sup nerds 👋
Software solopreneur. I run Good Robot Co and ship small products on the side.
currently shipping noyu
Nowheads-down on client work, growing ClusterDesk and noyu by showing up daily.
I'm Ben. I run Good Robot Co, a one-person shop that builds automation for local service businesses. Think faster replies to new leads, follow-ups that happen on their own, and a steadier stream of reviews.
On the side I build small products and share the work as I go. This page is where I keep them and the numbers behind them. No team, no funding, just me and code.
I also help vibe coders turn prototypes into shipped products. Email me

🚀 TinyShip You don't have a building problem. You have a shipping problem. Last week: 353 commits, 1 launch. So I built a wall that counts launches, not commits, and dares me to keep it alive. Ship tiny. Ship ugly. Ship today.
A real product someday. For now, it's just mine.
