I build small, hand made software for people who were told to just use a spreadsheet. I have six kids, a studio, a monthly gathering, and a truly unreasonable number of open tabs.
I spent years watching good businesses get handed the same website. A template, a monthly fee, and a login nobody ever used again. Meanwhile the actual work, the schedule that changes weekly, the menu on a whiteboard, the volunteer list buried in an inbox, stayed exactly where it was.
So I started building the other thing: one page, made for one business, holding the stuff they actually touch every day. Nobody gave me permission to start a company. I just kept building until it was one.
Some are a business. Some started as a habit that got out of hand. All of them are things I show up for.
Scraps from the week. What I built, what broke, what I am still thinking about. Written by hand, more or less.
One key, then this device stays signed in for 30 days. Only you can write here.
Only add words somebody actually said and agreed to. Anything you leave out shows as an honest placeholder instead.
I talk about building small things well, starting a company without a runway, and using AI without giving away the part that makes the work good.
Tell me about the room and I will tell you honestly whether I am right for it.
What I built, what broke, what I charged and whether that was a mistake. Plus mood boards, things I am buying, and whatever I am yelling about in group chats. A couple times a month, never more.
A project, a question, a coffee, a collaboration, a favor for your kid's team. This lands in my inbox and I answer all of it myself.
No wrong reason to use this.
