Hi, I'm James Miller 👋

Engineer, toolmaker, and documentation enthusiast. I build small, focused Linux tools that reduce onboarding friction, streamline workflows, and make complex systems easier to understand and use.

Featured Projects

Linux Creative Suite

An AppImage installer demonstrating AppPacks: curated bundles of open-source software for different roles.

  • Custom icons and desktop menu integration
  • Anyone can create and share their own AppPack (teachers, teams, or individual workflows)
    GitHub →

Game Shelf Curator

GUI tool that scrapes metadata and images for games to populate launcher collections.

  • Reduces manual setup for multi-platform game libraries

Philosophy

  • Build tools that make people self-sufficient, not dependent
  • Document clearly so others can adopt, replicate, or extend systems
  • Release open-source software with thought-out UX and maintainable architecture

Skills & Technologies

  • Python, Bash scripting, Linux GUI development
  • Cross-distribution packaging (AppImage, Flatpak)
  • Desktop integration (custom icons, .desktop files, menus)
