✦ Built, not postponed

A home for the things I finally finished building.

Hey, I'm the Gifted Procrastinator 👋 I build small apps, tools and experiments — mostly at night, always out of curiosity. Here I share every project openly: what worked, what didn't, and how you can build it yourself.

FocusRoom: How I built an app to beat my own procrastination.

30 days, one bug that nearly defeated me, and a feature that changed everything. The honest story behind my most-used tool — including every point where I wanted to give up.

Hey, I'm
The Procrastinator

I'm a developer, tinkerer and chronic procrastinator — with the twist that things still get made in the end. By day I build products, by night small tools that make my own life easier.

This site is my open logbook: every project comes with code, decisions and the mistakes I made. No glossy demos — real builds with real quirks.

Frequently asked

Before you dive in.

Is the code for the projects freely available? +

Yes. Almost every project is open source and linked on GitHub. You're free to fork, learn and remix it — a link back is appreciated but not required.

Can I submit my own project? +

Right now I mostly share my own builds. If you've made something based on my tools, drop me a line — I'm happy to feature community projects in the Build Notes.

How often do new projects go up? +

On average one new build per week — sometimes a bigger tool, sometimes a weekend experiment. All updates land in the newsletter first.

What does all this cost? +

Nothing. The tools are free to use, the newsletter is free, and the case studies are openly here. If a project ever gets a Pro version, I'll say so transparently.

What is this site built with? +

Plain HTML & CSS on top of my own little design system — the same building blocks I use to build the projects.
