I build things and post about it.
Three apps in the works, a channel documenting the whole thing, and an agency that pays for the coffee.
Nashville, mostly. Everything below links out to the real thing.
Nashly
The Nashville hidden-gems app. Nashville has no shortage of things going on and no good way to find the interesting ones. Nashly is Nashville-only, map-first, and curated on purpose.
- 01Four post formats, from one-off events to join-me-right-now plans that expire on their own.
- 02Geofenced check-in. Ratings come only from people who were actually there.
- 03A social core: feed, follows, DMs, event chat, and recaps after the fact.
Draffle
The party game where you draft, then the whole world votes. Pick a category. Best pizza toppings, most quotable movies, anything. Take turns drafting your list so nobody can copy the good answers.
- 01Two to ten players, real-time turns, in-app chat, snake or regular draft.
- 02Public voting page that anyone can open in a browser.
- 03No accounts. You get a name and a photo and that is it.
WakeyWakey
Every morning, a stranger somewhere on Earth records your alarm. You wake up to a voice you have never heard from a place you have never been. That night, you are the stranger.
- 01Record one, earn one. The credit economy is enforced server-side.
- 02A reveal screen after every wake: who, where, what time it was for them.
- 03Built on Apple's AlarmKit with a custom native module, so it actually rings.
Sketches, not yet paintings.
Questlineworking title
A to-do app that is secretly a dungeon crawler. Projects are dungeons. Tasks are quests. Finishing the last one slays the boss. Being rebuilt from the ground up, this time for everyday life.
Paste
Paste anything in. Get a structured, cross-linked Obsidian note out. A local tool that turns transcripts and articles into a real knowledge base. Claude does the sorting, the code does the writing, and nothing ever gets truncated.
The whole thing, on camera.
I tried getting 100,000 subscribers in 30 days
I also run an agency.
Big Door Marketing. AI systems and automation for businesses that want the busywork gone and the calendar full. Not why this site exists, but part of the story.
- 01$22k+ closed for one client from a single campaign
- 027 to 10 days from kickoff to a live, booked calendar
- 03100% of every system handed to the client at the end

How the agency actually gets clients. Written down. Coming when it is ready. Follow along in the meantime.
