I like building things and I'm not fussy about the medium — code, Lego, an argument about game design, a spreadsheet modelling something I have no business modelling. The pull is always the same: work out how it fits together, then make a version that fits better.

So I build small tools I wanted to exist. They're free, they run on my own machine first, and they live on the subdomains below.

Now

Building Switchboard — and learning that shipping a Windows app is about ten per cent writing the app.

Things that exist

Switchboard switchboard.bylalo.dev

Every device you own, one click away. Switch audio outputs, connect Bluetooth and check controller battery from the Windows tray — instead of opening the Sound panel for the fourth time that evening.

Separately from all of this, I make games and apps with a friend as Two Grains. That's a studio and this isn't — things here are just mine.
