Solo developer building offline-first productivity apps. Currently shipping FlowRead — a speed reading app for PDFs with no cloud, no accounts, no subscriptions. Documenting the entire journey from zero to launch. Interested in privacy-respecting tools, one-time payment models, and proving you can build and distribute solo with just AI and community.

  1. Flow Read

    I’ve built and currently maintain FlowRead, an offline-first speed reading app built with Capacitor (HTML/CSS/Vanilla JS) targeting Android. On the Android side I’ve worked with the full app lifecycle: local file import/parsing, performance tuning for rendering long documents, and integrating native capabilities via Capacitor plugins (for example filesystem storage, wake lock / keep-awake, and Preferences storage for local state). I’m actively preparing this app for release on Google Play and setting up the Play Console profile as part of that publishing process.
