Albenoir Lab

Software, experiments & field notes.

Useful software, technical experiments, and practical writing from the workbench.

01Open Source

Built to be used.

Focused software released openly when the problem, solution, and source code are worth sharing.

Open-source Chromium extension

NotF11

LiveLive on the Chrome Web Store

Any browser tab, toolbar-free.

NotF11 turns your current live browser tab into a clean, toolbar-free, resizable window. The same tab stays alive, preserving scroll position, entered text, login state, and in-page progress.

  • Same live tab — no URL reopen
  • Multiple independent clean windows
  • Chrome + Brave · Windows Snap + FancyZones

Open-source Linux terminal game launcher

Marchine

LiveAvailable on GitHub

Game Machinery.

Marchine is a Linux-first, terminal-native game launcher built for focused, keyboard-driven desktop workflows. Developed on Arch Linux and at home in environments like Omarchy, it starts MAME-first — combining local game metadata, category navigation, configuration, and direct launching inside a restrained terminal interface.

  • Linux-first — developed on Arch, at home in Omarchy
  • MAME-first library with local category metadata
  • Keyboard-driven, local-first workflow with direct launching

02Field Notes

Writing from the workbench.

Short essays on software, architecture, product thinking, and the changing relationship between builders and AI.

01Coming soon
Design & software

Responsive design has roots older than the web.

Content and presentation have been negotiating space long before CSS. Modern responsive design belongs to a much older lineage.

02Coming soon
AI + software

Working with AI without giving up engineering judgment.

Where AI accelerates development, where judgment still matters, and why understanding the system remains part of the job.

03Coming soon
Software engineering

Why small software still becomes architecture.

A tiny utility can quickly accumulate state, lifecycle, recovery, and edge cases. Small code does not always mean a small system.

03Experiments

Ideas worth testing.

Small prototypes and technical explorations get room here before anyone decides what they need to become.

Lab statusThe bench is active. More experiments are being built.
