I've been sending a lot of outreach messages lately as part of my job search, and pretty quickly ran into the same wall every time.
Writing a good, personalized message was never the problem. The problem was everything before it: finding the right contact, pulling context on the role or company, checking if I'd already reached out, then logging it somewhere so I wouldn't lose track.
There was a lot of repetitive work standing between me and writing the message itself.
So I started building a small dashboard (React, Vite, deployed on Vercel) to handle the deterministic stuff. It looks up contacts, pulls the context I need, and tracks everything in Notion automatically. I pretty much just do the writing.
Still early and still just for me, but it's already saved a chunk of time I used to burn on busywork instead of actually reaching out to people.

Amazing work!
Just wrapped up a 3-hour meeting with a lead who is now officially a client 😊
I went into the meeting feeling pretty nervous. The project had great potential, and I was slightly concerned that budget might become a sticking point.
But the conversation went better than I could have expected. They were really impressed with the project overview, architecture, and the level of attention to detail we brought to the table. The best part? They didn’t even try to negotiate the price.
Such a great reminder that when clients clearly see the thought, planning, and value behind the work, the conversation becomes much less about cost.
Really excited to kick things off next week! 🚀
I think the project overview did the pricing work before the number came up. Showing the hard decisions early ties the fee to fewer surprises instead of a pile of hours.
