Browser-native tools

Built from scratch.
Shipped for real.

Tools, garden systems, and interactive experiments — all zero-backend, all running in a browser tab.

Tools that actually ship.

Dave builds tools that solve real problems — garden planners, prompt engineering workflows, hiking trackers, graph visualizers — all running entirely in the browser with zero backend infrastructure. Every project is a single HTML file or a small static app deployed to GitHub Pages. No server, no database, no cost to run. If it can run in a tab, it doesn't need a cloud.
