I'm ZFordDev. I build modular tools, scalable infrastructure, and clean systems. I care about clarity, reliability, and practical implementation — shipping code and sharing what I learn along the way.

SnapDock — Markdown Editor (LTS)

SnapDock is a clean, fast Markdown Editor designed for writers, developers, and documentation-heavy workflows. Built with pure JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, SnapDock delivers a distraction-free environment with file-tree navigation, multi-file viewing, and a polished ZetoLabs interface. As of v2.2.6, SnapDock has entered Long-Term Support (LTS) and now serves as the stable foundation for the upcoming SnapDock-Pro suite.

Core Principles

My work is guided by a few simple rules: respect the system, respect the user, and leave the codebase better than you found it.

Ship With Intent

Every build should feel finished. Clean logic, clear documentation, and predictable behavior — no half‑measures, no mystery code.

Respect the Hardware

Tools should be fast, efficient, and lightweight. I design systems that run cleanly — whether on a tiny VPS or a full workstation.

Build Composable Systems

Small, modular components scale better than monoliths. I prefer systems that can be swapped, extended, or rebuilt without friction.
