Blog

I started this blog in late 2020 and update it quite frequently. This is the place where I keep my thoughts, finished and unfinished experiments and other personal and professional things.

Content from this blog goes to other platforms as well.

MicroApps

Collection of applications that I built over time. I call them micro applications because of the low amount of time, effort and cost that went into them. Nonetheless they are useful pieces of software for some people, as I have been told.

Some notable applications are:

.gitignore Generator, QuickSurf, Options Calc

Launchpad

My latest venture, a gamified toolkit to help makers get out of creators' block and deliver the next best product.
