I built this app to manage the location and information of many musical instruments given out to students at various locations. It's mobile-first and very feature-rich. Its functionality goes beyond what most people need, but shows how an application can be customized to an exact workflow.

There are lots of project-management and tracking applications available online, but they tend to be work-oriented and put a lot of pressure on you to get things done. I wanted something a little calmer, with fun colors and a sense of humor!

It's super fast, written in rust using actix-web and htmx to provide the responsiveness of a single-page app but without all the javascript bloat.

It also has a completely password-free authentication system using passkeys and email-based code authentication. Passkeys allow users to authenticate using the biometrics built into their device (FaceID, TouchID, Windows Hello, etc.) for the most convenient experience without sacrificing security.

I Did It for… uses the Django python framework to create an useful application for tracking the time you've spent working toward a project or goal or something you are learning. I went with a bright bold design that represents an interesting contrast to many of my other projects.

As usual, it has optional passkey authentication so you can log in instantly with the biometrics already present on your device. In addition to full CRUD functionality, it has Django's excellent administration backend for even finer control of what is present in the database.

By using htmx, I was able to create an experience that has the responsiveness of a single-page app, with the simplicity of a server-rendered application.

As I have been building my various personal projects, I got tired of continually re-implementing authentication. So I thought it would be useful to have a microservice to handle it. The external page is very simple and straightforward, but it also has a robust backend and portal for adding authentication to any web app.
