Matthew Stevens / Dubuque, Iowa
Desktop apps. Connected reading experiences. Games, websites, and things I couldn't help making.
Developer and designer. Web Operations Specialist at McGraw Hill. Always working on something.
The tools I build, the worlds I make, and a few things that keep me curious.
A local workspace for agent conversations, notes, and the next thing you’re building.
A connected reading experience, from an Android phone to a pocket-sized e-ink reader.
A heist game, imagined spaces, and photographs from places I’ve found along the way.
Different platforms. Real problems to solve.
Agent workspace
A Windows desktop workspace for your agent history, notes, and interactive sessions. Browse Claude, Codex, and Antigravity conversations, search past work, and keep useful context close.
Built with Tauri 2, React, TypeScript, and Rust. Reads history locally, brings documents and vault notes together, and runs interactive agents through a bundled local server. Optional integrations connect to your own tools and providers.
Desktop software
A desktop toolkit for the repetitive parts of creative work: image conversion, target-size video compression, file renaming, PDF rendering, and SVG image mapping.
A React interface backed by Rust and Tauri, with FFmpeg for video and pdf.js for documents. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Android + e-ink
A reading system that follows you from your Android phone to an Xteink X4 e-reader. An EPUB app and companion firmware share reading progress through KOReader sync.
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android, with ESP32-C3 firmware built on CrossPoint Reader. Connecting document identity, reading position, and a visual language across two very different screens.
Server tooling
A desktop control panel for a PalWorld dedicated server. Manage the server process and players, edit configuration, and monitor CPU and memory from one interface.
Built with Python and Tkinter, process monitoring through psutil, and player administration through RCON. Includes setup assistance and server-update controls.
Games, smaller tools, and ideas worth exploring.
Browser extension
A Chrome extension for Adobe Experience Manager authors. Inspect spacing, label headings and links, check image sizes, and use configurable shortcuts to published pages.
JavaScript / Chrome Extension / Adobe AEM
Web operations
Compare website images between live and test environments, spot differences and new assets, and copy results for review.

I like the part where an idea becomes something you can actually use. Also: good games, interesting places, and websites with a little personality.
