THE CONTRAPTIONS

05 usable · 02 made for me

Quadra icon

MACOS APP

Quadra

Straighten a crooked photo by drawing one line.

My daughter needed to fix tilted pictures. Every app I found wanted a subscription for a two-second job, so I made one that doesn't.

CLAUDE CODE PLUGIN

Maestro

A personal orchestrator for Claude Code, with a name, a memory and its own files.

One assistant that remembers what happened, for real, locally.

CLAUDE CODE SKILLS

devflow / projectflow

Take a piece of work from idea to done, one small slice at a time.

Brainstorming, framing, shaping and planning: devflow for code, projectflow for life projects. Both keep the thread on disk between sessions.

NPM PACKAGE

Dato bar

A local dev bar for DatoCMS sites: drafts, published content and visual editing in one click.

I kept rebuilding the same toggles in every project. Now it's one package that works in any framework.

DATOCMS PLUGIN

Condates

Dates you only half know: a year, a month, or the full day.

History rarely comes with exact dates. This lets editors say so instead of inventing a day.

v0.1.1 · DatoCMS marketplace

MADE FOR ME · NOT FOR SALE, NOT FOR SIGN-UP

  • Slacky

    A task manager that notices when I procrastinate and says so. Private, runs my week.

  • Trama

    Hierarchical timelines of historical processes, built on DatoCMS.

RESERVED · NEXT EXPERIMENT

Empty on purpose. Something here will ask for more than a click.

ABOUT

Ciao, I'm Matteo. I've been making things for the web for about thirty years. By day I run the partner program at DatoCMS; these are the side projects I play with, pairing my skills with Claude Code.
