Now
What I’m working on
I run Fore Studio, a small product studio I started in 2020, and build Depost AI alongside it. It began as client work; these days I only ship my own products. This page is what I am actually working on right now.
Last updated August 17, 2026
Current focus
- Depost AI is the main build right now — an agent-based content team for LinkedIn that studies what performs, writes in your voice, designs the graphics, and schedules the result. Nothing publishes until you approve it.
- Building two local-first Mac apps under Fore Studio: Flit for dictation and Rimlight for screen recording. Both will be one-time purchases, not subscriptions.
- Growing StartupBase and AcquireBase, the two web platforms that have been running for years.
- Shipping smaller tools when a daily annoyance gets loud enough — Emoji Anywhere came out of exactly that.
- Writing more about launches and the business side, less about framework tutorials.
