Ongoing

Rumpo Standard Library

Case Study Coming Soon

A zero-dependency utility toolbox published on JSR that keeps common string, array, list, and map helpers synced across runtimes.

  • Curates battle-tested helpers so teams stop copy/pasting the same snippets between services and frontends.
  • Modular packages (@rumpo/std, @rumpo/strings, @rumpo/arrays, @rumpo/list, @rumpo/maps) let teams pull in only what they need.
  • Designed to compile for Deno first, while staying compatible with Cloudflare Workers, Node.js, Bun, and the browser.

Dynamic Video Template Platform

Case Study Coming Soon

A rendering pipeline that lets creative studios turn motion assets into data-driven video templates and produce hundreds of variants from a single master.

  • Instruction-driven render engine with caching so repeat frames and composites are reused across batches.
  • Parser and smart asset system translate timelines, typography, and visuals into reusable building blocks.
  • Bulk render workflow spans spreadsheet uploads and OpenAPI access, with client/project governance layered on top.

A multi-tenant workspace for stable owners that centralises horse care, checklists, and membership management across admin, checker, and owner experiences.

  • Nx monorepo coordinating web-admin, checker, and owner portals with shared UI primitives.
  • Supabase Postgres powering auth, row-level security, edge functions, and rich media storage.
  • Time-based care plans and templated checklists ensure repeatable routines for every horse.

DevJohn (dj) Terminal Assistant

Case Study Coming Soon

A local-first CLI and TUI companion that scaffolds code, manages prompts, and keeps project memory so senior engineers can stay in flow.

  • Conversational prompt loop that turns intent into runnable tasks, commits, and documentation.
  • SQLite-VSS backed retrieval layer keeps project decisions, snippets, and context instantly accessible.
  • Pluggable LLM orchestration supports local Codex binaries, GPT APIs, and recovery workflows.
