web.

Cursor

An AI-first code editor built on the VS Code base.

Where this site's git repo lives. Issues, pull requests, and the remote I push to.

nuqs

Type-safe search params as React state. This catalog's category filter lives in the URL.

Fast, disk-efficient package manager. Strict by default about what a package can import.

A workshop next to the app. Each component state is a story I can open without the rest of the product.

T3 Code

Open-source control plane for coding agents. One app over the CLIs I already pay for.

Task runner for monorepos. It caches package.json scripts and schedules them across cores.

Typed JavaScript, with strict mode on in this repository.

TypeScript-first schemas. I parse untrusted input before I treat it as a typed value.

Python task queue. The request returns, a worker does the slow job.

Containers I use to run the same app on my laptop and on a VPS.

Where I deploy this Next.js site. Git push, preview URL, then production.
