Welcome to xandercat.org.  Some of the projects referenced here are just small hobby projects I wrote for myself. 

Notable projects include:

• PMDB (Personal Movie Database):  I wrote this to capture various web application technologies in a functioning application, but I also actually use this software to track my own movie collection.  There are two versions of this application:

  • PMDB - Spring MVC Edition:  Written in Spring MVC with Thymeleaf.

  • PMDB - Angular Edition: Written with Angular front-end and Spring REST back-end.

• Snippy: Crafting tool for games.  Search recipes, create crafting resource lists, and search game world locations for resources.  Written with React front-end and Spring REST back-end.  This was live on AWS for awhile (for several months in 2024), but the only game I had full data for was Starfield, and Starfield crafting never really gained much interest, and I had learned everything I wanted to learn, so I shut it down to cut costs and focus on other work.

• CatBack:  A simple system backup utility written in Java Swing.  This is quite old, from when Java Swing was relevant.  I still use it to back up my own files.

• CatScan:  A simple file search utility written in Java Swing.  This is quite old, from when Java Swing was relevant.  I still use it to search files, and it's handy for identifying files and folders that are taking up excessive drive space.

• Zenput:  An input validation framework for Java Swing.  This is quite old, from when Java Swing was relevant.  CatBack and CatScan use it.
