    1. I'm not a developer. I directed an AI to build my weekly planner app solo, it's live on the App Store today
    2. I made a paid leaderboard for Steam games. The price you pay is your rank.
    3. I built an AI chat platform where you can ask literally anything no filters — no email, no logs, nothing try it !

    1. QUIT — block apps, block just the addictive feeds (Reels/Shorts/FYP), or gamble your screen time for more

    1. [Web] Just One Chess - Minimal, distraction-free chess web app with randomized master openings
    2. As a Magic the Gathering player I got tired of pricing decks across five different websites, so I created an all-in-one shopping app
    3. I’m not a developer, I kept worrying my AI-built app weren’t safe. So I built a tool that explains in simple English what’s risky and what to fix
