Xinyuan’s ToolboxI build small tools to make my own work and everyday life a little easier: keeping up with AI, staying organized, learning the craft of IS research, planning meals, and occasionally making academia a little more fun.Xinyuan's Toolbox brings these projects together in one place. Some are practical tools I use regularly, while others are experiments, learning resources, or small side projects built around problems I wanted to solve for myself. They are all free to use.I'm sharing them in case they are useful to others as well. If you try any of them, please feel free to contact me with feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improvement. I'd be very happy to hear from you.
