A LITTLE ABOUT THIS PLACE

Curiosity is a
pretty good starting point.

I'm Jody. I like spotting little problems, wondering if I can make something useful, and then disappearing down a rabbit hole until there's a working version.

This is where those experiments live. Some are practical, some are playful, and all of them started with “wouldn't it be handy if…”.

GOT AN IDEA?

Let's make
something interesting.

Have a suggestion, spotted a bug, or just want to say hello?
