The stack
I wanted a running plan, so I built Pheidi. Pheidi needed people to hear about it, so I built Merge & Tell. Then the robots running my repos drifted apart, so I built NightForge. Then every page wanted fresh screenshots, so I built Screenery. Now they all run each other. (It's turtles. Very productive turtles.)

Each arrow is something one project really does for another, today, in the code. No aspirational arrows. The dashed ones are labeled as next.
In order, with dates from the git history. Each chapter starts with the problem the chapter before it caused.
Pheidi started in 2019 as an Angular toy, then sat untouched for five years. In March 2026 I restarted it with a spec and a team of agents. It's past 700 commits since then. Plans that bend when you get hurt or go on vacation, which is exactly what I needed.
Pheidi was shipping every day and telling zero people. I'd merge a two-day fix and already be on the next branch. So I built Merge & Tell: every merged PR becomes a drafted post, and I only have to say yes.
Now I had several repos, each with a hand-written nightly sweep that read the error logs and opened fixes. In about two months they drifted into three different pipelines. One rediscovered its whole backlog every night. NightForge is the one pipeline they all run now.
Docs, store listings, product pages, and Merge & Tell posts all wanted pictures of the app. Mine were frozen PNGs from whenever someone last remembered. Screenery makes CI push them and gives each one a URL that updates on release. Spec to published CLI in under two weeks.
The page you're reading pulls its screenshots from Screenery and its update notes from Merge & Tell. It's less a portfolio and more the place where all of it lands.
One project helping another, told with the real pull requests, the real bugs, and the real numbers.
Merge & Tell × Pheidi
I shipped Pheidi every day and told nobody. Merge & Tell turns each merge into a drafted post. Then a Pheidi PR where three cards disagreed rebuilt Merge & Tell's own PR page.
Screenery × Pheidi
Pheidi's docs, Play Store listing, and promo video all come out of CI through Screenery. A test reads the source as a syntax tree so a stale screenshot can't sneak through.
NightForge × every repo
Hand-written nightly sweeps turned into three different pipelines in two months. One wrote 24 KB of the same findings every night. NightForge is the one pipeline they all share now.
Same facts as the picture, for anyone who'd rather read.
