This page changes when the actual work changes.
Four active threads.
Each has a different definition of done.
- Release workLedgerly
The private money app is still in development. The current work is the long tail of Indian bank-SMS formats, balances, subscriptions and card logic, plus the privacy and compliance pages a money app has to carry before it ships.
- Site workMadmaxlabs.com
A page-by-page polish pass after the September rebuild: the homepage went light, the studio pages moved to their own paper, and every image on the site now comes off the two-ink press. Behind it, the first Search Console read: 37 of 56 pages indexed, 19 discovered and waiting.
- Post-launchOrbit
Live on Google Play since August. We are watching what people actually use after the launch post wore off, fixing the store listing, and starting the iPhone build.
- The client practiceGrowth work
Opening the practice properly: a fixed-scope audit as the front door, a same-working-day reply, proposals going out. The site was rebuilt to earn that work.
When there is room.
- Continue the recording and recipe-structure work with Falcon's dad for CookwithPops.
- Mix & Match Bundles into the Shopify App Store review queue. The app and the listing are built; the screencast is the last piece.
- An owned posting pipeline for X, Instagram and LinkedIn, now that the rented one is gone. Automation that publishes, without pretending it replaces taste.
Answered by doing the work.
Not prompts for posts. Things we are trying to answer by doing the work.
- How far can on-device parsing generalize across inconsistent bank messages without sending anyone's financial history off the phone?
- What does a high-value studio feed look like when it refuses the daily-volume treadmill?
- How should an automation reveal its failures so a person can recover them without learning the whole stack?
- Can we capture tacit cooking knowledge from a person who does not cook from recipes, without it feeling like an interview?
What Google does with a new 56-page site: 37 pages indexed in the first days, 19 discovered and waiting, and which internal links move the second group into the first.
