About

About the Maker Hi, I’m Orber, an engineering manager with over 10 years of experience building and scaling software products. I’ve spent my career working across startups and established teams, with a strong focus on product. In 2026, I’ve set myself a personal challenge: build and ship 12 apps in 12 months. Kraft is one of those projects that I've built to solve a real problem I care about, using the same level of engineering and product discipline I apply in my professional work. I believe great products come from deeply understanding users, iterating quickly, and building tools people actually enjoy using day after day. Kraft is designed with that mindset: practical, data-driven, and focused on helping people stay consistent and make real progress.

I think this might be my best product ever

I used to spend hours looking for problems to solve on my spare time and never found anything worth doing, then decided to just set a challenge to build 12 products in 2026 and that forced me to start looking at the world and my routine differently.

That's when I noticed that every morning I am am commuting to work, as soon as I wake up I check the weather at home, and at the office about 60 miles away, just to then prep for the ride and in the winter be hit by "surprise" rain in my commute, and I thought, why on earth doesn't my weather app show me the weather between point A-B or why doesn't my map show me the weather conditions etc, so I built one, and now escaping the rain became a fun new game I play every commute.

My wife was tired of me asking what was for dinner so I built her an app

My wife was tired of me asking her what we were having for dinner, especially when she had planned a meal she wished me to cook, so I built her an app that now let's us add all of our favourite recipes to, plan our weekly meals and weekly shopping all from one place and more importantly I no longer need to ask her what she wants for dinner.

Making it public after a gruesome few weeks making sure it was ready to be used by more than just the two of us, let me know if you wish to have early access.

I think I might have built the best fitness tracker on the market but no one knows

I am sure we all feel like that about our products but I genuinely think after building and using my app Kraft for the past few weeks it might be the best fitness tracker available. But I find that unless you have never used one before, users aren't willing to try?
