An open-source lab
sparshlabs is a one-person lab. Each tool solves one problem well, says plainly what it doesn’t do, and is free to run yourself.
The projects
Trustworthy touch
Stops a tap from activating the wrong thing when the interface changes under the finger: a new message slides in, a row shifts, a button changes meaning mid-press.
npm install @sparshlabs/reactYour PR. Your Compute.
Turns your Linux machine into a GitHub Actions runner for your repository, with one command each to set it up, start it, stop it and remove it.
What it doesn’t protect against

sparshlabs is one developer building tools in the open. It started with sparsh, Sanskrit for “touch”: a small library I wrote to stop a tap from landing on the wrong thing when an interface moves under someone’s finger.
Building it set the bar I now hold every project to: fix a real annoyance, explain it plainly, and be pleasant to adopt. That bar outgrew one library, so sparsh became sparshlabs: a home for each tool that follows. OwnCI, a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner, is the second.
They’re for developers who would rather understand a tool than just trust it.
How I build
Every project starts from an annoyance people actually hit, and stays small enough to explain in a sentence.
Docs say what is tested, what is not, and what a tool does not protect you from. No surprises after you adopt it.
MIT licensed, no accounts, no lock-in. Read the source, run it where you like, fork it if you need to.
