About me
Hi, I'm Raven — a Java developer who spends most of his free time building things with Swing.
Desktop UI doesn't get a lot of love these days, but I still enjoy it — figuring out how components should behave and making them feel polished and easy to use. Most of that work ends up in a few open-source Swing libraries I maintain.
This site is where I write it all down — the things I build, the problems I run into, and the solutions once I've worked them out. It's as much a reference for future-me as it is for anyone else who stumbles on the same problem.
I also post walkthroughs on YouTube from time to time. If any of this is useful to you, feel free to follow along or say hi.
