ProjectTime Tracker Desktop App

Time Tracker Desktop App

Unhappy with the quality of various time trackers and finding a constant situation of each different app having some factors I love, and others I hate. I'm setting out to make one that works for exactly what I need it for: Tracking time across different clients and tasks that allows easy export for invoicing.

Of course, why do any side project without using the most bleeding edge technologies? So this is made with Tauri + Solidjs with TypeScript and Rust.

Tauri uses the devices native webview (as opposed to bundling a browser) allowing for smaller application size, rendering a frontend in the webview and connecting it to a runtime powered by Rust to handle interfacing with the OS and file systems.

Here I use Solidjs to power the front end, for it's many benefits and performance characteristics, and because it's the hot thing (at the time of writing).

ProjectCustom Spotify Webapp

Custom Spotify Webapp

This is my attempt at recreating Spotify but with some (imho improved) UI/UX as well as extend it with additional features.

This project is built on top of a custom scaffold I put together I call a PETT App.

At the core is Preact (a lightweight React alternative) coupled with some custom utilities and the Spotify API and Web Playback SDKs to enable a powerful native-like experience.

This is complemented by esbuild for 🔥 BLAZINGLY FAST 🔥 build times. So fast there isn't a need for a special dev server.

Note: This project is still a work in progress and is not accessible by users that have not been manually approved. This is a restriction imposed by Spotify. For access, just message me!
