About

Single parent, head of web development, founder. I want to live in a world where merit beats presentation and everyone gets to be their awesome selves. I don't mind being busy or doing the impossible, as long as it's getting me closer to that dream.

Post your product in one sentence — I’ll give blunt clarity feedback

Building something useful is hard. Explaining it clearly can be just as hard.

I ve noticed a lot of products seem solid, but the value isn t immediately obvious from the first sentence, screenshot, or landing page.

The biggest lie in product building: "ship fast, learn later"

Everyone tells you to ship fast. Move fast and break things. Get to market before someone else does.

I believed this for a long time. When we were building Murror, speed was everything. We pushed features weekly, sometimes daily. We celebrated every deploy like a small victory.

I'm good at building. Marketing is a different story.

Hey I'm James, a software developer from Australia with 20+ years building things professionally.

Most of my career I've been the person behind the scenes solving hard technical problems, shipping reliable software, making other people's ideas work. Unravl is the first thing I've built entirely for myself, and now I'm figuring out the part they don't teach developers: how to actually get it in front of people who might find it useful.

No funding. No growth team. No playbook. Just me, the product, and a lot of learning in public.

If you've been down this road builder trying to find an audience I'd genuinely love to hear what worked for you. And if Unravl sounds like something you'd use, even better.
