My journey began with a simple, shared frustration: modern software has become too bloated, too slow, and too invasive. Applications that should be simple are now weighed down by unnecessary features, constant background processes, and business models that don't put the user first.

So, I decided to build something different with three core principles:

1. Performance by Default: Software should be fast. Instant-on, responsive, and light on system resources. We achieve this by choosing modern, efficient technologies like Rust and Tauri, ensuring our applications respect your hardware.

2. Simplicity in Design: An intuitive user interface is paramount. Hence the focus on clean, uncluttered design that makes our software a pleasure to use, stripping away the noise to focus on the essential tasks you need to accomplish.

3. Privacy as a Foundation: Your data is yours. My commitment to offline-first development means my applications process your information on your machine, not in the cloud. I build software that you can trust, with no hidden telemetry or data harvesting.

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
