Building several products:

https://teamsays.com — Team-Changing Anonymous Feedback where you can set up a private channel for understanding what’s going on in your teams.

https://usemanor.com — AI concierge for real estate brokers.

https://joinsymbol.com — Manipulate text with translations, JSONs, and other revisions with AI. Provides an API for using in your apps, etc. CMS on top AI basically.

https://fullmoonchat.com – AI esoterics.

My current strategy is to go inch deep, mile wide. I don’t want all of my eggs in one basket any more. Basically doing a VC model using my portfolio of products.

Holler at me if you want to chat about these products or if you have any ideas you want to build.

I've been hacking away at my travel planner side project: https://turas.app and recently got around to building out a Chrome extension for Google Maps: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/turasapp/lpfijfdbgo...

Just returned from a trip that I planned using the extension and can't imagine planning it as fast any other way!

I'm working on https://summ.me

I recently released version 1.0 in July, which allows you to voice chat (TTS and STT) with almost any chatbot site (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude).

Next, I'm thinking of building a 3D talking avatar to make it feel like a personal companion is chatting with you.

For my startup, a way to debug code errors with LLMs: https://codecomet.io - please let us know if you're interested and we can show you a demo.

On the side (with very little spare time), a set of Scrabble-related apps: for studying, AI, and playing. (See https://github.com/domino14 for more info)

I just love code too much.

Right now I'm mostly thinking about AI. Right this minute I'm sitting in a cafe reading a book on Multi-Agent Oriented Programming with a framework called JaCaMo[1], and later tonight when I get home I'll probably spend some time getting my Fuseki[2] server loaded with some base schemas (SKOS, FOAF, etc) as I slowly start working on getting things set up to explore some ideas around integrating symbolic logic with LL…

lol'd at the 1974 AMC,

As an experienced drone pilot - if you can, DJI is unbelievable at stopping you from crashing. Start there to get the feel of it (and more importantly not get frustrated and give up)

If you want to learn more freestyle without assistance, i can't recommend enough getting a simulator on your computer and crashing a digital drone a million times first. It's much cheaper. I think there is a lot out there now but i used Liftoff for many hours before i tried to fly a proper drone

I decided to write more. Just redid my website to be more of a blog, and am committing to publishing every Friday at 9am.

Posts in draft:

- "The next evolution of my product studio"

- "With AI, data isn't evil any more"

- "The AI mullet strategy"

- "COGS analysis on AI products"

- "Two-tier tech companies"

I'm working on Devlog — https://dev.log.xyz — software that I hope will help teams work better by making it more obvious who is doing what. It should help answer questions like "what did Sarah do last week?" or "who worked on frontend performance in the last year?" It's very much in alpha-stage, more a tech demo than a product, and I'm not sure if it will actually succeed. My cofounder just bailed on me but I'm going to keep trying to make it happen. Dogfooding it has made me a better engineer — I write better and clearer PRs — and as a former Senior Engineering Manager, I know it would save me time if I were still managing a larger team. But the setup is onerous (you have to connect your Github so it can analyze your PRs) and the value prop is more vitamin than painkiller unless your team is somewhat disfunctional, and no one likes to admit their team is disfunctional.

Happy to talk more about this with anyone. If you're at all interested in "software to make your team run better" I'd really love to hear what you're having trouble with and how your team runs, maybe I can figure out a way to help you, even if it's not at all related to what I've built already.
