What is choralcat? It's the world's first CCMS (Choral Catalog Management System).
Projects
aoestats.io is a website I created that periodically, and automatically, calculates statistics for the Age of Empires II video game. The backend and stats code is written with Python and Django. Stats are calculated daily. The frontend is written with Vue and Nuxt. The site is hosted on a Hetzner VPS.
The first of its kind CCMS (Choral Catalog Management System). It's a power tool for choral music directors to manage, tag, and organize their sheet music. The idea is to make searching your music inventory easier and unlock your ability to put together killer musical programs.
The code can be found on GitHub. The application is a Django application with AlpineJS and htmx for some light interactivity. I went overboard and integrated a CI/CD pipeline and a full observability stack.
