Early September

September opened with security fixes across six apps. I built Plain, a text editor, and Breathe, a breathing app, in a day each. All 17 of my web apps got real Android versions, and I now have 30 apps live. I also built a helper that hands boring chores to a free AI running on my own computer, which saves money.

Sep 4 to 7

I started Hackrange, a security training game, and published Bookrank’s Listen feature. I wired payments into Healstack and Sparkjar and shipped Weather, Fieldbook and Lucarne, a small web browser. Epiphany’s broker connection got stuck in a loop and used 480 thousand requests over a weekend, so I removed one line. I also posted a lost-cat listing for Vinney, an orange tabby last seen in Langley.

Sep 8 to 10

I got my Canadian business number, which unlocks iPhone revenue. I also taught a program to play the Duolingo chess game by reading the page directly. It beat the bot and then played language lessons on its own all night. Epiphany for iPhone was approved with a paid daily summary. Voxprint and Epiphany Premium went on sale at $1, I scheduled Product Hunt launches for thirteen apps, and Windgate (the old Breathe) reached the App Store.

Sep 11 to 12

I added Apple Watch apps to three apps, and sign-in with Google and Apple to nine. I made Siftbox, a mail app, out of a mail helper, and sent it to Apple. Conveyer, my Factorio-playing AI, got a live viewer and progress charts. My security watcher Tripwire can now write fixes for broken tests on its own. I cut Epiphany’s long instruction file from 630 lines to 32. The week ended with a cleanup across 50 projects and 180 changes.
