About

Hi, I’m Gavin, the founder of Rivra. With 19+ years as a Solutions Architect in the SF Bay Area’s Big Tech ecosystem, I’ve spent my career building secure, complex systems. I founded Rivra Dev to bring Enterprise-grade engineering to simple tools. I believe even a $3/mo app deserves top-tier data integrity and security. My philosophy is to eliminate boring work, not to train users on the 'right way' to do it manually. Every app we provide is designed to remove tedious tasks while maximizing accuracy and convenience. Building Recite — bookkeeping removed for solo founders. No bloat. No compromise on security. Just precision-engineered efficiency for freelancers and indie hackers.

Software should know when a problem is no longer a problem 👀

One thing that quietly hurts trust in developer tools:

stale signals.

Emails do work!

When I launched @Bitgrain , quite a lot of users signed up and created accounts. But during launch there were lots of bugs and missing features, hence most users dropped off. I kept improving the product but didn't see the old signed up users coming back (very few did).
I thought of cold mailing the users for feedback, honestly didn't expect people to even open the mail, but surprisingly around 40-45% responded to the feedback mail! (for emails that's some crazy numbers I believe )
I found out that most people thought that the product won't have any more updates hence they never came back. After seeing the current product at https://bitgrain.app old users started to use it again!
