Many IT teams I speak with are stuck using spreadsheets to track what s actually in their stack. I recently worked with a higher ed institution and they were struggling to understand what they had. In some cases they just needed a simple list of assets with users and when things needed to retire. So, maybe the spreadsheet is good enough.

I have reached a good stopping point in my build from initial feedback. Now I need to validate this project idea further. MyGoodQuotes began as a personal project, born from a desire to preserve the unique and often hilarious sayings from my children. Maybe something simple as quotes from family and friends can help us stay connected to each other.

Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.

They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?

After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.
