Side projects, experiments, paid odd jobs

We like the messy in-between where nothing quite fits off the shelf.

Hooks between services, half-automated spreadsheets, tiny dashboards—stuff that is not glamorous but makes the day a little lighter. If that sounds like your rabbit hole, we are probably interested. No big agency pitch: just people who enjoy figuring things out and sometimes get paid for it.

Things we might help with

Not a menu with guarantees—more a sketch of what we gravitate toward. If your ask is outside this, still write; worst case we say “not us” and maybe point you somewhere.

APIs & glue

Chaining services together, poking at weird payloads, adding logging so the next person is not guessing. We learn your vendors alongside you.

Shop-ish / service-ish stuff

Ledgers, bookings, payouts—the boring parts where reality does not match the tutorial. We are not selling a turnkey “platform”; we might help sketch or build a slice.

AI, carefully

When a model actually saves time and the data story is okay with you, we can experiment. When it is hype, we will probably grumble and suggest a simpler fix first.

Weird one-offs

Migrations nobody documented, performance ghosts, bugs that only show up on Tuesdays. If it is odd, we are curious; if it is huge, we will be honest about pace.

How we tend to work (when it is not just a weekend rabbit hole)

Nothing fancy—just a rhythm that keeps surprises smaller than they could be.

  1. 1

    Chat & look around

    We ask naive questions, read what you have, and try to spot landmines early. Still learning your context beats pretending we already know it.

  2. 2

    Agree on something small

    A short written slice—what we would try first, what “good enough” looks like, and what we will not touch yet. Revise if it feels wrong.

  3. 3

    Build in the open with you

    Incremental commits, demos when it helps, room to change direction. No big-bang reveal at the end unless you really want that for some reason.

  4. 4

    Handoff or hang around

    Sometimes we document and wander off; sometimes we keep a light thread for tweaks. We will say which up front instead of implying forever support.

Work, licenses, and public bits

This page is mostly a postcard. Some repos are public, some are paid plugins, some never leave a private folder—that is all fine as long as everyone agrees what is what.

  • Open source when it feels useful to others and we can afford the upkeep story.
  • Licensed bits when someone wants updates and a shoulder to cry on across versions.
  • Closed when the details are not ours to share—no drama, just boundaries.

One thing that did leave the workshop: Bookmarks API for Scripting and AI — a Firefox add-on so local scripts and agents can manage bookmarks while the browser is open.

When there is something worth showing, it will show up here or on Gitea. Until then, imagine a lot of half-finished branches and coffee.

EasyGoing Gaming (EGG) and code

EasyGoing Gaming is the name we give our homelab-shaped world: Git, boards, CI, mail—the usual self-hosted rabbit holes. If a project wants to live near that, cool; if you would rather keep everything in your cloud, also cool. No pressure to adopt our stack.

This public site sits on www; mail and other toys use their own names behind the same kind of reverse proxy we use for everything else.
