I make software in Denmark, and most of it ships under CARTIQO, the independent product studio I run. That covers my own products for Discord communities, a clothing label, and websites and bots for other businesses, shown working in full before anyone pays.
I design things and I build them, so nothing gets lost in a handover, and I keep running them after launch day.
This is my personal account. Studio code lives at @CartiqoFramework, and most of it stays private until it is worth someone else's time.
| Project | What it is | Status |
|---|---|---|
| cartiqo.xyz | The studio's home. What CARTIQO makes, how a commission works, what it costs, and the writing. | Live |
| CARTIQO Tools | Discord role icons, profile badges, icon packs and covers, designed in the browser at the sizes Discord actually shows them. There is a marketplace for what other people publish, and signing in with Discord is optional: it only turns on publishing. | Live |
| CARTIQO Veyra | Adaptive verification and security intelligence for Discord, built to stop abuse before it reaches a community. Every verification is scored across 16 signals, and every decision keeps the signals that produced it. | MVP |
| Modyra | Moderation for Discord, and nothing else. Every action becomes a numbered case, escalation follows a ladder you configure, and it never reads message content. Veyra's sibling. | Building |
| CARTIQO Lists | A directory for Discord bots and communities. Listings, voting and a public API. | Early |
| CARTIQO Clothing | A made-to-order clothing label. T-shirts, knitwear, outerwear and accessories, a short list in each, with no seasons and no drops. Opening at cartiqo.clothing and shipping worldwide. | Building |
I build websites and custom Discord bots for other businesses. You send a brief, and if I take it on, you see the real thing working in full before any money moves. Like it and it is yours. If not, you owe nothing.
Live so far: Walu_Cutzz, a booking site for a barbershop in Kolding where clients pick the cut and a time without a phone call or a DM.

| Repository | What it does |
|---|---|
| discord-transcript | Self-contained HTML transcripts of Discord channels, rendered with Discord's own message components. On npm as @cartiqo/discord-transcript. TypeScript. |
| CTQCore | FiveM core resource: connect queue and configuration, built on CTQBridge. Lua. |
| CTQBridge | Connects a FiveM server to a dashboard, so players can be kicked, banned and managed from a browser. QBCore, Qbox, ESX and standalone. Lua. |
| CTQui | A modern NUI kit for FiveM: notifications, text UI and progress bars. JavaScript. |
The three FiveM resources are early and untested on a production server. They are public so the work is readable, and each one says so.
Notes from my own codebase, each one a real defect or a real decision, with the code that shipped.
- Rate limit before you read the body, not after
- Parsing the JSON is what breaks the webhook signature
- An ARIA role is a promise, and a broken one is worse than none
- We build the site before we invoice for it

Mostly Discord bots.
- CoffeeBots: a multi-purpose bot platform. Discontinued.
- ProjectBots, formerly DiscoBots: a modular Discord bot framework. Discontinued.
- Good Vibes Only: a positivity-driven community bot and its dashboard. Discontinued.
- discord.js v14 systems: tickets, help command, suggestions, server list and templates. Written in 2022 and left up for reference.
Work, questions and everything else: hello@cartiqo.xyz. The community hangs out on Discord, and help with the products is in the support server.
I never ask for passwords, tokens or payment in a DM. If someone using the CARTIQO name does, report it to the address above. Security issues have their own route: read SECURITY.md first.
