What it does
Build Engine is a specialized Shipping OS for founders. Track projects, experiments, and launches in one dashboard—no generic tools, no chaos, just faster shipping and smarter growth.
Unlock 50 handpicked books with a reading tracker and priority filter. Designed for software engineers and SaaS founders to read smarter, avoid mistakes, and grow faster.
Ideas rot while competitors ship. Tasks slip, experiments fail, revenue dies. Chaos kills confidence. Runway shrinks. Investors notice. Fundraising stalls. I’ve missed launches too. I built this to stop wasting months. Trusted by founders to save time and revenue. We turn scattered tasks into predictable, on-time launches. Stay on schedule, hit revenue targets, and impress investors. Validate faster, retain more customers, and turn experiments into paying users.

The machines run BuildKit, the build engine that powers Docker, so generally anything you can `docker build`, you can also `depot build`. Most people use Depot in CI,…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
