About

20+ years shipping infrastructure for payments, crypto, and gambling. Now building my own stack. I run 301.st — a redirect platform on Cloudflare Workers and a suite of privacy-focused browser extensions (Redirect Inspector, FastWeb, Debloat, CookiePeek). Also make WordPress plugins for the Cloudflare ecosystem. I believe in local-first tools, zero telemetry, and clean code. Currently fundraising for a 65-foot yacht as an offshore development headquarters.

Spintax has a reputation problem, and it's mostly deserved

The word comes from 2000s SEO, where it meant swapping synonyms until a text was unrecognisable to a filter and to a human. Fair enough that was garbage.
The thing itself is just a template language: alternatives, orderings, conditionals, plurals. Same category as ICU MessageFormat, only aimed at producing many variants instead of one localized string. Cold email, product feeds, multi-locale landings.

So: is the term salvageable, or should this have been called something else from day one? I'm genuinely unsure, and I've already shipped under the name.

Spintax - The content template language, with five open engines

A template language for text that varies by construction, not by chance. Enumerations, permutations, variables, conditionals, plurals. Have an AI draft the template once, then render forever locally — no per-generation API calls. Browser playground, MCP server, five MIT engines.
