Solo developer · Building in the open
Small tools,
built with obsessive care.
Hi, I’m Linh — a solo developer who builds across the stack: developer tools, backend services, and the infrastructure that runs it all. This site is the public shelf.
Extensions
What’s public today
VS Code extensions for the tools I use daily — each one dogfooded long before it reaches the Marketplace.
PostgreSQL Explorer
Browse and query PostgreSQL without leaving your editor. Inspired by Beekeeper Studio and IntelliJ’s database tools.
NATS Explorer
Browse NATS JetStream streams and subjects, inspect messages with a beautiful JSON viewer. Inspired by Qaze.
Redis Explorer
Browse Redis databases and inspect keys with type-aware rendering — strings, hashes, lists, sets, streams. Inspired by Redis Insight.
Oracle Explorer
Browse Oracle schemas, tables and views, run SQL with a beautiful results viewer — no Oracle Client required.
Git History for selections
File history, line-selection history and a real diff viewer — the IntelliJ git experience, inside VS Code.
Beyond extensions
The rest of the workshop
Extensions are just what’s public. The same care goes into everything else I build and run.
Self-hosted infrastructure
I run my own stack — databases, message queues, monitoring. Operating it daily keeps the tools I build honest.
Services & tooling
Go and TypeScript services, CLI utilities and automation — the glue that keeps everything humming.
Experiments
AI tools, games and small apps for family and friends. Most stay private until they’re worth your attention.
How I build
Principles over features
Local & private by default
Credentials belong in your editor’s secret store and your OS keychain — never on a server of mine. There is no server of mine.
Keyboard-first
Ctrl+Enter runs your query. Ctrl+Alt+H opens
history. If it can be a shortcut, it is one.
Lightweight, always
Everything I ship is small and fast — from extension bundles to this website, which is plain HTML, CSS and JS. No trackers, no cookies.
