I build free tools so regular people can actually enjoy their content. No VC funding. No paywalls on the basics. Just someone who learned this stuff the hard way and figured others shouldn't have to.
I'm just a regular guy. Married, mortgage, family — the whole deal. A few years back I realized I was hemorrhaging money on subscriptions and decided to figure out a better way. That rabbit hole became an obsession.
Started tinkering with IPTV and torrents around 2019, 2020. Broke a lot of things. Learned why they broke. Built replacements. Somewhere along the way I got decent at it.
I'm not a CS grad. I'm self-taught, which means I've read more Stack Overflow threads than any reasonable person should. I'm a smart guy when my brain cooperates — I deal with some medical stuff that gives me fog days, which means projects move at their own pace. I appreciate patience more than most.
What drives me is that this space is needlessly complicated for no good reason. The tools exist. The knowledge exists. It's just scattered across forums written in 2016 by people who assume you already know everything. I'm trying to fix that — one project at a time.
Most of what I build is free. The stuff that took serious time and real hosting costs might have a small access fee. Donations keep the servers on and the coffee flowing.
Most of what I build is free, and that's intentional — I think the free stuff is what makes this whole space worth anything. But I'm also not going to pretend that servers, domains, and time are costless. Some projects are big enough that they genuinely have to charge something to exist.
If a free tool has saved you money, headaches, or a midnight Google spiral — a coffee goes a long way. No pressure, no guilt trips. Just real appreciation if you're able.
