This website is a personal project of mine that I've used to help learn about the Next.js framework and improve my understanding of React. Currently this project consists solely of a frontend, but I am excited to start work soon on a backend for the project that will help track analytics, gather newsletter signups, and provide a better interface for contacting me. Stay tuned!
View rheisen/rheisen-web on GitHubI've been working on Blackbear (under various names) for a few years. It is a passion project that has allowed me to experiment with numerous frameworks. Eventually I would like for it to help people interface with technology in a more healthy and productive way. Some of the features under development include messaging, calendars, tools for organizing personal relationships, and event discovery. Stay tuned!
While developing Golang services, I began to desire a more bespoke method of configuring Go applications. I wanted validation to live right alongside configuration values, I wanted a configuration structure that could safely be logged after it had loaded its values, and I wanted packages within an application to be able to define their own configuration. These desires led me to creat BConf (Better / Builder Configuration). Now, I use BConf for configuration throughout all of my Go applications, and I've been very happy with how it has simplified the application configuration in my services.
View rheisen/bconf on GitHubI started Xavier Config with the goal of being able to set up a uniform development environment between my personal computer and work computer. I also wanted to learn more about the terminal and improve my productivity with Vim. Xavier Config is the result of those goals. It is a set of instructions and resources to easily configure a uniform Terminal/Neovim/Tmux configuration on devices using MacOS. As I have learned more about Vim and explored more programming languages, this configuration has grown with me. I am excited to see this project continue to grow and evolve as I grow as a software engineer.
