Razor files are awkward. They mix HTML markup, C# logic, and Blazor component syntax in one file. Prettier crashes on @if blocks. Visual Studio's built-in formatter struggles with multi-line tags that contain @() expressions. dotnet format does the C#, but leaves the markup alone.

We hit this often enough to do something about it. Razor Formatter runs on a small state machine that tracks quoted attributes, parenthesis depth inside @() expressions, and component nesting across multi-line tags. Drop a file in, get a properly indented one out. It runs entirely in the browser, which means no upload and no telemetry. Live at razorformatter.com.

Coleman is a local community centre with about a thousand people moving through it every month, classes, events, room bookings, the usual. The old site was held together with hope. We rebuilt it on Blazor WASM with an ASP.NET Core API behind it, deployed on Linux with Caddy, and made the bits staff actually touch as boring and predictable as possible.

It runs itself, which is the goal. We pop in when something needs a nudge.

3,260 questions, 33 subjects, three game modes (Endless, Sprint, Random). Each round is ten multiple-choice questions, every answer ships with a one-sentence fact, and the wrong ones teach you as much as the right ones.

The subjects are organised the way life actually divides up: street smarts and first aid and cooking sit alongside the harder sciences; psychology and rhetoric next to economics and politics. Keyboard-driven if you want it (1-4 or A-D, Enter to advance), with an end-of-round breakdown and a result you can copy and share. Live at theusefulquiz.com.

A local madrasah needed a way to take student applications online without rebuilding their whole admin operation. We built a small Blazor WASM site with an ASP.NET Core API behind it, hooked into a MariaDB database, and gave the staff a clean form to send applicants to.

They run it themselves now. We hear about it when something breaks, which isn't often.

Most donation platforms read like marketing dashboards. We wanted one that didn't. The Daily Charity runs on Blazor WASM with a small ASP.NET Core API behind it, real-time messaging via SignalR for the live feed, and absolutely no tracking pixels.

Currently being rebuilt and refined. The plan: one privacy-focused donation platform, hosted free for charities who'd rather their donors stay donors than become leads.

This one is a passion project. There's a long tradition of memorising classical Arabic poetry and prose line by line, and we wondered if a daily web puzzle could turn that practice into something playful.

Built on the same Blazor WASM and ASP.NET Core stack the rest of the work runs on. Quietly in development, no announcement yet, no marketing budget. The idea is to ship it when it earns being shipped.

Amal Quaryaty is a charity based in Morocco. They needed a way to take donations and tell people what they were doing, in Arabic, French, and English.

Built on the same Blazor and ASP.NET stack we use everywhere, kept light enough to load over patchy mobile connections. Currently in development, with the multilingual layer being shaped before launch.
