Simple Coders

Built for the real world.

Hi, I’m Sam — a hobbyist Windows developer who loves building useful tools, exploring the Windows API, and solving problems for fun.

Here you’ll find the projects I’ve been tinkering with, a few experiments, and the occasional programming rabbit hole.

☆ FEATURED PROJECT

Crabbycord

Turns out “I’ll just add one more feature” was a lie.

Crabbycord enhances the Discord experience with additional features, a cleaner interface, and tools I wanted to use but couldn’t find anywhere else.

Built with VB.NET & .NET 10
Custom UI and theming
Plugin architecture
Still actively developed

I’ve been programming since 1999 and fell in love with VB.NET back in the early 2000s. These days, I mostly build Windows tools with VB.NET and enjoy diving deep into the Windows API.

P/Invoke, memory management, and low-level Windows stuff? Yes please.

When I’m not coding, I’m probably gaming, listening to music, or tinkering with something that will either make my life easier or become completely unnecessary. 😊

🗑 Digital Dumpster

Where old code goes instead of the recycle bin.

These projects are old, abandoned, or simply terrible.
They’re here because deleting them would erase part of the journey.

Historical accuracy has been preserved. Quality has not. 😄
