Using the same app framework from my previous post, I reworked it into something that could be used as a live workplace wallboard system.

This version was designed for a print lab environment, where teams can track production stats, monitor progress throughout the day, and view live team performance on a shared display.

One feature I particularly enjoyed building was the “Build + Grow” section in the bottom right. Instead of focusing purely on competition, I wanted to encourage teamwork and shared goals. As more work gets completed, the visual scene evolves through multiple stages, giving the team something to build towards together.

The system also includes separate Admin and Manager views for monitoring app health, managing data, and exporting spreadsheets when needed.

What’s been interesting about these recent projects is seeing how one core framework can be adapted into completely different applications depending on the use case. Last week it was a game client concept, this week it became a live operations dashboard.

I’ve been building these systems using technologies like Tauri, Supabase, Render, and private Git workflows to create lightweight desktop apps with live data syncing, user roles, and remote update support. 🧠

Recently I’ve been experimenting more with desktop app development and custom user systems, so I decided to build a concept game client for independent studios 👾

The goal was to create something that gives smaller developers more control over how their games, branding, and community are presented.

This concept includes:
• User and admin roles
• Game catalog management
• Store and library sections
• Wishlist support
• Role based permissions
• Supabase integration for authentication and database queries

One feature I particularly enjoyed building was the ability to instantly switch between admin and standard user views to test permissions and workflows in real time.

Rather than relying completely on marketplace templates, the idea is that everything can be customised around the studio and the experience they want players to have.

Definitely a fun project to work on and a good way to keep improving my knowledge around app development, databases, and live systems 🧠

When I’m waiting for development tasks to finish, no emails coming through, and no engineers needing support, I still like to stay productive instead of sitting idle.

So I started building something for myself called OpsForge Hub 👀

It’s a personal productivity and development workspace I built to keep everything in one place throughout the day.

It includes:
• Quick knowledge checks
• A snippet vault for useful scripts and commands
• Microtasks and reminders
• Notes for project ideas
• A customisable layout and theme system
• Even a small pixel art tool for creative breaks 🎨

The goal was to create something that keeps me organised, learning, and productive while longer tasks run in the background.

One of my favourite things about development is solving problems by building tools that make day to day work smoother and more efficient.

Been working on something a bit different this week 👀

I’ve built a simple website for LW Tech so people can see what I offer and get in touch more easily.

What’s nice is it’s already running live, didn’t cost anything to set up, and gave me the freedom to build it exactly how I wanted instead of relying on pre made templates.

I enjoy building things like this alongside my IT work, so it’s been a fun project to work on.

If you’ve ever thought about having something similar or need help with anything tech related, feel free to message me and I’ll take a look 👍

Ever wondered what’s taking up all your storage? 🤔

You check settings, uninstall apps, but somehow your drive is still full.

A lot of the time it’s hidden files or things you wouldn’t normally spot. One tool I use called WinDirStat gives a clear visual of everything on your system, so you can quickly see what’s actually using space.

If your PC is running slow or storage keeps filling up, feel free to message me and I’ll take a look 👍

Hi everyone, I’m Louis 👋

I’ve recently started offering local IT support alongside my full time role working in IT and systems development.

If you’ve got a slow PC, something not working properly, or just not sure what’s going on, feel free to message me and I’ll happily take a look.

I spend a lot of my time troubleshooting and building solutions at work, so I enjoy helping fix everyday tech issues just as much.
