Built from need, refined through use.

I make software that gives ideas room to move and helps people build from them.

Projects

Products I keep running

Publishing system

Running since 2019

BLEX is a blog service I run for writing, editing, and publishing from one place, with a self-hosted option for people who want to run it themselves.

Built from use Every major change came from asking what the writing flow needed and finding the simplest way to support it.
Editor and admin The editor, admin flow, public pages, and deployment model have been rebuilt as the product grew.
Lightweight CMS Designed for people who want control over publishing without carrying a heavy content platform.

Knowledge base

10K+ Docker pulls

Ocean Brain is a self-hosted knowledge base for keeping notes and context connected over time.

Structured notes The block editor keeps notes easy to shape, while tags and properties make them easier to sort as they grow.
Rediscovery Graph views and note links help buried context surface again through the relationships between notes.
Agent context MCP support lets agents read and work with the same knowledge structure I use myself.

If you need someone who can turn a rough idea into a working product, I'd be happy to talk.
