inpath.io

About

Hi, I'm an educator of 18 years and a Linux user since the '90s.

I build native KDE Plasma apps that fill the gaps for teaching and learning on Linux. Tools I need.

My story

I've worked in education for about 18 years, as a Technology Administrator, a computer science teacher and a mentor leader. Along the way I helped move a school into the 2-in-1 digital age and led its switch to fully wireless classrooms, built on Windows and Miracast.

At home, I've used Linux since the '90s. It has grown into a fast, private and affordable desktop, but some of what teachers and students rely on every day is still missing or harder than it should be.

Over the years I've worked on passion projects to fill those gaps, for the people teaching, the people learning, and everyone doing a bit of both. inpath.io is where they live. Konduit casts a Linux desktop to the same kind of Miracast displays I rolled out in classrooms. Safn is a pen-first notebook for the 2-in-1 laptops and pen tablets students now carry.

Everything is written on CachyOS with KDE Plasma and used day to day before it's shared.

What I care about

  • Native, not ported

    Apps that feel like they belong on the Plasma desktop, from colour scheme to accessibility settings.

  • Plain language

    When something needs attention, say what and why, with steps you can follow.

  • Light and local

    Low memory, low CPU, runs well on older hardware. Your data stays on your machine.

  • Built for real rooms

    Shaped by years of running classroom technology, and tested against the projectors, adapters and devices schools actually use.

What I work with

On these projects

  • C++
  • Rust

Also

  • PHP
  • JavaScript
  • HTML
  • C#
  • MySQL

Frameworks

  • Qt 6
  • KDE Frameworks 6

Platform

  • Linux
  • CachyOS / Arch
  • KDE Plasma 6
  • Wayland

Now

  • Konduit: in early development, used day to day and tested with ScreenBeam classroom adapters. Considering a public release on the AUR.
  • Safn: in development, now with text boxes, code blocks, shapes and connectors. Next up are search and export to PDF and images.

Do you use AI?

Yes. Konduit and Safn are my own creations: the ideas, the design and the direction are mine. Some of the harder problems, though, weren't solved until I brought AI into the loop.

Today Claude Code is my assistant. It helps me write and work through code, while I decide what gets built and how, and I use everything day to day before it's shared.

Does that still make me a solo developer? I'm still working that one out.
