Side Projects
I learn by building things. Here's a brief history of lots of side projects - mostly failed or sunset. It's fine.

Active Projects
📠 Online Fax Service
Yea, I know. But there is a long tail for everything and believe it or not there was an underserved market for sending online faxes. Read more about this micro Saas project in a blog post about building an online fax service. Do you want to send a fax online?
Saas📱 Cloud Number
Cloud Number is a virtual phone service allowing anyone to generate a free local phone number and forward calls to their personal device.
Saas📱 Digital Fundraising
Mobile Give is a digital fundraising service allowing organizations and non profits to connect their Stripe account to raise money with text messages, qr codes, mobile forms, and robo telethons
Saas🏡 Fireplace Vent Covers
Yes this is exactly what it sounds like. We make and sell online fireplace vent covers to stop cold summer wind and warm summer breezes from entering the room - lowering heating and cooling fees. Like I said - long tail.
