Personal tools, utilities, and things in the works.
A candid collection of utilities, workflow hacks, and prototypes I built to scratch my own everyday itches. Most of what you see here are work-in-progress experiments being fleshed out in the open — except Carousel Lab, which is my active, battle-tested daily driver for social publishing.
Carousel Lab
The tool I actually use to design and export every multi-slide carousel I post on my personal Instagram (@devvmichaell).
Built for raw speed: pick an aesthetic mood, draft your slides, and export retina PNG decks directly from your browser in seconds.
Stop designing for perfection. Ship the prototype and let real usage show you where to polish.
Experimental prototypes & utilities.
These are personal experiments and early-stage prototypes I have built to test APIs, reader interfaces, and workflows. They are rough around the edges, openly evolving, and free to explore.
