Tinder for movies and TV. Swipe on what looks good and it learns your taste, so picking something takes less time than watching it.

designing

A shared family calendar. Events, chores and lists for the whole household in one place, so nobody has to ask what's happening Saturday.

it's complicated

Pace

An ETA app that learns how you actually drive, not how the speed limit says you should.

waiting on Yahoo. still.

Fantasy league sync

All my fantasy league data in one place, as soon as Yahoo approves my API access. Any day now.

Say hi. He won't go first.

Messy Shopify, Amazon or ERP data that never agrees? An AI agent idea that should actually do work? He's quiet, but he's very good at email.
