Pick a room.
There’s a world behind the door.
Independent software, uncommon places. Step through the door into my work, writing and the curiosity behind it.
Gig-work platform · Web platform live · Native apps in development

Minimal Chromium browser · Windows RC 1 · Other platforms in development
A little browser. A lot of web. Built on Sill’s foundation, with a distinct interface focused on minimalism, a single-tab workflow and more room for the page. Windows has reached Release Candidate 1; Android, iOS and macOS work is in development.

A browser with a direction of its own: customizable Home Port, flexible tabs, Field Notes, Journey Log and explorer tools for inspecting and capturing the web. Personality and practical tools, built into the same experience.
