Weekend builds for people I know

I'm James, based in Singapore. Weekdays I run technology projects. Weekends I build small web apps for family, friends, and church — then write up how they were made.

What is on this site

Seven short guides, the tools I reach for, and ten apps — study marking for Singapore students, a gospel walkthrough, board games, flashcards, chord sheets, a prayer wall, and a few private builds for specific groups.

Why "Goodsoil"

From the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:3–9): seed scattered on paths, rocks, and thorns — and seed on good soil that yields thirty, sixty, a hundredfold. Most side projects land on rock. I keep building, keep notes, and tend the ones that take root.

How I build

Mostly with Oh My Pi (OMP) on Pi, plus OpenCode, Claude Code, and Codex CLI when they fit — with Hermes on background jobs. A second model checks the result before anything ships.

What is not here

Nothing from my day job. No finance or trading tools either — those stay private.
