I started OrgManager as a way to play around with Laravel, but it quickly became more than that, as organizations such as FOSSASIA started to use it during Google's CodeIn competition. I managed OrgManager as an open-source project for over a year before leaving mantainance to the community.

OrgManager

Open source invite system for GitHub Organizations.

DependenCI was inspired by Greenkeeper, a service that created pull requests when new versions of your npm dependencies were released. Thinking this would be useful for Composer dependencies as well, I decided to start my first closed-source project. I launched a free beta to ~30 users, but ended up abandoning the project to focus on UnMarkDocs.

DependenCI

Automated dependency updates for Composer.

UnMarkDocs was my first attempt at building a paid app. Inspired by Laravel's great docs, I tried to improve the documentation experience of open-source projects, by adding new features into Markdown and generating beautiful documentation pages from their GitHub repos. While it helped many open-source projects, I didn't manage to get enough paying customers to make maintenance worth it, and ended up selling it.

UnMarkDocs

Dynamic documentation hosting with custom markdown, integrated with GitHub.

I started CoderYouth to meet other teenagers interested in coding, but it ended up growing to a big community where many people found _their place on the Internet_. CoderYouth holds a special place in this list because it led to me discovering the `code()` community, and making many friends.

CoderYouth

The idea was to create a platform full of _recipes_ for common tasks (upgrading to a new version of your framework, migrating to a different library, etc.) which would then run against a repository and create a pull request. Snaptier was my first project working with others and, while we didn't end up launching, I learned a lot about marketing and what it takes to build an MVP.

Snaptier

A platform to automate repetitive development tasks.

I got invited to work on Borrow My Topic along with two others by a friend, and helped bootstrap the initial architecture, but we all slowly stopped working on it until the repository became inactive. The idea was to enable conference speakers to share their talks so that others who wanted to speak at a conference could reuse their slides.

Borrow My Topic

Open-source platform for creators and presenters to exchange conference topics

I had been waiting to work on a Patreon-like platform for a while, so when a friend contacted me to join the Maker Army team, I jumped right in. We wanted to provide a modern Patreon experience, with a great API and connections to lots of services, but the team ended up dissolving after some technical disagreements.

Maker Army

A modern platform built to provide makers with financial stability.

Blogcast started as a weekend project and ended up becoming one of my main projects for 2019. The idea was to use the best text-to-speech tech we could find to narrate articles, allowing anyone to generate an audio feed for their articles. After working on Blogcast for almost a year, I ended up selling it to focus on Sitesauce.

Blogcast

A platform to automate article narration using state of art text-to-speech-technology.

Sitesauce tries to reduce the barrier of entry to the Jamstack, by allowing anyone to turn their existing websites into static sites in seconds, not weeks. I developed Sitesauce for eight months before finally launching it in May of 2020, and the response was fantastic. As of 2021, it continues to grow and be my main source of focus.

Sitesauce

Generate a static sites from any website in one click.

Auralite was my attempt at creating a new social network, one with a focus on privacy and your attention. A platform made for users, not advertisers. I worked on Auralite throughout the summer, pausing development after September to give me more time to re-think all the principles.

Auralite

I started GumHub as a fun weekend-build for my live-coding stream and later thought about releasing it for everyone, since there weren't any easy-to-setup tools out there allowing you to sell access to your private repositories. The launch blew up on Twitter, and so far it has helped dozens of people earn some side income from their projects.

GumHub

A script for selling access to GitHub repositories with Gumroad.

After the service I used for shortening URLs had a minor outrage, I built myself an alternative hosted and powered by Vercel in two days. It doesn't track users or clicks and distributes your redirects over multiple CDNs all around the world, making it crazy-fast.

Microlink

An unlimited-everything URL shortener powered by Vercel.

After joining the Gen Z Mafia community, I proposed the creation of a hub where we could easily learn about what other members were working on and better organize ourselves. I was placed in charge of developing this platform, which is still under construction.

Gen Z Hub

A private platform for the Gen Z Mafia community.

Enlightn was a joint effort between [Paras Malhotra](https://twitter.com/parasume) and me, in an attempt to bring years of best-practices and considerations to every Laravel user out there, in the easiest way possible. Aside from pointing out issues, it also recommends how to improve or fix them.

Enlightn

A CLI that analyzes your Laravel code and recommends ways of improving its security, performance and reliability.
