Everything
I’ve built.
Live products, tools for my friends and a few that went nowhere. Each one has its build log.

28 projectsFantasy Auction
Our auction league ran on an ageing third-party site, a spreadsheet and the chairman's mental arithmetic. Nobody could check a score, and nobody else could easily run a league like ours.

Screenshots don't sell software and screen recordings look cheap. A proper 15-second launch film normally means days of a motion designer's time.

TabRestrain
Tabs pile up, and nothing in Chrome stops them.

Getting a thought from my phone into the Markdown vault I use on my laptop was the slow bit. I wanted to get it down in a second and have it land as a normal note in the right folder.

Padel Video Tracker
More and more padel courts film matches from a fixed camera, but the footage just sits there as a video file.

Football Stats
Auction and draft day are full of gut calls. I knew the league inside out but had no way to say what a player was worth, what the room would pay, or how much to trust last season.

Noodla
Everything's moving so fast that we skip straight to the answer, and the messy middle where the thinking actually happens gets lost. Meanwhile boards pile up, live forever and rarely lead anywhere.

Whist Scorer
Fourteen rounds of Whist on a ski trip, and the scoring admin was ruining the game.

Halo Hair
My sister was paying for a Wix subscription for her one-to-one salon, and anyone searching for a hairdresser near Thame still found everyone else first.

Sift for Gmail
Gmail still can't sort or group what's on screen by sender.

Padel Ranker
Our padel group wanted fair matchmaking, but hand-kept rankings drift and start arguments. The social Americano nights also needed their own scoreboard, kept apart from the serious rating.

Project Roadmap
I run a lot of projects with a lot of agent sessions, and the plans were scattered across repos, branches and chats. I kept losing track of what was next and what was actually finished.

Padel Availability
Finding a court meant checking three venue booking systems, then turning that into a decision in the group chat.

TLL Awards
End-of-season awards lived in the group chat. Nominations were scattered across messages, votes were half counted and the winners never really got announced.

TLL Fines Tracker
League fines lived in a spreadsheet, and the managers just wanted to see who owed what on their phones.

Wheel of Oink
Revealing TLL fines was dull. A number appeared in a spreadsheet and that was it.

Hawkeye
A physical tactics board is quick but static. It can't show how the rest of the team should react when one player moves.

Goodbye Site
A good leaving gift takes real effort, and every send-off starts from a blank page.

Quickie
Capturing a quick thought means switching apps and finding the right file first.

Snippet Search
Saved tweets and LinkedIn posts disappear. There's no search and no easy way back to them six months later.

Scaffold
My agent stack runs across Claude, Codex, skills and LaunchAgents, with nowhere to see what's running and what's gone stale.
Read the build logAgent Stack
I use three coding agents, and each kept its own skills, instructions and habits. Teaching one meant re-teaching the others, and every new session started cold.

Remotion Studio
A screenshot and a paragraph don't explain why Whist Scorer got built at a table on a ski trip.

Fog of Discovery
A list of places you've visited doesn't show how much of the world you've actually seen.

Vegas Split
Splitwise was too much process for one Vegas trip, but Monzo Tabs didn't work for everyone in the group.

Building This Site
My projects were scattered across repos, chats and a Notion page, and I couldn't decide what my own corner of the internet should feel like.

Voice Agent
Typing to Claude is slow when you just want to ask something quickly out loud.

I wanted to see if an AI agent could rebuild an iOS gym app from screenshots.
