About

Weird Science is a one-person software lab. I'm Mike Romain, an independent developer. I build the things I want to use, then keep the ones that work.

Most projects start as an experiment on a weekend and either die quietly or end up here. Some ship, some stay prototypes. All of them taught me something.
