Music & sharing

Letterwave

A way to send musical letters to friends. Your words become something they can listen to.

What I cracked

What I cracked

An offline-capable tool for making QR codes that move, with different formats to share them in. A small utility with room to play.

An internal dashboard for tracking Cash Flow feedback from UserVoice.
