A small lab. Many things shipped.
VineLab is a personal, non-commercial open-source lab. It is where I park the side projects I write in my spare time - CLI tools, web apps, browser extensions, AI agents, platform plugins, the occasional design system - and publish them under permissive or copyleft licenses so anyone can read, run, and own what they use.

A free-time workshop. Nothing here is for sale. There are no paid tiers, no managed-only features, no telemetry games, and no service contracts. If a project is useful to you, that is wonderful; you can self-host it, fork it, audit it, and contribute back. If it is not useful, that is also fine - it scratched my own itch and that was enough.
| Project | What it is | License | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| vaultctl | Self-hosted, zero-knowledge password vault. One Go binary, browser extension, CLI. | AGPL-3.0 | Beta |
| xrechnung-kit | EN 16931 / XRechnung 3.0 e-invoicing toolkit for PHP. Adapters for Laravel, Symfony, CakePHP, Laminas, Shopware, TYPO3, WordPress. | MIT | Stable |
The full list of projects, with categories and per-project links, lives at https://vinelab.in and at https://github.com/vinelabs-de.
VineLab publishes work across six disciplines:
- CLI tools - single-binary tools that respect your terminal
- Web apps - self-hostable, audit-friendly web software
- Browser extensions - Manifest V3 extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge
- AI agents - pragmatic agents and SDK glue, no hype
- Platform extensions - plugins for Shopware, TYPO3, WordPress, and friends
- Design systems - tokens, components, docs you can copy
Some categories are full of work; others are empty soil today and will fill in over time.
The four ground rules every project in the lab follows:
- Self-host first. Single binary, single image, single compose file. Deploy where it makes sense for you.
- Source you can audit. Permissive or copyleft, never source-available. The threat model lives in the repo, not the marketing page.
- Supply chain hardened. Signed releases, SBOMs, SLSA L3 provenance where it applies. You should be able to verify what you run.
- No telemetry tax. Nothing phones home. If a project ever needs usage data, it is opt-in and the README spells out what is collected.
The fastest way to talk about a project is on GitHub:
- Bugs and feature requests: open an issue on the project's repository at https://github.com/vinelabs-de
- Questions and discussions: GitHub Discussions on the relevant repo, where enabled
- Email: support@vinelab.in for project help, info@vinelab.in for general feedback
