Core Artifacts

The primary systems powering ZetoLabs.

Flagship Productivity

SnapDock — Markdown Workspace

A clean, fast Markdown reader built with pure JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. SnapDock provides a distraction‑free workspace with file-tree navigation, multi-file viewing, and a polished ZetoLabs interface.

How We Build

Philosophy over frameworks. I believe in software that respects the user, the hardware, and the future maintainer.

Artifact-Driven

Every project is treated as a self-contained artifact. Complete, polished, and purposeful. No half-finished repos.

Local-First

Software should run on your machine, not just in the cloud. Prioritizing privacy, speed, and offline capability.

Modular Systems

Monoliths are fragile. I build systems composed of small, interchangeable parts that orchestrate together.
