// things I build
Software I write in my own time: web projects I develop. Each project has its own page with the full story and the links that go with it.
Diktatur (Diktat + Tastatur) is an iPhone app and keyboard for dictating Luxembourgish inside any app. Speech recognition can run directly on the iPhone or through a web service. It is meant to help everyone write Luxembourgish more easily, through an accessible way of entering text.
A self-hosted comment system for plain PHP websites. HashOver 2 is a PHP 8.4+ script that follows today's security practices. Threaded replies, likes, e-mail notifications, RSS feeds, multilingual and optional spam protection. It works without JavaScript, keeps visitors' data on your own server, and is AGPL free software.
A live, read-only dashboard for an Apple Photos library: what its background pipeline is doing right now, what it has already finished, and whether it can run at all. Photos indexes for search, detects faces, classifies scenes and uploads to iCloud without telling you any of it — this reads straight from the library's database and the unified log to show the job queue, analysis progress, search index coverage and the scheduler's own verdict on why nothing is happening. Where a number can't be established, it says so instead of inventing one.
A small extension for anyone who relies on pinned tabs. It keeps the content of a pinned tab where it belongs: links to other sites and newly typed addresses open in a separate tab instead of replacing what you pinned. It runs in the background, has nothing to configure, and collects no data.
moien.net gives you a mini homepage at an address you choose: moien.net/YourName. A photo, a short biography, and the links that matter to you: social profiles, playlists, photo albums. Visitors need no account to read it, and it is free. Moien means hello or good morning in Luxembourgish.
www.accessible.lu provides accessible information and resources in French and German on digital accessibility, accessible places and infrastructure, inclusive products and services, and accessible communication. It helps people understand accessibility and stay informed about developments and practical resources in Luxembourg.
A speech-to-text interface built for dictation, using the University of Luxembourg's LuxASR — whose own site is focused on audio transcription and offers only basic dictation. Pause and resume anywhere in the text, transcriptions insert at your cursor, and a period of silence can trigger the next transcription automatically. Fully keyboard operable.
hasilux.lu is an online platform and database about autism and inclusive education in Luxembourg. Joanne Theisen had the idea; we created it together, funded by the Oeuvre Nationale through our non-profit Crunch Box a.s.b.l., with a team of volunteers, professionals and autistic people. I designed and developed the portal.
