I want to leave behind software that remains useful even when I'm no longer here.

For that, my philosophy is:

• Owned: always let users retain access to what they bought.
• Stable: favor stable releases over constant changes.
• Deliberate: only include what proves to be valuable.
• Focused: serve one specific audience exceptionally well.
• Extensible: provide simple primitives users can build upon.
• Honest: offer a fair one-time purchase with free updates.
• Faithful: remain true to the original purpose.
• Hackable: open-source reusable foundations.
• Iterative: prefer to evolve through frequent, small, focused updates.
• Independent: avoid dependencies on external resources.
• Cumulative: build something today that will help you tomorrow.
• Beloved: design memorable user experiences.

You can find my current work on GitLab and the App Store. Legacy projects can be found on GitHub.
