# Hello there!

## Welcome to bluepants.dev

I'm Shaun, and this is my tech notebook. I write up the things I figure out so I don't have to figure them out twice: Linux and sysadmin fixes, homelab and self-hosting projects, and the iOS apps I build. If one of my notes saves you an afternoon, even better.

### Featured app

**[NFC Yourls Library](https://bluepants.dev/apps/nfc-yourls)** turns a self-hosted [Yourls](https://yourls.org) site into a tappable library catalog. Scan a book's barcode, create a short link on your own server, and write it to an NFC tag. It's in beta on TestFlight now. [See all apps](https://bluepants.dev/apps).
