Blockchain is complicated, and learning everything there is to know just to start using it can be overwhelming. That's why I build HelloBase, a simple hello world for developers who are interesting in building on blockchain for the first time. It features basic knowledge as well as deploying and interacting with smart contracts on Base using Coinbase Smart Wallets.

A simple TUI used for sending casts on Farcaster written in Go. I wanted a project to try out the Bubbletea TUI framework from Charm.sh and this fit the bill perfectly. It's authorized using your own custody signers (can be created through castkeys.xyz) and allows the user to set their own Farcaster hub.
#farcaster
A tool and example for Farcaster developers that need to create signers for their account. Signers are ED25519 keypair that are signed by the primary wallet of a user, and they operate like API keys that can be revoked down the road. They are crucial to the Farcaster ecosystem as they allow users to 'sign-in' to other Farcaster apps and interact with the protocol. This small web app makes it easy to generate a signer for your account, but the code is also FOSS as an educational tool for new Farcaster devs.
A small server written in Go that you can run on your Raspberry Pi to display vitals in real time. For my particular Pi it displays IPFS repo stats and system stats, with more updates on the way

I was tired of poor code sharing experiences like Pastebin that were littered with ads, and I really loved the experience of Ray.so for images. This led to the creation of Snippets.so, an open sourced and extensible code sharing solution that’s minimal and clean.

The original Pinata SDK was written for Node.js years ago, and as the developer ecosystem evolved a more flexible SDK was necessary. This project was a full typescript rewrite from scratch that includes a whole new developer experience that intuitive, with far more methods and capabilities than before.
In a world where it becomes harder to distinguish between AI and human generated content, authenticity will become paramount. This app is an experiment in that direction. It allows users to upload and sign content using cryptographic keys already present in crypto wallets. With Privy as the auth layer, anyone can make an account, upload and sign content, then share it with another party. The recipient can use the public address of the sender to verify that the content is actually made by them.

The fastest way to send a cast on Farcaster. A Raycast extension that allows you to sign into your Farcaster account and send casts with optional images via IPFS.

IPFS can unlock content for decentralized social media, and Photocaster was built to demonstrate just that. Using the Farcaster protocol the app allows users to scroll through a feed of just images from select photo centered channels, sign in with their account, and upload photos via IPFS. What makes it special is the photo’s full resolution is on IPFS, but a resized copy is put on the Farcaster network. This keeps apps light, but allows anyone on Photocaster to see the full resolution image.
This was a hackathon project that I worked on with two coworkers during EthOnline 2023. The goal was to build a blockchain game that used AI NPCs with ERC-6551. I handled all the smart contract work and bits and pieces of the web app. Overall we had a pretty unique experience and glimpse into the future of gaming, and it was chosen as a finalist project.
#ai
A Go rewrite of the Node.js CLI for Pinata, allows fast and extensive uploads to Pinata. Also includes helpful features for listing files and other API functionalities.
A minimal channel specific lite client for Farcaster. Change a few lines in the config file and have a fully functional client with the ability to view the channel feed and cast to it.
