Sharehub

ES Blog

A self-hosted Symfony editorial workspace for original articles, reviewed social drafts and opt-in newsletters.

ES Journal

A BookStack-based private journal. The application is showcased here; journal content requires authentication and is never public.

ES Developers

Developer documentation for installing, configuring and contributing to the ES apps.

ES Labs

A collection of experiments and prototypes. Public demos are being prepared; not every experiment is production-ready.

EGNIMAX

In development. EGNIMAX is a South African platform of three apps (MoneyMax, EduMax and ResuMax) sharing one profile and one guide, Max. MoneyMax is already in daily use for my own monthly budgeting: bank statement (OFX) imports, reconciliation rules with review and undo, and spending insights. Built with Symfony, with sign-in through a shared Logto SSO. Public launch to follow.

Owed

My entry to the PayPal AI Hackathon (Oct–Nov 2026). Owed is an AI collections copilot for freelancers and small studios who bill through PayPal. It reads your PayPal invoices, learns how each client actually pays (average days late, on-time rate, a risk score) and forecasts when the cash will really land. Claude agents write a morning brief and draft the right reminder for each overdue invoice: friendly, firm or final. Agents can draft but never send: every reminder waits in an approval queue, and only a signed-in person pressing Approve & send reaches PayPal. An audit trail records every draft, approval and PayPal call. Built with Next.js, AG Studio dashboards and its Agent Framework (with a Claude adapter I wrote), PayPal Invoicing v2, Transaction Search and the PayPal Agent Toolkit, and sign-in through a shared Logto SSO. The demo video is recorded by a script from the real app.
