After surviving multiple rounds of layoffs, I decided to quit and not wait for the final big one. (happened a few months later) That was ~7 months ago. I’ve done ZERO leetcode practice as I’ve been too busy shipping for my users and customers.

Here is what has been keeping me busy.

I built and shipped a Next.js / React app for artists to maintain artist profiles and submit art to my art newsletter. Using MySQL, Prima, TypeScript, Tailwind, and React. I finally sent my 2,500,000th email/piece of art.

Onboarded 100+ artists.

Landed one big customer (name you’ve probably heard of)

Building the AI version of the newsletter. Using Go Hugo, tailwind, lots of cool vanilla JavaScript animations, tailwind.css.

I’m starting to build my most ambitious project yet—a tool to fix inboxes for Gmail and Fastmail users. I built a slick landing page. Plus, enough extension code to show a demo of how it will work and what is in progress. Using vanilla class-based TypeScript, some React, tailwind.css, and my own fork of gmail.js.
