Ideas

Things I'm thinking about building. Some will happen, most won't. That's the nature of ideas.

Got a suggestion? Think one of these is dumb? Let me know below.

What I'm mulling over

Actively exploring

Apple Widgets (Mac + iOS) for your business vitals. Stripe MRR, GitHub stars, analytics, uptime—all glanceable from your home screen.

Actively exploring

Simple uptime monitoring with public status pages. No bloat, just 'is my shit up?' and a clean status.yourapp.com page.

Thinking about it

Embeddable 'What's New' button + public changelog page. Markdown entries, categories, email subscribers. Ship and tell.

Thinking about it

Simpler and cheaper than Plausible. Just pageviews, referrers, top pages. No cookies, no PII, $3/mo.

Maybe someday

Rust CLI that pulls feeds and renders beautifully in the terminal. For those of us who miss Google Reader.

"Subscription businesses need better retention tools" → The operating system for subscription revenue

"Static sites need forms, comments, and waitlists without complexity" → Powers this site

"I miss go/links from big tech" → Go links for everyone

"Mac app analytics shouldn't require selling your users' souls" → Privacy-first analytics

"I wish I had a quick way to create RAM disks on Mac" → Open source, still going

Got an idea you think I should build? Want to +1 something above? Think one of these is already solved? Let me know.
