Become a sponsor to Joseph
Hi, I'm Joseph. I've built software for more than twenty years, and I've contributed to open source since the early 2000s (Xajax).
What I build on GitHub
- Omarchy: 20 open PRs to omacom/omarchy
- Packaging and security: a 1Password polkit policy (omacom/omarchy-pkgs #489, merged), Tobii Eye Tracker 5 support (#817), and per-package security advisory files.
- 62 merged PRs overall, including in my own yabs (14) and flow (13).
What I share on X (@calledtocnstrct)
- Bundles: one command that sets up a whole workflow (post).
- Desktop security: an Omarchy package repo with built-in risk and vulnerability data and real-time scanning (post).
- A text paint tool for Omarchy art (post).
- Eye-tracking games for kids: Pop-up Pals, Sugar Counter and Sun Garden (post).
- Building with AI agents, such as theme-aware terminal apps made with Grok Build (post).
- Computers that adapt to people: "Omarchy with Agent integration is the way forward" (post), and new ways to interact with computers (post).
Where I'm headed: open-source desktops with built-in agents and vulnerability visibility, ready for banking-style IT.
