I explore ideas through written and video essays, and occasionally software.

What I'm making right now. Finished work moves down the page.
A recipe library and grocery list for iPhone with no account and no subscription. Save recipes from the web, pick this week's, and get one merged shopping list you can check off fast or send to Reminders.
OKRs inside Jira that update themselves from your Jira issues, and post progress, overdue check-in reminders and a weekly digest to the Slack or Microsoft Teams channels you choose.
A Framer plugin that copies the pages you choose to per-language paths such as /fr/pricing, as drafts, and translates their text and your CMS collections, with your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google key or a free CSV and XLIFF round trip. No Localization add-on needed.
Reorder suggestions for Shopify that count bundle and kit sales toward the components inside them, show how many kits your stock can build, and turn the suggestions into purchase orders grouped by supplier, with the full calculation behind every number.
A Gantt schedule for Jira that turns original estimates and story points into start and end dates, across projects, following your team's working hours, holidays and blocking links. Writing dates back to Jira is optional and always previewed first.
A Framer plugin that turns one selected frame into a clean React component (TSX) and a CSS module, with a report of every layer and property it couldn't convert. Everything is generated in your browser.
A Gantt chart macro for Confluence pages that saves as you work, keeps your edits when a save fails, and lets you restore any of the last 20 versions. Milestones, phases, any work week, and long timelines included.
Bulk edit Shopify prices, compare-at prices, tags, metafields and image alt text in one task, then see every change read back from your store, with an exact revert to the original values when the sale ends.
Export a Confluence page tree, or a whole space, to clean Markdown in one go — every child page, in order, with working links, local images and a report of anything that didn’t convert.
Copy a Confluence page tree into another space with its attachments, labels and order — previewed before anything is written, and never deleting a thing in the destination.
An ad-free countdown app for iPhone with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Count down to an exact date and time, in calendar days you can trust, with one big, honest number.
Market intelligence for founders. Scout reads where a market complains, on Reddit, X, YouTube and the web, ranks the problems worth solving with real quotes, and hands you a build spec and a launch plan. First scan free; plans from $29 a month.
At some point, you have to trade optionality for commitment, because choosing one future necessarily means giving up all the others. On why I have struggled to pick a direction, and the one I am picking now.
Should you love the day-to-day work, or chase the end result regardless of whether you enjoy getting there? The gym taught me that love for a process can arrive. A tool I built and then abandoned taught me that it doesn't always.
Your happiness can dramatically increase as you reduce the gap between who you are and who you perform. On learning to perform a different version of myself at ten, and how I closed the gap.
When Dolly Parton passed, what struck me wasn't how many people respected her. It was how many people seemed to genuinely love her. I never met her. So I went looking for what the research says about how that happens.
I started seven YouTube channels that went nowhere. The eighth one got monetized by video eleven, and the reason had almost nothing to do with the videos themselves. Shopping intent, searchability, and a passionate community.
There are nearly infinite lives you could live, and choosing one from the outside is like pointing at a map. The clues are in your habits and your curiosity — but you only really know by walking the terrain.
Essays, video essays, and small tools — I make everything myself and send one short email a week with the best of it. No noise.
AI writes the résumé, AI screens the résumé, and one algorithm can shut you out of an entire industry. A simple filter was given an extremely powerful solution — and nobody's measuring whether it worked.
When China shut down its AI companion apps, people grieved. The AI isn't the real problem — the shortage of places for real relationships to begin is.
In Slay the Spire, losing a run is just information — you learn something and run it again. That's the pattern of success, and it works outside the game.
Life is the greatest game we will ever play — and most people never realize they're playing one.
An AI tool for YouTube creators that writes titles and hooks through a conversation about your video, not a prompt. Free to try; Pro is $9 a month or $79 a year.
