Projects

A list of things I've worked on or am actively involved with

Websites

Building websites mixes the technical and creative in a way I find relaxing. Most of these are built with Astro, Tailwind and Alpine but there are some Next.js ones in the mix too. I host them all on Vercel or Netlify and do my design in Figma.

Products

This was my first product and I started work on it during lockdown 2020. The premise was simple: build a platform that let athletes/coaches/influencers sell workout programs to their followers.

I'll write several posts about the journey over the coming weeks but the TLDR is that I learn huge amounts but made lots of blunders. We released a V1, signed up a bunch of coaches and made sales but I decided to pivot for a few reasons, the main one being app store fee split complications.

This was our pivot from Projektt. Squaddy V1 was a mobile app that allowed you to create 'squads' that you invited people to and posted workouts in. I figured that it would grow organically from people creating squads and inviting their friends. This happened and we grew to 10k users in about 6 months. We did a major V2 rebuild to allow people to record and share their own diaries ~ a la Strava.

This is live on the app stores. We're slowly improving it but are no longer doing this full time. I had to get a day job to pay the bills after my wife and I had our daughter. I use Squaddy every day and love it. It continues to steadily grow and make us okay revenue. We'll see where it goes now we've given it some room to breathe!
