I'm building 10 apps in 2026, in public. No team. No funding. Just shipping small software and digital products while sharing the real numbers, the wins, and what breaks. Here is what I am building and how I work.

Plot twist: AI might make native mobile development cheaper than “write once, run everywhere.” Shopify is moving back from React Native to Swift and Kotlin because coding agents changed the math. That is a much bigger story than another framework war. shopify.engineering/back-to-native

shopify.engineeringNative is now the future of mobile at Shopify (2026) - ShopifyCoding agents changed what it costs to build mobile apps twice. Here’s why Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin.

A clean SwiftUI build is not proof that the screen works. I am trying to separate three checks when AI coding agents help: build, interaction, and visual comparison. Passing one does not excuse skipping the other two. What usually catches the next problem for you? #SwiftUI

Working from bed today because I’m sick. The plan is not to “push through.” It is one small task, one clear stopping point, and no pretending a low-energy day should work like a normal one. Good systems should survive bad days.

I build solo with AI coding agents and a plain-text AI operating system that helps every tool work from the same context. I share the useful version: what worked, what failed, and the parts that looked much easier before I started.
