About

I’m building tools around structured UI documents, Markdown-native interfaces, and AI-assisted product creation. My current focus is XCON Viewer — a way to write UI blocks inside Markdown and preview them as real interface-like screens. I’m interested in making UI ideas easier to write, review, share, and version before they become full applications. I care about developer tools, AI workflows, deterministic rendering, safer UI formats, and the future of human-readable software interfaces.

What should Markdown-native UI be useful for first?

We re launching XCON Viewer to explore a simple idea:

Markdown is great for writing specs, docs, product notes, and technical explanations but it is still limited when you want to describe an actual interface.

With XCON Viewer, we re trying to make it possible to write structured UI blocks inside Markdown and preview them visually. Things like cards, charts, grids, dashboards, reports, and screen concepts can live directly next to the text that explains them.

The part we re thinking about most is where this should be useful first.
