What is Mark Hopper's website (markhopper.info)?
markhopper.info is the personal work-and-projects site of Mark Hopper, a Senior Product Manager Architect at Microsoft who also describes himself as a Windows developer and open-source contributor/maintainer. The site is a portfolio and navigation hub for apps, games, TRMNL plugins, and other open-source tools he has built — not a commercial product or service. If you want to see what he has shipped, find source code, or install one of his Windows apps, this is the entry point.
Who Mark Hopper is
The site presents him under three overlapping roles:
- Microsoft: Senior Product Manager Architect.
- Windows developer: builds Windows applications, primarily with C#, WinUI 3, and .NET.
- Open-source contributor/maintainer: publishes source for his projects and contributes to public repositories.
The site itself is organized around "Projects" and "Experience," with a "View projects →" link as the main call to action.
What's on the site
The homepage is a project index. Each entry links out to a Microsoft Store listing, a source repository, or an external recipe page. Projects shown include:
| Project | Type | Status / stack |
|---|---|---|
| Task Scheduler Studio | Windows app | Launched July 2026; C#, WinUI 3, local MCP |
| barcodrod.io | Windows app | Free, open source, actively maintained; C#, WinUI 3, .NET |
| Lightwork | Windows app | Work in progress |
| QRDecoder | Windows project | Archived |
| Marvel Character of the Day | TRMNL recipe | Public |
| Apple Note Board | TRMNL recipe | Public |
| MGGraph Intune samples | Microsoft repository | Official Microsoft repository |
Task Scheduler Studio
A Windows app for finding, creating, and running scheduled tasks. According to the site, it provides a visual task designer, a searchable task library, a quick-launch view, and a natural-language assistant for creating tasks. A local MCP server lets AI tools work with your tasks. It launched in July 2026 and is distributed through the Microsoft Store, with source linked from the page.
The site cites Microsoft Store figures checked September 12, 2026: 964 page views and 64 monthly active devices (140 sessions average) over the last 30 days. A store review quoted on the page describes it as "the perfect UI for interacting with Task Scheduling" and credits it with revealing tasks the reviewer didn't know were running.
barcodrod.io
A Windows app for reading, creating, and saving barcodes and QR codes. It reads codes from images, a camera, the clipboard, or whole folders; it can create barcodes and Wi-Fi QR codes and keep a history. The site says it began as a small Python decoder and was rebuilt as a Windows app. It is free, open source, and actively maintained, built with C#, WinUI 3, and .NET.
Store figures checked September 12, 2026: 13K installs over 12 months and 422 monthly active devices (30-day average).
Smaller and archived items
- Lightwork — a Windows app marked "work in progress."
- QRDecoder — an archived Windows project.
- TRMNL recipes — Marvel Character of the Day and Apple Note Board, both public.
- MGGraph Intune samples — an official Microsoft repository.
What kind of site this is
It is a personal portfolio, not a storefront or documentation site. Practical implications:
- No pricing signals. Nothing on the page indicates paid tiers, subscriptions, or payment platforms. barcodrod.io is explicitly described as free and open source; other projects don't state a price either way, so don't assume terms for them.
- Distribution is external. Apps point to the Microsoft Store and to source repositories; recipes point to TRMNL. The site itself is a directory, not a download host.
- Freshness varies. Some entries are actively maintained, one is work in progress, and one is archived — check the linked repository or store page for current status before relying on any project.
When to use it
- You want to know who Mark Hopper is and what he builds.
- You're looking for a Windows tool for scheduled tasks or barcode/QR work and want the source or store link.
- You want TRMNL recipes or Microsoft Graph/Intune samples he has published.
If you need support, licensing details, or a roadmap for a specific project, go to that project's own repository or store listing — the homepage only summarizes and links out.
