WHAT I BUILD ON MY OWN TIME · OGDEN, UTAH

Nights and
weekends.

I build software with AI, fast, then make it hold up.
Two iPhone apps, a kids’ course, two books and two open-source tools are out. Three more apps are coming soon. Every entry below says which.

REAL APP SCREENS · CAPTURED DURING DEVELOPMENT, AUG 2026

What it is

Your body changes slowly. Your scale doesn’t.

Daily scale readings jump around and hide whether you're actually losing weight. Trendline reads Apple Health and smart-scale data and shows the underlying trend instead. The iPhone app is on the App Store; the guides and free calculators are at tracktrendline.app.

FLOWSTATE OPEN SOURCE AS OF OCT 2026 /FLOWSTATE →  ·  GITHUB →

AI gets you a prototype fast. FlowState is the structure that makes that code hold up in production.

  • v2.9.0STABLE · MAINTENANCE MODE
  • $429WHAT IT SOLD FOR, BEFORE IT WENT FREE

What it is

Memory and structure for AI coding assistants.

A folder of plain markdown files that carries decisions, conventions and progress across sessions and across tools. It started as a paid product; the ideas mattered more, so it's free now.

What I'm working on

Nothing new, on purpose. It's stable and shouldn't churn under the people using it.

What's next

Maintenance only. Issues welcome on GitHub.

THE METHOD INSIDE ITWHAT FLOWSTATE ENFORCES

The loop FlowState enforces: write a spec, build fast with AI, then gate the work before it ships. Anything that fails a gate goes back to build.

GAME THE WORLD BUILDING AS OF OCT 2026

What it is

A prediction game played over real news.

Players stake on how real events will resolve, and the game pays out when reality answers. The design was closed first — 17 decisions locked — then the build started.

What I'm working on
