For the love of the game

i do shit i wanna do and publish it for free. that's it. i really miss when the web wasn't just a big ugly shopping mall. hope what i make is useful to you.

.01

chaos & noise

that's all there is out there. that's all they want us to consume.

another social media platform, another "innovation" to distract us.

another platform to monetize our attention and time.

i don't even want to bring people together, i just want to build for building's sake.

.02

find some joy

what do you want to build? what brings YOU joy?

ever see a sunset and just think "i wanna capture that"?

fix a personal pain point or build a fun tamagotchi that looks like your dog.

software development has never been as accessible and democratized as it is today.

that's what we're here for.

.03

now do it

build something just for you. share it with the world if you want, but don't worry about the algorithm or the ads or the engagement.

i'm begging you to not put ads, no in app purchases, no tracking, no analytics.

i know your time isn't free, but

you'd be surpised at the fulfillment you can get from building something just for yourself and keeping it opensourced.

Not everything needs to become a platform.

some things should stay personal, legible, and open. software can be weird, specific, and useful without turning into a pitch deck.
