Projects

Bowstring

A full-stack web infrastructure package for brands, artists, and music curators. This site is made using Bowstring.

Bowstring is in development and nearing early access by invitation.

FirebaseWebAuthn

FirebaseWebAuthn has been used in over 100 apps via NPM and the official Extensions Hub.

A free and open-source Firebase Extension and TypeScript SDK for authentication with WebAuthn passkeys, a new web standard for passwordless authentication. Allows websites built on Google’s app development and cloud platform to use biometric authentication in place of passwords while changing only one line of app code.

ShortcutsAPI

repository

A free and open-source API and library of iOS shortcuts used to create highly detailed home automations.

Automations in Apple’s HomeKit system run on tvOS devices such as Apple TV and HomePod. This makes it impossible to reference the user's Focus mode and therefore to do things such as disable motion-activated lights when in Sleep focus.

This project addresses that limitation and allows for much more.
