## Projects documented from the source

[Catalog](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/) · [Catalog as Markdown](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/index.md). Each brief: languages (GitHub Linguist bytes), README start commands, components, architecture edges, API routes and files to read.

- [.dotfiles](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/dotfiles/index.md): These dotfiles collect the shell and editor setup I used across machines. The installer manages packages, configuration files and upstream projects.
- [AINewsTracker](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/ainewstracker/index.md): AINewsTracker combines financial-news ingestion, AI analysis and market backtesting in a Python web application.
- [another-install-script](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/another-install-script/index.md): another-install-script is a shell entry point for choosing system setup and container installations. Its structure separates the menu from the service definitions so that adding a service does not require putting every command in setup.sh.
- [antoinebou12](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/antoinebou12/index.md): This is the repository behind my GitHub profile README. It combines ordinary Markdown with images, embedded widgets and scheduled updates. There is no application server in the profile itself.
- [architecture](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/architecture/index.md): This archived repository stores a home-infrastructure diagram in several formats. Its architecture is a documentation workflow: editable sources produce diagrams that can be opened or viewed without a running application.
- [Artemis-N3DS](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/artemis-n3ds/index.md): Artemis-N3DS adapts Moonlight Embedded to the Nintendo 3DS family. It combines host discovery and pairing with a console-specific interface, input handling and video presentation. The New 3DS hardware path is a particular concern.
- [Artemis-Switch](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/artemis-switch/index.md): Artemis-Switch is a fork in the Moonlight streaming family. The host runs the game. The client receives compressed video and audio, renders frames and sends controller input back.
- [AudioTranscript](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/audiotranscript/index.md): AudioTranscript breaks a WAV recording into chunks around silence, sends each chunk to a recognition service and concatenates the results. The current implementation uses Amazon recognition, even though its docstrings still mention Google.
- [AuthLaravel](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/authlaravel/index.md): AuthLaravel is an access-control learning project with a Laravel backend and Vue pages delivered through Inertia.

- [bloc](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/bloc/index.md): My bloc fork adds a Blender-facing workflow around S3 and MinIO storage. It preserves the upstream Blender-Cloud-Storage credit. The add-on translates object keys into a folder browser, then downloads assets before asking Blender to import them.
- [ChitUI](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/chitui/index.md): ChitUI places a browser interface in front of SDCP resin printers. A Python process serves the web assets, discovers printers on the local network and translates browser actions into printer communication.
- [ComfyUI-UML](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/comfyui-uml/index.md): ComfyUI-UML adds diagram-oriented nodes to ComfyUI. Text enters a workflow, a rendering backend turns it into an image, and the workflow can retain the source and viewer links alongside that output.
- [CV](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/cv/index.md): This website combines bilingual CV pages, structured resume data, LaTeX PDFs and a Hugo blog. A local script builds and validates both the CV and blog, then publishes them together from docs/ on main.
- [D2COpenAIPlugin](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/d2copenaiplugin/index.md): D2COpenAIPlugin is a FastAPI diagram service with a plugin manifest and an OpenAPI surface. Its implementation selects among PlantUML, Mermaid and Kroki paths based on the request’s diagram language.
- [DasherControl](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/dashercontrol/index.md): DasherControl brings homelab links and embedded applications into saved workspaces.

- [novatorem](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/novatorem/index.md): This novatorem fork builds music-status widgets from provider data. A Flask orchestrator handles rendering, while Spotify and Last.fm have separate modules. Album artwork supplies both an image and colors for the SVG.
- [nxsand](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/nxsand/index.md): nxsand is a falling-sand simulation for Switch with a desktop development target. Materials live in an integer grid. Simulation passes update that grid, and a separate rendering path turns material identifiers into the displayed image.
- [Pan-Tilt-Controller](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/pan-tilt-controller/index.md): This archived pan-tilt controller connects a desktop interface to a serial-controlled positioning unit. The implementation mixes a Qt event loop with pyserial commands and keeps the requested pan and tilt positions in global state.
- [PolyFEMBlenderPlugin](https://antoineboucher.info/CV/blog/projects/notes/polyfemblenderplugin/index.md): Blender 4.2 add-on that exports meshes and physics settings to a PolyFEM JSON file, runs PolyFEM through Docker and imports the results.
