The Future is Bespoke, Personalized Software

Every app I use is about 70% right. The last 30% never ships because the addressable market for it is one person -- me. So I built seven apps that are 100% right for one person, and I think that whole category of software is about to get eaten.

Open source · MCP server

cc-dash

A dashboard and Model Context Protocol server for a project portfolio whose entire state lives in markdown files. Twenty-five zod-typed MCP tools let Claude Code read roadmaps, advance sessions, and work QA queues without anyone opening the UI. No database: the files are the source of truth, and git is the audit log.
