Code

Outside of work I build self-hosted tools, personal websites, and whatever else catches my interest. Side projects are where I experiment with new technology and stay sharp since at work I stick to stable, mature frameworks. There is plenty more to see on my GitHub account.

Taproot

DockerShell

Dotfiles, containers, and the configs that make a machine mine.

Repos

RustAxum

A minimal self-hosted git browser. Renders bare repos as a website with commits, diffs, syntax-highlighted blobs, and atom feeds, plus clone over HTTPS.

{
  "sha": "487e375",
  "message": "Fix horizontal scroll from wide README tables on mobile\n\nA markdown table sized to its content with no scroll container pushed\nthe whole page wider than the viewport on phones (the finance repo's\ndata-source tables overflowed a 375px screen by ~140px).\n\n- README tables are now their own horizontal scroll container\n  (display: block + overflow-x: auto), so a wide table scrolls itself\n  instead of widening the page\n- README prose wraps long URLs/tokens (overflow-wrap: break-word) and\n  uses tighter gutters on small screens\n- Breadcrumbs and tree filenames wrap long path components\n- Diff file headers wrap a long path below the status badge instead of\n  clipping it",
