... working on SafeJSON, a browser-based JSON toolkit for formatting, validating, diffing, decoding JWTs, querying JSONPath, and validating schemas. The hard part has not been the formatter itself. The hard part has been explaining privacy in a way that is accurate and believable. I don t want to use vague claims like 100% private or no tracking, because most modern sites still have normal analytics, payments, licensing, or extension permissions.

... recently started testing a very small Google Ads campaign for PanicMode. That also meant adding a minimal Google attribution script to the website, which honestly felt a bit ironic for a privacy-focused project. I still wanted to handle it in the most transparent way possible.
