Taylor-McNeil/README.md

Developer Experience Engineer • Technical Writer • Fantasy Nerd • World Traveler

Hey, I'm Taylor – I turn complex tech mumbo jumbo into real things that solve problems.
Currently building tools for writers and shipping front-end projects (React/TS), but still deeply rooted in Python, API design, and docs that don't suck.

Former DevRel @ Mastercard, Stellar, Dropbox

Built as API documentation — because fun :)

🚀 Latest Project: The Long View

You've seen those $50 "Big Year Calendars" on TikTok — giant wall posters that show your whole year at once. I wanted a digital version that was free, portable, and didn't require an account. The Long View lets you plan across months, drag events through time, and zoom between year and quarter views. Everything lives in localStorage with JSON export, so you own your data completely.

Built with: React • TypeScript • shadcn • dnd-kit

🧠 Currently Building

  • Ampersand
    A visual outlining tool for writers managing complex, nonlinear narratives. Investigation boards, timeline views, and relationship mapping for stories that don't fit in a straight line.
    React TypeScript Postgres

  • Domains of Power
    A seven-book epic fantasy romance series. Book 1 in progress. Think prestige anime meets institutional horror — if The CW took a mushroom trip and never returned.
