Building tiny tools that stick
August 6, 20244 min readProcess
Notes from a week of shipping small utilities that quietly improve daily workflows.
The best tools do one thing and do it well. This week I shipped a handful of tiny helpers and learned more from them than from any grand project.
Why small wins matter
Small tools remove friction. They turn a mental chore into a single click or a short command.
My current defaults
- Prefer clarity over cleverness.
- Ship before the polish loop.
- Keep a text file of ideas.
That is the rhythm I am chasing.
