About

I am building MyGoodQuotes, the service that allows you to capture quotes from family and friends, all in one place. As a builder, I believe technology can be leveraged to develop digital experiences, educate and solve problems…and you can have fun doing it along the way. Since 2006, my mission has been to help people make sense of their digital work and life. The rest of my time is spent with family and friends enjoying life.

Build in Public

For those who have built projects with this concept, what did you learn from this process? I am always curious how this helps and what results you got in return.

MyGoodQuotes-New Phase

I have reached a good stopping point in my build from initial feedback. Now I need to validate this project idea further. MyGoodQuotes began as a personal project, born from a desire to preserve the unique and often hilarious sayings from my children. Maybe something simple as quotes from family and friends can help us stay connected to each other.

If you or anyone you know enjoy saving little gems of wisdom or anything quotable, check out my project at: https://mygoodquotes.com

Is It Crazy to Build a Local App in a Browser-First, AI-Driven World?

Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.

They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?

After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.
