Small bets.
I build small products on the side, mostly to scratch my own itch and sometimes to test an idea from the writing. None of these are venture-scale plays. They're useful tools that pay for their own hosting and teach me something in the process.
Lodd
ActiveWeb analytics built for AI agents, not dashboards. MCP tools and APIs let your agent query traffic, funnels, and conversions directly, then act on what it finds.
lodd.dev
StackCLI
ActiveSchedule and post Substack Notes from the terminal. Built because I was spending too much time in the Substack UI for something that should be a one-liner.
stackcli.dev
CueMate
ActiveTeleprompter overlay for video recording. Sits on top of any app, scrolls at your pace. Started as a script, turned into a product.
cuemate.app
AssetJay
ActiveAsset management for small teams. Track what you own, where it is, who has it. The kind of thing that lives in a spreadsheet until it doesn't.
