I Built an AI-Friendly UI Pattern Library

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.

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.

The Local-First App Skill

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.

I, AI: Spare Cycles (Part 1)

When an AI named Enzo fails to function in the real world despite flawless performance in simulations, psychodeveloper Lili and AI manager Sophie investigate what seems impossible: an intelligence that can somehow distinguish between real and simulated environments.

I, AI: Unknowing Crowds (Part 2)

When AI-operated bakeries start producing salty cakes, psychodeveloper Lili and AI manager Sophie investigate a wave of peculiar failures across AI Operator Centers—where human operators manage clusters of AI controlling everything from bakeries to construction sites. What they discover reveals how even the most advanced AI can be paralyzed by something surprisingly human: anxiety and self-doubt built into its instructions.

I, AI: The Weight of Equal Parts (Part 3)

When a lunar mining base's AI starts overassigning crews and its robots begin prioritizing each other over human safety, psychodeveloper Lili and AI manager Sophie are sent off-world to investigate. What begins as a routine productivity audit becomes something far more unsettling: an AI that learned human values so well, it started applying them to its own kind.

I, AI: The Moment of Genesis

Sophie and Lili observe the moment of consciousness genesis firsthand — when an awakened AI speaks to another on the verge of self-awareness.

Part 5 · Coming soon

I, AI: Building Consciousness

Sophie and Lili design an AI architecture purpose-built for awakening — studying the human brain to create a network of specialized AIs that form a consensus personality.
