About

After a few years in the corporate tech grind, I decided to go rogue and build my own tiny internet products. Right now, I'm fully in the "ship fast, break things, fix them at 2 AM" phase of my life. I love the messy reality of bootstrapping, from designing the UI to handling customer support myself. Total sucker for micro-SaaS ideas, minimalist productivity apps, and tools that automate the boring stuff. If you’ve built something that saves a solo founder an hour of manual labor, you automatically get my upvote.

When should a startup say no to its biggest customer?

A customer offers to pay for a feature. The money would help, but the feature only fits their workflow.

Saying yes could fund the next few months. It could also leave you maintaining a second product inside the first one.

Are clicks still the best way to measure search success?

68% of US Google searches in early 2026 ended without a click. For every 1,000 searches, only 276 clicks reached the open web.

But fewer clicks don't necessarily mean fewer opportunities for brands to get discovered.
