Tiny apps and web tools for the little frictions that show up in family and student life.
Tiny Experiments
Before building a grand platform, we start with problems that actually show up at home.
Connect scattered math ideas like branches and see the next path to learn.
One map for science concepts that branch into physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science.
A 20-session, self-study roadmap for the Dental Admission Test — from the basics up.
A 20-lesson course for people who want to use Claude properly.
Turn academy homework texts into per-child reminders.
A kid's allowance ledger: record allowance and errand money, see how much you have, and spend within it.
A kid buys and sells on real prices, and writes down 'why I bought it' every single time.
Snap a textbook page, and it pulls out the words to learn — with example sentences, audio, and tests.
A playground that gathers the little web toys my kids play with into one place.
About
The name is ambitious. The things we make are still tiny.Instead of dreaming up a grand platform, we start from one real friction at our own kitchen table. The person who'll use the tool is sitting right there, so we find out the same evening whether it was built well.Making one annoying part of the day a little lighter. We believe a small, humble thing that someone actually uses beats grand ambition that never ships.
Notes
Things learned while building small, humble tools — and the stories behind them.
The first app, born from the weekly chore of copying academy homework texts into per-child reminders.
An honest account of how a part-time solo builder actually finishes small tools with Claude — what works and what doesn't.
Instead of just handing over allowance, I wanted my kids to record it, see the balance, and spend within it — so I built a double-entry ledger.
A practice ground for investing: real market prices, no real money lost, and a written 'why I bought it' required for every single order.
The story of the Math Concept Map — built on the idea that the real reason you're stuck on a problem is a missing concept somewhere before it.
Instead of copying new words out of a workbook by hand, snap one photo — and get a word bank with example sentences, audio, and tests.
Every 'can I try something like this?' turned into a little web toy — until they scattered everywhere, and I gathered them into one playground, one folder per toy.
The checks that come before putting a small family tool on the web: scope, real records, privacy, readable pages, and honest follow-through.
