I'm building (and have been for the last few years) an open source high-performance Wordpress alternative on Elixir. It aims to achieve 1:1 feature parity. One thing that Wordpress has built up over the years that will take a little long for me is the plugins eco-system. But, other than that, I think everything else should be on par. IF you're an enterprise, you should easily see over 30-40% in server costs just by switching from Wordpress. This has been tested and proven with one of our enterprise clients who just recorded 500 million requests on a fork of the CMS.

But, I'm determined to see its completion even if there is just one user. I didn't take the Wordpress fiasco and how they handled it, lightly at all and it only fueled my motivation even more. ETA is by end of this year right on time for Christmas.

If you'd like to read more, here's an article about my CMS: https://medium.com/creativefoundry/what-i-learned-as-an-arti...

If you'd like to get Beta access, my email is listed in my profile.

I am close to releasing an iOS Camera app (yes another one lol) called Invisible Camera. It's a minimal app that works the way I like to shoot with my Fujifilm camera: focus on what I see, quickly apply a look / filter with a slider and shoot. The processing pipeline reduces the default color science applied by iOS to result in a more pleasant look.

You can join the beta https://testflight.apple.com/join/LEJk313o

When I can, I am also working on some features for https://midicircuit.com Beta here - https://testflight.apple.com/join/pNyAUEac

https://figma-to-react-native.com

Plugin to convert Figma designs to React Native code fully client-side.

And a complimentary service that syncs the code directly to your filesystem in real-time, as well as an optional MCP server to flex the generated code to your codebase to fit your framework/libraries.

Source: https://github.com/kat-tax/figma-to-react-native

(includes cool tech like lightningcss-wasm for styles conversion and esbuild-wasm for client-side previews)

Having worked on various products and startups before, I want to make it easier for solo-founders and small teams to understand website traffic, conversions, product usage, errors their users are having and provide support to their users, without having to intergrate and maintain multiple disjointed tools.

That's why I am building Overcentric - a simple and affordable toolkit that combines web & product analytics, session replays, error reporting, chat support and help center - all in one place.

Been building it and testing with several startups and improving based on their feedback. I am also using Overcentric for Overcentric itself, so I always get ideas for improvement.

What's next: more tools that are useful for startups are on the roadmap and I am exploring how LLMs can be further utilised (apart from support, session replay summaries, aiding in writing help center articles) and refining pricing.

Check it out at https://overcentric.com/

Would love to connect with other SaaS founders and have Overcentric help them grow their startups.

Writing SFF novels!

I need to put it up on the ol' blog-thing, but I've signed a contract with a small press for a debut novel, which is highly exciting. That one's urban fantasy from the point of view of the wizard's magic cloak. (You better believe it has opinions.)

Meanwhile, I've been working on a novel about a group of time travelers who accidentally get stuck in the Permian, well before the dinosaurs. Surprise! There are still big animals that can eat you, they're just more weird (and not as big). The research for that one has been wild.

The ol' blog thing, where I post story-related tidbits and such: https://rznicolet.com

I've been working on this little Splitwise clone type app I've been calling Medici: https://github.com/mrkaye97/medici

Mostly to learn some Rust and because I thought most of the features of Splitwise worth paying for would be fun to build. Been loving working in Axum and getting to implement some fun database things
