Engineering insights, product decisions, and the craft behind building quiet apps for a thoughtful life.
The story behind Zovia Snapshot: why a small studio packaged its real Flutter and Parse stack into a product, the one decision that shaped everything (what to ship as source versus what to let Claude build), and who it is honestly not for.
Running out of tokens is almost never a plan-size problem. It is a waste problem, and the biggest source of waste is rework. Here is the framework we use to ship more per token, and the principles you can apply to any agentic coding tool.
How we shipped a teen financial-literacy platform across iOS, Android, and web in three weeks for our first agency client, leaning on the same Flutter + Parse stack we use for our own apps.
We pulled email, Apple Sign In, and Google Sign In off the welcome screen and replaced all three with one tap into a real account, anchored by a passkey. Here is what we built and how to build it yourself.
A blueprint for building cross-app session sharing across multiple Flutter apps, where logging into one app instantly authenticates every other app on the device, using shared keychain on iOS and ContentProvider fan-out on Android.
A blueprint for building an intelligent receipt scanning pipeline, from raw OCR text to structured products with price history, store-specific identities, and a matching system that learns from every scan.
A blueprint for building a schema validator that statically analyzes cloud functions against your database schema, catching typos, missing fields, and pointer bugs before they reach production.
