emoji-keyboard

A virtual keyboard allowing to type emoji into any application directly.

See, Linux does not have a standard way to enter emoji. In fact, until recently, most Linux applications didn't even display color emoji.

There are many tools to make entering emoji easier, but most of them consist of menu to select emoji and copy it to clipboard. Then you also have to paste it.

This two-step process seemed like much to me, so I wrote this app to allow typing emoji directly. Many people agreed with me and the app got quite popular. It is, in fact, my most popular project.

ginger

Mopidy is a server-side headless music player that allows you to hook up audio system to your server and stream music from popular services like Spotify and YouTube.

ginger is a Mopidy client allowing you to control Mopidy playback through a pretty and convenient interface. It runs everywhere a web browser runs. There's also a native Android app.

I named it ginger (all lower-case) because I come from a family of gingers.

hifinder

An app to automatically find highest resolution images. It runs from the terminal and uses Google's Reverse Image Search to do this.

Since Google does not provide an API for this service, hifinder uses private API's and web scraping to do it's job.

Joy2DroidX

Let's start with this: I'm not much of a gamer. Still I enjoy video games everyonce in a while. So when I lost my gamepad I wrote this so I could use my phone as a gamepad.

There's an Android app that should compile on iOS as well. The server runs and is tested on Windows 8+ and Linux.

klembord

A small library for working with clipboard contents in a cross-platform way. It's unique in that it provides the most complete set of features all the while being written entirely in python.

The name means "clipboard" in Dutch.

VAD

I've been playing around with voice recognition and natural language processing (NLP) and as a result found myself in need of voice activity detection (VAD) library.

So I wrote the bindings for a popular one in a language I work with (TypeScript).

liepa-tts

LIEPA project's Lithuanian speech synthesis engine bindings for python.

macpy

I've been using AutoHotKey, an easy to use scripting language for Windows automation, for years. However, when I switched to Linux, there wasn't anything like it.

Now writing a whole scripting language seemed a bit much, so I wrote a library allowing similar functionality for the programming language I already knew. That's how macpy was born.

It allows hooking system input events, as well as emulating them. This allows complete programmatic control of any graphical or textual interface.

The name is a combination of [py]thon and [mac]ro, as well as a play on magpie.

UNKNOWN/month

Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient calculator. Small and fast, written in C. I bound a couple of established C libraries and produced a WASM library that's easy to use from TypeScript/JavaScript and run anywhere.

I needed this for wakeword-zero

Mopidy-YTMusic

Mopidy is a server-side headless music player that allows you to hook up audio system to your server and stream music from popular services like Spotify and YouTube.

Mopidy-YTMusic is an extension I wrote for Mopidy to allow streaming from Google's Play Music replacement YouTube Music.

It started as a personal project, since I'm a YouTube Music subscriber, but since I released it as Open-Source, a small community gathered around it. It is now much more advanced than I ever intended to make it, but that's a good thing!

pdf.js

Mozilla's pdf.js is a library to render and parse PDF documents in javascript. It powers Firefox's built-in PDF viewer, along with many other apps and projects.

I forked it to make run natively on Android via React Native or NativeScript. The port is complete and functional, although not very performant.

python-libinput

I wanted my library, macpy, to run on all Linux systems, including those using Wayland display server.

To do that I wrote bindings for Wayland input component libinput. However libinput is a big project and maintaining semi-official bindings proved too much for me.

I hope someone steps up to take over this project.

react-native-alias

A CLI app to make working with React Native projects easier. Kind of like Linux alias command/Webpack resolve.alias field for React Native.

react-native-markdown

A library I wrote for and use extensively across this very website.

I needed a way to render Markdown documents, that's flexible and lightweight, while providing things like table support, syntax highlighting, and other advanced functions.

Savage

I use SVGs in most of my projects but working with them in InkScape is rather painful. So I wrote my own SVG editor in TypeScript and Angular.

That wasn't a such a good idea, as Angular's performance is rather poor on it's own and coupled with complex documents to render... It's slow and laggy.

I hope I can find the time to rewrite this in a more performant framework like React, or perhaps Vue.

wakeword-zero

My version of a personal wakeword system based on this article

I'm not the first to implement this system, but my version runs absolutely everywhere through the power of Web Assembly.

winnotify

A little library to show notification popups on modern Windows systems.

I was just playing around with Windows C API.

xpander

TextExpander is popular macOS app allowing to define text macros that expand to much longer blocks of predefined text. It has many features, such as dynamic variables, placeholders, and so on.

Now I never used it, since I don't have a Mac, but I found the idea to be very neat, so I wrote my own version implementing most of the functionality for Linux.

Alas, it's a niche app for niche operating system, so it's never got quite popular.
