Getting Started

kurtkluth.dev is three things in one place. It is a portfolio of everything I build, the documentation for each project, and the practical instructions to launch, understand, and use every one of them. You can enjoy the project cards without ever opening the docs, but the moment you want to know how something actually works, this side of the site has the answers.

Pick your path​

Most people show up here for one of six reasons. Find yours below.

You're here to organize movies and TV shows​

Reelabel is a private Windows development preview for metadata lookup, naming, tagging, and video conversion. Start with Quick Start, choose reusable naming profiles, and try an encoding preview on a disposable sample.

You're here to inspect a SQL Server database​

SQLCLR MCP .NET + Jev connects an MCP client to SQL Server for catalog exploration and read-only database review. Start with its Quick Start, then read about the architect tools. Jev semantic analysis is optional and still under evaluation.

You're here for SQLCLR​

SQLCLR documents how .NET code runs inside SQL Server, with governed and auditable boundaries. If that's your world, skip the games entirely. Start with the SQLCLR Overview for the lay of the land, then follow the Quick Start to load and run your first assembly. From there, the SQLCLR section covers installation, configuration, security, deployment, and troubleshooting in depth.

You're here to arrange your iPhone apps​

IconTiller is a Windows desktop development preview. Start with Quick Start, try Demo without a phone, then read the editing and Apply guide before making changes over USB.

You're here to play​

Kluth Studios ships seven browser games and interactive experiences. All of them run instantly in the browser. No install, no account, and free. Pick one and go:

  • Lisa Climber is Summit Smash, a pixel-art arcade climbing platformer.
  • Lisetris is a romantic neon falling-block puzzle game, made for Lisa.
  • Lisa's Tapistry is a cozy tap-away mosaic puzzle game, made for Lisa.
  • Lisa's Hexscape is a strategic hexagon puzzle in a twilight garden, made for Lisa.
  • Diamond Dynasty is an original baseball franchise sim. Build the roster, call the pitches, become a legend.
  • Skyroute is SkyRoute Infinite, an open-world browser flight simulator.
  • Spindrift is a vector-style arcade space shooter in the Asteroids tradition.

If you'd like the shared basics first (common keys, where scores are saved, touch support), read How to Play.

Something's broken​

Start with the cross-project Troubleshooting guide. It walks the checks that fix most browser problems, from hard refreshes to muted tabs. Each project also keeps its own troubleshooting and FAQ material in its docs section for project-specific quirks, and database-side issues have a dedicated home in SQLCLR Troubleshooting.

What you need​

Honestly, not much.

If you want to...You need
Organize videos with ReelabelWindows x64 and access to the private package; optional provider credentials or local IMDb datasets
Inspect SQL Server with MCPThe .NET 10 SDK, a reachable SQL Server database, and an MCP client
Arrange iPhone Home ScreensWindows, Python 3.12 for source use, and Apple mobile device drivers plus a USB cable for phone access
Play the gamesA current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari (desktop or mobile)
Fly Skyroute comfortablyA keyboard (Skyroute strongly prefers one; the other three games also support touch)
Work with SQLCLRAccess to a SQL Server instance you can administer, plus .NET build tooling

The games need no download or account. Desktop and database projects have their own setup steps: IconTiller Quick Start and SQLCLR Installation. The MCP server has its own Quick Start. Reelabel has a separate Windows Quick Start.
