From the workbench
Useful little things I built because I needed them. I’m sharing them because someone else might need them, too.
See the projectsOn the bench
Small tools for organizing work, gathering people, and making the internet slightly less unruly.
Ask a small group the same questions, give everyone room to think, and gather their answers in one useful place.
Participants can save drafts, review their answers, and submit when they’re ready. Creators can follow responses and read them by question or by person.
Give contributors a clear way to choose a date, understand their deadline, and submit their work without coordinating the entire thing through a heroic spreadsheet.
The first live calendar is organizing contributors for A Month Of: Mocktails, running October 1–31, 2026.
Behind the build
A personal reading and engagement dashboard for keeping newsletters, notes, and conversations from disappearing into a pile of open tabs.
Mailroom Ledger brings the things I mean to read, answer, or return to into one deliberate workflow. The video shows how the pieces fit together.
Mailroom Ledger walkthrough coming shortly
The ledger is working. The video is being persuaded to cooperate.
I build things partly for the pure joy of building. These projects give me a place to try new ideas, learn what they can do, and solve problems I actually have, especially the challenge of managing my own online life. When something becomes useful to me, I share it in case it might be useful to someone else, too.
