Working on https://housecat.com, AI productivity tools for non technical teams.

The ideas I’m thinking about is: what’s old is new.

We’re seeing a massive influx of people writing software and administering servers for the first time ever. But so many people are jumping (or being pushed) into the deep end without basic training.

Lots of opportunities for us older admin folks to build, teach and help all the new folks.

I got addicted to scrolling content on my phone, so I built a digital pet whose growth and well-being depends on you staying off your phone! This way, if I spend all night scrolling the browser, my pet will get depression.

Unlike similar apps such as Focus Friend or Forest, which use active timers to police screen time, my app is an inversion that works like an idle game; All screen time is tracked all day, (with double the punishments at night), and upon check-in, you get feedback on your device usage.

I have started working on a standalone, self-hosted, service for an album club (music, that is).

Members takes turn pitching one album per week. Support comments and a handful of emoji-based reactions.

Integration with Spotify for easy pitching and playing (by links only, users are not required to have a Spotify account).

Plan is to keep the clubs fairly small and invite only.

Building it in Gleam which is a lot of fun!
