Why I Choose Gitea for My Development Projects

For me, Gitea is much more than just a software development tool; it's a complete self-hosted solution that I rely on for managing my development projects. It offers the kind of control that aligns perfectly with my dynamic development needs, especially when I'm on the move.

My Public Repositories

Send2Email

A simple application I wrote for use at the Muskingum County Library System to send image files in the Pictures folder to a specified email address. We use this software for our Microfilm machines which automatically saves the images to the Pictures folder, and this allows our patrons to quickly and easily send their images to an email address.

Google Docs QRify

This project looks for instances of <<QR>> within a Google Doc and replaces them with that Google Doc's URL as a QR code. We use this software for our public documentation at MCLS. This way, when a station is updated we can simply update the instructions on the Google Doc, and the QR code will still point to the documentations.
