Problem solver • Hacker • Builder shipping fast in public

I'm obsessed with building AI tools that feel native — fast, private, and deeply integrated into how people actually work. Currently focused on local models, agentic experiences, and removing every bit of friction between ideas and execution.

A clean, native macOS app (macOS 15+) for chatting with Grok in the context of your real projects and folders. Formerly AskHere.

Just shipped (last 4 days):

• Full support for any local models (LM Studio, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint)
• Fully offline + Privacy Mode
• Works perfectly on a plane ✈️
• 20+ versions released while building in public — alpha → feedback → ship, repeat

A free, open-source Chromium browser with Grok built into every tab.

Powerful agentic side panel that can organize tabs, run scheduled/background tasks, summarize pages, and even build & iterate on apps live. MCP-ready for external agents (Grok, Claude, Cursor, etc.). Cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux).

Browser-based floor plan tool for designing homes in 2D & 3D with first-person walkthroughs, AI-assisted design, and photorealistic renders. See it, walk it, share it — instantly.

...plus ~20 other experiments running in parallel because building is fun.

In just the last week:

• Grew to 10,500+ followers on X
• Shipped 20+ releases of XNative
• Received 745+ comments, 1K reposts, and 2K bookmarks on updates
• Elon Musk retweeted my posts multiple times recently — one reached over 80 million views
• An incredibly supportive community of builders giving real feedback and good vibes

This is how I build: ship early and often, listen hard, and improve in public. Grateful for every single person who's been part of this journey 🙏
