I'm building Oddlynew — a stack for AI-native apps. Auth, chat with durable objects, document management, all from scratch. Owning the full stack turned out to be more powerful than stitching together off-the-shelf tools, and way more fun.
The thesis is that there are a lot of industries that still run on Word templates and manual processes because nobody's built them good software yet. We're starting with Vermittelbar — CV and participant management for German Bildungsträger. Coaches got into this work to help people find jobs, not to fight with formatting. We're fixing that.
More verticals coming. The pattern is the same: find work that matters, where software can compound.
I spent a while figuring out what I actually wanted to do with my time. The best things in my life came from fixing things that weren't my job. That instinct is now pointed at industries that haven't gotten good software yet.
I'm good at building software and thinking about how complex systems fit together, and I love doing it. So that's where I'm putting my energy.
If you're working on something interesting, I'd like to hear about it.
