Highlights tour

Three stops, hand-picked. If you only have ten minutes, start here.

  1. The Future is Bespoke, Personalized Software

    Stop 1 · AI Workflows · July 9, 2026

    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.

  2. The Local-First App Skill

    Stop 2 · AI Development · July 9, 2026

    A reusable blueprint that tells Claude Code how to build a single-user app -- Next.js, node:sqlite, a pure logic core -- so every app I build comes out the same shape.

  3. I Built an AI-Friendly UI Pattern Library

    Stop 3 · AI · August 14, 2026

    A UI pattern library where every pattern ships the prompt that rebuilds it, so a coding agent can put it in your codebase instead of you copying CSS.
