Currently building Space. Previously cofounded Eden, bootstrapped to $600K ARR.
I also make videos on the Matt & Ari YouTube channel (21K subscribers) where we build things in public and share what we learn.
Most of my work lives in private repos across @eden-suite and @Matt-and-Ari. Here's what I'm working on and what I've shipped:
Eden - Your AI content strategist. $50K MRR, 25K MAU. (private)
Quackity - Full-featured Slack-style team chat. Real-time sync with InstantDB, video calls via Cloudflare RealtimeKit, React frontend, Bun/Elysia API. quackity.io
Bruce Liu - Official website for the XVIII International Chopin Piano Competition winner. Automated concert schedule via Python/Firecrawl scraping pipeline on GitHub Actions. Barba.js page transitions, parallax imagery, split-text animations.
Vanessa Yu - Portfolio for CBC Music 30 Under 30 pianist. SVG curtain transitions, custom cursor, GSAP scroll-driven reveals. Content workflow designed for a non-technical client to self-update.
Kortex - AI notetaking app for content creators. Collaborative editor, research library, AI assistant (Kai), multi-pane workspace, real-time sync, desktop + mobile apps. 100K user sign-ups. Shut down and rebuilt as Eden. (private)
