Hey — it's Ian

I build apps for fun.
Tell me what you wish existed — and I might just build it for you.

I'm deep into making apps with AI, and honestly I'm a little addicted. I'd rather build something you'd actually use than keep guessing. So I'd love to hear what kind of website, app, or service would unlock something for you.

Free. For fun. I read every single one — no promises.

Check out my apps.

A bunch of things I've built. They're all live — go poke around and click through any of them.

Here's the thing — building isn't the hard part anymore. AI made that cheap. The hard part is knowing what's actually worth building.

That's the one thing I can't do alone — and exactly where you come in.

So… what do you wish existed?

A tiny tool, an app for your hobby or side hustle, or something that 'd kill the most annoying part of your week. Big or dumb — doesn't matter. Tell me.

How often does this come up?

I build these for fun + to learn — no promises, but I read every one.

Or just grab 30 minutes.

Want to talk it through instead? Pick a time — I'd genuinely love to hear what you're thinking.
