OPEN SOURCE · SHIPPED

Everything here was built by one person

A CMS, an email client, a file manager, a terminal crawler, a component library, and many open-source packages. All shipped by one developer, using the same foundation and AI workflow I set up for client teams. This page is the argument for Die Werkstatt, made in code rather than copy.

Why this page matters more than a case study

Any developer can describe a method. Far fewer will hand you the repositories and invite you to check.

Each of these started as a problem I hit twice and got tired of working around. Each one is public, running, and readable, including the parts I got wrong and fixed later. That's the standard of evidence I'd want before hiring someone, so it's the one I offer.

Headless CMS · Laravel + Vue

b10cks

The user-first headless CMS. Laravel and Vue, 100% open source core.

What it solves: headless CMS setup that eats a week, editor experiences developers quietly hate, and content changes with no usable history.

Key features:

  • Visual editing that doesn't dictate your markup
  • Multiplayer canvas for structuring content
  • Git-like version history on every entry
  • Built-in localisation and CDN delivery
  • No tiers, no upsells

This site runs on it. So does every client site I build.

Also Shipped

RAVN Mail

Cross-platform email client · Tauri + Nuxt

Email organised as a board rather than an infinite list, for developers and knowledge workers who treat the inbox as a queue of work. Lightweight, local-first, and quiet by default.

ravnmail.com · github.com/ravnmail/ravn

Kessel

Remote file manager · Rust + GPUI

One cockpit for every filesystem: S3, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Google Cloud, Azure Blob, Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, local. Dual-pane, drag and drop, and a transfer queue in SQLite that survives a crash and resumes mid-file.

Ships with an MCP server, so an agent can drive your storage directly.

gh0st

Terminal crawler & SEO analyser · Rust + Tokio

Concurrent crawling with a live terminal interface, SEO scoring and issue detection, and optional WebDriver for JavaScript-heavy sites. It also handles sitemap discovery, robots.txt compliance, and CSV or JSON streaming export.

github.com/coderscantina/gh0st

SabaccUI

Vue component library · TypeScript

50+ components taken straight from production client work: the modals, tables, and form primitives worth building once. Styling you can override without a fight, keyboard and screen reader support included.

For the artisans

Laravel Packages

Four packages on Packagist

Small, boring, and used in every project I ship. Nothing clever, just the parts I refuse to write again.

Laravel Boilerplate

The starting point I actually use, and the same one your Foundation phase begins from: authentication, API structure, and a deployment pipeline that works on day one.

Want this method applied to your product?

The foundation, the reference implementation, and the agent workflow behind these products are the same ones I set up for client teams, then hand over.

Coder's Cantina · Michael Wallner, Vienna.

Die Werkstatt: I build the foundation, set up the AI development workflow, and hand it to your team. Custom software for companies that would rather own it than rent it.
