When our homeschool needs a tool, we build it. The finished ones live on this shelf.
All handmade. Warranty policy: whenever Dad has a free evening.

Learning Chinese? You'll have to write it too.
Custom Chinese handwriting worksheets: tianzige or mizige grids, pinyin, stroke order, and traceable characters — print and practice. Parents set the words, kids pick up the pen.

Cover the house in God's Word.
A little tool that prints Bible verses onto 3×3 inch sticky notes: print the alignment template, stick on the notes, print the verses — then peel and post them on doorframes, mirrors, and desks.
These tools were built for our own children first, so they don't try to do everything — each one just tries to do one small thing well.
Some of them are open source (WatermelonFin, for one) — help yourself, and tell us on GitHub if something feels off. The rest are still private, because the code isn't fit for company yet. Once it's tidied up, we'll open the doors.
