Building-in-public

Good enough is not a low bar. It is a precise bar. The threshold moves based on what you are trying to learn next, and getting it right is one of the harder skills in building anything.

I rebuilt rcordr with AI at the centre of the workflow, not the edges. The leverage is real, but the edge is not about tooling. It is about clarity of thought, fast iteration, and learning from others.

Building rcordr privately is joyful and restorative, but staying comfortable forever means it never gets tested. The challenge is letting reality in without losing the reason I started building in the first place.

I built rcordr as a simple personal tracking tool with no plans for it to become anything more. Over time it's earned its place in my day, and now I'm investing in it again, without forcing an answer on what it becomes.

I've just pushed the first version of Build on Record live. A simple decision log for capturing decisions as they happen and learning from what actually unfolds.
