Building the things that should already exist.

Software, design, and the seam between them. The dot follows what you read. The ball descends the landscape behind it. Watch them for a minute.

What I'm building.

Bagl, in detail

B-side

The pitch. Most investors keep notes in a Notion doc, raw data in a sheet, and PDFs in a drive. Bagl unifies them so the company you studied last quarter is the same artifact you can revisit in 30 seconds.

The hard part. Briefs that cite the document and page they came from, theses that re-score against new filings, and a memory layer that does not hallucinate.

Status. v1 live. v2 (Supabase + plugin sources) is the current build.

What I'm learning.

What's actually in it

B-side

Nine parts. The web. JS/TS/React. Backend. Databases. Auth. AI. Frontend. Shipping. Reading real apps.

33 modules on one page. Read in order, or skip to a part.

Each module ends with a prompt to check the idea actually stuck.

I keep building things, and I keep needing somewhere to point people at when they ask what I am working on. This is that place. The work I am most proud of lives behind the cards above.
