Built a lead gen tool for freelancers because I was tired of manually hunting clients.

Prospkt finds businesses, scores them by how much they need help (PageSpeed, site quality, missing presence), and generates outreach scripts per lead.

Wrote about the stack, the decisions, and what I'd do differently.

I went though the recordings of visitors to my website.

One thing that stood out: Many users click on the background because they think the overlay can be closed.

I've also received this feedback from 2 other people.

So I'm scrapping the landing page.

I was trying to be fancy.

That was a dumb waste of time & tokens. #buildinpublic

I've spent some time over the last couple days working on an initial onboarding flow for Take Stock. The basic idea is to highlight some features and then help the user enter their first film stock, camera, lens, and then import some photos. Currently you're just dumped into a completely empty app, which is, frankly, tedious.

I also want to add some default film stocks which can be imported.

Yeesh this one has been a bit of an ordeal. But now we have live previews of the symbols you're drawing, actually rendered as SF Symbols via Apple’s code.

This has involved hand crafting a .car file (via reverse engineering what all the bit patterns mean), saving to disk, then loading it back in with NSBundle to then hand to SwiftUI's Image. (This is probably the only bit of SwiftUI that'll be in the app!)

Today I shipped a settings slice in my senior-first health app.

Three things landed:

The default person you track now saves between sessions — previously it reset every time you opened the app.

Theme preference — System, Light, or Dark — persists per device. Each device stores its own setting, so different family members can use different themes.

Account deletion is now wired. One action removes your account cleanly.
