HiAriesZhou/README.md

Hi, it's Aries 👋

Building what I need, keeping what matters.

I've been a software engineer for over nine years — data security for video conferencing first, open-source private cloud storage these days. On the side, I build small tools for myself and ship them in public.

Each one fixes something I kept running into:

  • XTOC icon XTOC — adds a table of contents to long X Articles and lets you clip the passages worth keeping.
  • Bookmark Assistant icon Bookmark Assistant — sorts and tags your bookmarks, so the ones you save actually get used.
  • DashBye icon DashBye — syncs Chrome Web Store packages, listings, and artwork from your repo, so a release no longer means half an hour in the dashboard.
  • Hairpin icon Hairpin — brings back the menu bar icons hidden behind the MacBook notch.
  • Howler icon Howler — answers quick AI questions in a sealed letter that burns once you've read it, like its namesake.
  • LiteContext icon LiteContext — turns your notes and local files into knowledge AI tools can search and cite. Still early...

AI is what lets me build these without being held back by limited energy or stacks I don't know yet. They fit my own habits first; if they fit yours too, even better.
