Open Source Projects

I've published a few open source projects recently, including Paddock for hosting your Claude Code agents, herdctl for autonomous AI agent fleets, react-auto-intl, NarratorAI, ReadNext and InformAI. The RSC Examples project is also open source, and is a collection of examples that show how to use React Server Components, especially in Next JS. See the live RSC Examples site here.

Paddock

Paddock

Paddock is browser tabs for Claude Code. Before tabs, every page needed its own window; Claude Code is at that stage now — one session per terminal, on one machine. Paddock is the tab bar: an open-source, self-hosted home for all your Claude Code chats, persistent and resumable from any browser, and sorted into projects once there are too many to keep track of. Chats can run on their own via schedules and event triggers, background work outlives the turn that started it, and an external Management API lets your other tools drive the whole instance over MCP. Built on herdctl.

herdctl

herdctl

herdctl is an open-source orchestration layer for Claude Code that enables autonomous AI agent fleets. Define agents in YAML, trigger them on schedules or chat messages, and let them work through GitHub Issues, Jira, or Linear autonomously. "Kubernetes for AI agents."

Open Source Apps

In January 2025 I released bragdoc.ai, and shortly after launched frameit.dev. Both are hosted AI/SaaS applications but they're also open source if you want to run them yourself or see how they work. Check out bragdoc and frameit on GitHub.

bragdoc.ai

bragdoc.ai

bragdoc.ai is a SaaS application that uses a blend of AI and traditional SaaS technologies to help professionals keep track of all the great work they've done, and automatically generate high quality, evidence-based weekly summaries for your boss or performance review documentation to support your next promotion. It's also completely open source. I blog about it often.

Recent Articles about these Projects

Recently, I've been focused on integrating AI into React applications, sharing new tools and techniques that make development smoother. For instance, I've launched NarratorAI: Trainable AI assistant for Node and React, a project designed to enhance user interaction in applications. My exploration of content recommendations continues with ReadNext: AI Content Recommendations for Node JS and AI Content Recommendations with TypeScript, where I discuss leveraging AI to improve user experiences.

Additionally, I've been diving into practical uses of React Server Components, with articles like Error handling and retry with React Server Components and Promises across the void: Streaming data with RSC. Each of these posts reflects my ongoing commitment to utilizing open-source technologies for better development practices.

Claude Code, meet Paddock

Paddock is a thin wrapper around Claude Code that runs it on a server and gives it a web UI — persistent, resumable chats you can reach from any laptop or phone, with forking, sub-agents, file sending and schedules on top. Here's why I built it and how it works.
