Native Apps, Built End to End

I design, build, and ship native apps — the whole arc from idea through store review, on my own. Each one is a single shared core expressed in the native idiom of every screen it reaches. The craft I care about is cross-platform parity, serverless design, and release engineering.

“I am tired of talking about the tools… What should we really be reaching for? The Ripe Environment.”

From the 2007 blog post “The Ripe Environment” — the defining educational framework at the heart of Learning is Change. Not the tools, not the technology, but the conditions that make authentic learning possible.

Currently

Building Native Apps

Four apps, each designed and shipped end to end: Archive Watch, a cinematheque for the public domain; Tidbits Trivia, Wikipedia as fact-checked trivia; Bsky Dreams, a Bluesky client built for connection; and Boba Playbook, a card-game companion. This year's work has been about bringing them to the living room and the desktop from the same shared core. See the apps →
