sz.ws

Jul 2026 - Present · Independent software studio · Creator

My own software studio — seven products in one catalogue, on a two-letter domain.

7
products, one catalogue: 5
shipped — web, macOS, CLI

The umbrella for everything I ship solo: an extensible self-hosted CMS, Boppo (macOS input-method repair), drop (ephemeral static hosting), Across (real-time voice translation), Cenotaph (browser extension, pre-alpha), Foldio (custom macOS folder icons), and a CLI calling card — npx sz.ws. Web products live on *.sz.ws subdomains, each its own Cloudflare Worker.

Boppo

Jul 2026 - Present · sz.ws studio · macOS · Released

A macOS menu-bar app that repairs wrong-input-language typing in place — before you even notice.

0
keystrokes stored or sent: 100%
on-device detection

For the moment you start typing before noticing the input language is wrong: Boppo reads a short physical-key sequence and safely repairs Traditional Zhuyin ↔ English, failing closed whenever the text context is ambiguous or cannot be verified — it would rather miss one repair than delete one character.

Commissions

Got a project? Let’s talk.

I'm a remote full-stack dev at Emat — 擴益媒體, and the day job gives me clearance to take on side projects. Open to most kinds of work — landing pages, e-commerce, sign-up / event systems, internal tools, API / payment integrations, AI-assisted features, iOS prototypes. One or two at a time — clear scope, clean handoff. Not a fit for long-term retainer / on-call support.

“Rough, buggy, or unfinished — they’re all part of the growth.”
