Swaps the giant group text for a real ride board. Addresses stay private until a ride is locked in.

Rides to rehearsals and games get sorted out in a group text. Everyone's address and phone number gets shared with everyone, kids fall through the cracks, and the same few parents do all the driving.

• Private communities for each group, with their own members, events, rules and branding
• Parents ask for a ride by event, kid and direction. Others only see a general area until it's confirmed
• RouteAssist points drivers at requests that line up with a trip they're already making
• Ride day buttons plus a QR or 4 digit code to confirm pickup
• Branded text reminders (RCS) the day before and an hour before
• Organizer tools: approvals, driver rules, waitlists, calendar sync and plain reports

Free forever. Runs on donations and local sponsors.

A ground up rebuild of the old hfpricetracker.com that tells you in plain words whether to buy now or wait.

Shelf prices, instant savings, coupons, Inside Track Club deals and Parking Lot Sales all stack differently, and a "sale" isn't always a deal.

• Daily price checks on about 7,000 tools, coupons read every 6 hours
• A price chart for every tool with the lowest price ever and a fake sale check
• A Buy Now Or Wait call with the reasons spelled out
• Watches on tools, brands or keywords with email, push or text alerts
• Forward a receipt and it tracks savings and price adjustment chances
• A Chrome extension that shows price history right on harborfreight.com

A private photo finder for Flower Mound High School band families. It digs through thousands of photos every night and pulls out every shot of your kid.

The band's photo site has a huge pile of pictures from every game, contest and trip. Finding your own kid means clicking through gallery after gallery.

• Nightly sync from the band's photo site, with a home relay as backup
• Face matching shared across families: name a kid once, everyone benefits
• "Is this your Jag?" questions when a match isn't sure
• Tags, burst grouping and "Roar" upvotes so the best shots rise to the top
• 14 day share links for grandparents, zip downloads and senior albums
• Nothing public, signed expiring photo links, and parents can turn face finding off

Screenshots use drawn placeholder photos and made up names. No real kids appear here.

A rideshare app just for the family. A kid taps Get A Ride, a parent or sibling accepts, and both phones see each other on a live map. Tips are paid in chores.

Every family with kids runs a taxi service, and it runs on texts that get lost, answered twice, or never answered.

• Ride requests to parent approved places only, now or scheduled
• Push to every eligible driver with Accept and Not Me
• Live map with ETA and a push at every step
• A red emergency button on every screen that texts every parent a live location link
• Location only shared during a ride
• Surge pricing at dinner, a two minute chore auction, and a monthly fake IRS mileage invoice stamped UNPAID

Built in three phases over three days, with automated tests and uptime monitoring from day one. Private to our household.

Give it one main domain and any number of extras, and it handles Cloudflare, email security, redirects, hardening and certificates in one pass for each client.

Setting up a batch of domains by hand means dozens of DNS records, email settings and security toggles per domain. One missed step leaves a domain open to spoofing.

• Batch deploy from a client's own Cloudflare account
• Extra domains redirect and get their email locked down so nobody can spoof them
• Real email on the main domain with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT and BIMI
• Certificates built in: issue, auto renew, deliver and verify they're installed
• Audits every few minutes with drift alerts and a client health report
• Dry run first, typed confirmation for risky changes, and one click undo

Built for Harrison Ward Technology clients. Replaced my earlier DomainKeeper and CertWard tools.

Any TV, iPad or browser becomes a live home screen with the calendar, photos, countdowns, weather and more.

Paid digital signage is built for businesses. Families end up with a paper calendar, a group text and a weather app, none of it on the wall.

• Drag and drop page editor with dozens of widgets
• Pair any screen in seconds with a code or QR
• Playlists that change by time of day, updates in about a second
• Phone remote, kids remote and cast a photo to any screen
• Raspberry Pi kiosk with a physical button and TV power control
• Severe weather takeovers, holiday themes and offline mode

Built mobile first, because club life happens in the bleachers.

Booster clubs run on a pile of separate apps and a spreadsheet only the treasurer understands. Every May the officers turn over and half of it gets lost.

• A member home page per family: events, balances with a Pay button, hours and tickets
• Mission Control for officers: approvals, expenses, money and the week ahead
• Per student balances, payment plans and CSV handoff exports
• Volunteer signups, GPS check-in and QR trip rosters
• Phone ticket scanner, concession register and push to talk walkie
• 50 modules and 97 automated tests

A morning scanner for clearance across five DFW stores, built for friends who hunt markdowns together.

Home Depot's site makes it hard to see what's marked down at a specific store, how far it dropped, or when it drops next.

• Daily scans with every price saved
• Price history across stores with next drop guesses
• Penny hunt scores and keyword alerts
• A Where To Go Today trip planner
• Home nodes that check from a normal home connection
