Where ideas flow
I'm George Rhinehart. I've built software for over fifteen years, and rhinewareis where I make the things I want to make: tools I wish existed, side projects, and a bit of work for people I'd like to help. Some of it's free, some isn't.
Who's behind it
It's mostly just me
I've built software for over fifteen years, in fields where it has to work: national-lab science, defense, and health tech. rhineware is the part of that I get to do however I want.
There's a lot of bad software in the world, and I'd like to leave behind a bit more good than I found. Mostly that means small tools I wished existed, and the occasional project worth doing.
What I've made
