I've been working on something over the past week, that started as job board exploration but the more I built the more I realised the valuable part wasn't the jobs, its everything that happens after you apply.
So FOUND slowly evolved into something closer to a job search operating system with:
• Application tracker
• Kanban board
• Calendar view
• Interview timeline
• Notes workspace
• Reminders & follow-ups
• Momentum tracking
Whether opportunities come from LinkedIn, referrals, recruiters, startup websites, or job boards, everything lives in one place.
Still a work in progress, but it's been a fun reminder that sometimes the best product ideas appear while you're building.
Built with Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Framer Motion, and Supabase.
Built a little Mac app called Flip, and it somehow went viral on Twitter.
The idea is pretty simple. What if every window on your Mac had a back side where you could keep notes? So I built exactly that.
Flip any window, jot something down, flip back. Your notes stay attached to that window.
No extra apps to switch between.
Built natively for macOS, completely local, and free.

Repeat client work, this time the brief was a bit more specific. Client's original site had done it's work, but his body of work has grown to an extent now that the site needed a refresh. This time the client wanted a more obvious theme, and as their books are based around a flooded world then the theme was a no brainer. Getting the precise palette for the above sea elements was difficult and we went through a good number of iterations to get it right. It's amazing how if you make the sky too deep or add too much purple then the sea with these colours starts taking on a Disney look and feel! Definitely not what was wanted.
Gently animated water to give undulating rhythm to the page without making it memory intensive or overly distracting.

Today I've launched the next evolution of my non-fiction written work. For just over a year I've been writing long-form daily articles about Technology, Governance and the Human cost of the things we build at smarterarticles.co.uk (https://smarterarticles.co.uk)
Six weeks ago I launched a podcast, taking one of my published articles, and reworking it for the podcast format, with a new episode weekly.
Today I launched the accompanying website: smarterarticles.fm (https://smarterarticles.fm)
My spec was simple:-
1. Keep it simple, and minimalistic. My articles are published on a simple site, headlines, and content, and nothing more. I wanted to keep that simplicity.
2. Clean, professional, broadsheet-style publication.
3. No admin system. The site and its content take care of itself. I publish articles on a site that has an RSS feed, and I publish a podcast that has an RSS feed, so this site consumes both and the source of truth is where the content is originally published.
4. Plain English. Clear, precise, human. Read the About page or the Privacy Policy. I'm not trying to hide behind technobabble, only clarity.
5. No Cookies. No Tracking. No Analytics. No Recommendation Engine. No Profiling. No Selling or Sharing of Personal Data, clearly stated as a deliberate decision not an oversight seeking correction.
Here are some example pages, I'd encourage you, if you so wish, to visit the site and let me know your thoughts: smarterarticles.fm (https://smarterarticles.fm)
Suds & Scruff Mobile Dog Grooming, Walthamstow, East London
Nia is made up. Her problems aren't.
She grooms dogs from a van across Walthamstow, Leyton and Chingford, and she works an area a day. Enquiries come in by DM while she's mid-groom, so she answers them at 9pm. Getting one dog booked takes about six messages. Two dogs a week don't turn up, and she's already driven there.
What I built:
Customers book themselves. Size and coat set the price and the time, and they only see days when the van is in their area.
If someone would rather message, the message gets a price, real slots and a booking link back in seconds.
The evening before, every customer gets a one-tap "still on?". Say nothing and the slot goes to the next dog on that area's waitlist. Nia gets one line she can undo.
Customers move or cancel their own bookings inside the same rules.
Nia's dashboard only lists what needs her. Everything else is logged with the minutes it saved: about five hours a week.
To see her side, click "See what Nia sees" at the top of the site. It signs you in to a demo account. Texts are simulated and every one is in the Outbox. Demo data resets every night.
