Pricing benchmarks. Architecture patterns. AI integration playbooks. The operational frameworks behind 89+ live products in production — written by the team running them. New essay every two weeks.

Read article →When a studio bills you for AI usage on top of build cost, they're marking up Anthropic's prices and locking you into the relationship. Here's the architectural pattern we use to keep costs transparent and ownership intact.
Read article →Most embedded AI chats are useless because they were prompt-engineered with one paragraph and shipped. Here's the architecture behind chat assistants that actually answer questions, capture leads, and respect tone.
Read article →Hosting a real website doesn't require AWS. Every site we run lives on a single Mac mini in our office, exposed to the internet via Cloudflare Tunnels. Here's how the setup works and why it's better than you'd think.
Read article →The default push notification experience is terrible — and it's why most users say no. Here's how to build push that users actually opt in to and read, with examples from the IslaTodo PWA.
