Client software
Custom web applications, technical rescue work, modernization, and workflow systems designed around the people who depend on them.
Creative software engineer and maker
Useful software with an artist’s touch.
I’m J. Dennis Riddle, a software builder and artistic creator with 20+ years of experience turning messy ideas into practical web applications, automation, and digital systems. Through AppWeft, I help clients ship tools people actually use. On YouTube and social media, I share the craft behind the work.
What I build
Tools, systems, and creative work made for real people.
Automation and prototypes
Internal tools, AI-assisted product prototypes, data flows, and process automation that feel useful, clear, and humane.
Building in public
Videos, notes, experiments, and project breakdowns that connect software craft with visual thinking, storytelling, and artistic practice.
Development business
AppWeft is where client ideas become working software.
AppWeft is my software development business for clients who need clear thinking, steady execution, and tools their teams can understand, adopt, and enjoy using.

I’m starting a YouTube channel for software builds, creative tools, artistic experiments, client lessons, and the reality of independent technical work.
Monthly support
Support independent tools, videos, and creative experiments.
Client work keeps the business moving. Optional monthly support helps cover the extra time and costs behind public experiments, videos, hosting, software, and release work.
