In the works
A few more small tools are taking shape. One useful idea at a time.
About
I design, build, and ship every product myself - which means fewer meetings, fewer handoffs, and a much shorter distance between an idea and something you can actually use.
Some of that work ships under the Mainsail Works name. The rest is done quietly for a few clients a year who want the same care applied to their own products - a fixed-scope build, a stretch of part-time engineering, or a close read of something that already exists.
Services
A focused app or feature, scoped and shipped end to end - from the first sketch to something real in people's hands.
