A couple of months ago, I saw a tweet from @awilkinson: “I just found out how much we pay for DocuSign and my jaw dropped. What's the best alternative?” Me being naive, I thought “how hard could would it actually be to build a free e-sign tool?” Turns out not that hard. In about a weekend, I built a UETA and ESIGN compliant tool. And it was free. And it cost me less than $50. Unlimited free e-sign. https://useinkless…

FYI: DocuSign’s moat/USP is trust, not software. DocuSign customers buy trust.

For a cheaper alternative from a trusted company, Google Docs has the feature.

I’ve got a side project going that’s a browser extension (starting with Safari + Sign in with Apple) intended to add a comment layer to the internet as a whole. I’m calling it Chaffiti ( https://chaffiti.com ). The idea is to enable a comment section on any webpage, right as you’re browsing. Viewing a Zillow listing? See what people are excited about with the property. Wonder what people think about a tourist attract…

I remember an IE toolbar that let you chat on any website back in the late 90s/early 00s.

I'm working on a tool to track and smoothly visualize paragliding flights in 3d: https://skyviz.io.

It started as a side-project for my own needs. I wanted to share flight replays of my paragliding tracks on instagram, but there just was no tool for it, so I hacked something together. People seemed to like the resulting videos, so I figured I could build an UI for it and publish it and see what happens :)

This one's going to be out of left field, but last Thursday I launched Countdown Treasure ( https://countdowntreasure.com ) It's a real life treasure hunt in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a current total prize of $31,200+ in gold coins and a growing side pot. I modeled it off of last year's Project Skydrop ( https://projectskydrop.com ) which was in the Boston area. * Shrinking search area (today, Day 5, it will be 1…

how does it not turn into a brawl at the end o.O

I'm working on TenZorro: https://tenzorro.com — a media platform of practical case studies for content creators, developers, and marketers. The focus is on reproducible cases with step-by-step pipelines, prompts, and quality and cost metrics so you can quickly replicate results and adapt them to your tasks.

Currently:

Author profiles and case collections with tags/tools.

Prompt and workflow templates, built-in playgrounds with versioning.

Search by tasks and tools, drafts and publications.

Next on the roadmap:

Smart marketing prompt-apps for media: monetization, ratings, A/B metrics, cost/quality.

Auto-generation of wrappers for different LLM providers and presets for editorial workflows.

Forks and case collaborations, reproducibility analytics.

Working on Floyd (https://floyd.run) — an AI agent/workflow runtime for bringing LLM agents to production. Still shaping the MVP and figuring out where it adds the most value. Would love feedback from anyone building or deploying agents, or working with n8n/Make.

Continuing to work on a Low Power FM community radio station for the East San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. We have started promoting and putting on local events and are trying to fund raise to build out the station. Raising money is hard! We did a big show in Burbank where several hundred people showed up but we only netted $800 after expenses. :( We were featured on our local NPR syndicate which is neat: https://…

Funny, I was just wondering today whether starting a new radio station could be fun. This is great to see. Good luck!

I'm building a pen plotter machine that is purpose built for multi-color artwork. So far I have a duet mainboard wired up to motors and a commercial gantry set (openbuilds). I've figured out how to wire up a servo control board to a GPIO pin, and the gcode necessary run the servo up and down. I'm designing and 3d printing parts for the pen gantry, I have a nice rail / slider setup using linear bearings. I'm almost do…
