A 10‑day experiment produces 10 tiny programs and 10 essays, trading polish for present‑moment focus; success measures ignore UI or clean code and target whether building evokes a meditative, emotional state. Work includes a pet‑note app that users screenshot and share, a day‑five meditation app with daily affirmations (most used), and a skill‑trading proof of concept that grows into a community ecosystem. Tech stack is React and Firebase (started in vanilla JS/HTML/CSS, deployed via Versailles), and several apps continue in production.
