Loda – JavaScript library that makes websites load in 0.04 seconds
After a quick drag-and-drop installation, Loda's client-side JavaScript library will augment how web browsers load your web pages. It's not uncommon to see 300ms load times become 36ms, or 15 second load times drop to 5 seconds.

FTL – Hover events before they happen
FTL uses cursor prediction to trigger hover events right before users actually hover over elements, enabling your interface to achieve impossible levels of snappiness. FTL is at the core of Loda and they are developed in parallel.
Created with HTML and JavaScript.
Liot R – IoT router and software message broker
Built on a foundation of Node.js and RethinkDB, Liot R enables users to route data packets to and from any device or software application. The JSON-formatted messages are sent as an internal broadcast, and receivers can listen for packets matching easy yet robust JSON filters.
Created with Node.js and RethinkDB (NoSQL).
Liot D – Hyperspeed IoT router as an NPM package
In Development
Liot D scraps the database and runs everything in memory for a message brokering experience not constrained by nonvolatile memory. In addition to routing messages between devices and applications, Liot D can be run as a Node.js module for internal message brokering.
Created with Node.js and TypeScript.
AntiScript – Human to robot translator
Demo available on request.
AntiScript translates pure English pseudocode into RobotC or VEXcode, which can then be uploaded to VEX robots. Translation typically takes less than one millisecond, so you can get updated code live as you type English. To cap it off, RobotC can be mixed in with your AntiScript code -- on the same line, even -- and the translator will run without issue.
Created with TypeScript, JavaScript, and Node.js. Optional visual interface created with HTML, CSS, and JS.
