I didn't build it for our most disciplined selves
I built it for our tired-after-the-project selves
aftrglo.app
🪩✨
thrilled to see the final product!
tired-after-the-project selves is too real
Building for the tired-after-the-project version of yourself is such an honest brief. Did aftrglo start as something just for you before you realized other people needed it too?

As comfortable as it is to build aftrglo.app quietly in my comfy cave, it’s time to send it out into the big world 🥲
Unfortunately, products are apparently supposed to leave the cave at some point🐣
So:
@aftrglo.app is launching this summer ✨
A very exciting decision with absolutely no pressure hehe
Excited to see!
What I Built: Briefly
I built Briefly, a web app on Bubble.io that helps freelancers handle client pitches without the headache.
Smart Drafting: It takes a messy, casual client message and turns it into a clean, structured proposal with milestones and budgets.
Easy Sharing: Instead of messing with PDFs, you just send a secure web link that clients can view instantly without making an account.
All-in-One Feedback: Clients can leave comments directly on the page, and everything is tracked in one simple dashboard.
Modern Design: I focused on a clean, dark-themed UI that feels premium and is easy to navigate.
Why I Built It
Scratching my own itch: As a freelance AR and game dev, I get a lot of casual project requests. Writing proposals from scratch for every single one eats up hours of unbillable time.
Skipping the blank page: I wanted a tool that bridges the gap between a quick, disorganized email and a confident, ready-to-send pitch.
No more lost emails: Keeping track of revision requests in long email chains is a mess. I needed a way to keep all client comments permanently attached to the actual proposal.
The Contra Challenge: I wanted to test what I could pull off with no-code tools and see how fast I could launch a real, usable product without writing traditional web code.
this is so helpful!
I built TeamPulse HR - an AI-generated employee management tool using Bubble.
Why: HR teams waste time tracking employees, tasks and reports in spreadsheets.
My app solves this by giving one dashboard to manage Employee Directory, Task Management, Departments, and Reports.
Built with: Bubble AI
Features: Dark mode, Purple-indigo branding, Key metrics dashboard, Recent activity
Target: Small to mid-size companies who need simple HR tracking
