Notes on the things I build, what I learn building them, and where I think AI is going.
I built a site where you can play chess against language models. They're much weaker than Stockfish, and they lose in ways that feel a lot like people do. I think that could make them better training partners than traditional bots.
An interactive Euler's method explorer. I built this so that I could learn more about Euler's Method.
I built an app that turns any book into an audiobook, got my first customer through SEO, and then moved on to other projects. Keeping it alive meant handing it to AI agents. ChatGPT wouldn't act, local models couldn't keep up, and Meta's new Muse agent finally did.
I built an AI presentation tool to compete with Gamma, grew it on Reddit instead of ads, and then watched Anthropic ship Claude Design. Here's how the design came together, how the marketing worked, and where I think the ceiling is.
