Ever since I’ve started building things on the web I’ve had the desire to build a software as a service product. Over the years I’ve worked with several ideas. The following are ones that I’m not too embarrassed to talk about. 😜
Download HelpScout Docs – Utility
Current status: Available/Active
Pricing: Starts at $39
I recently worked on a project where we needed to get all of KB/Documentation articles out of HelpScout’s knowledge base, so I built a tool to do that. This site/project is built around offering that as a service to folks who likewise are in a place where they need to download their documentation articles from HelpScout.

Full Year Calendar Tab – Chrome Tab Extension
Current status: Available/Active
Pricing: Free
For a number of years, I’ve wanted to have a Chrome extension that would show me a full year every time I open a new browser window or tab. I’ve often kept my calendar app open on my desktop to the full year as a reminder that time is passing, and just how quickly the years are going by. This Chrome extension came out of that desire.
The extension is very simple, it only does one thing, and currently, there are no settings for it. The only thing it does is show a full-year calendar view every time a new Chrome tab is opened.
You can add the extension to your Chrome browser here – Full Year Calendar Tab
Follow a Farm
Current status: Building
Pricing: TBD
Being part of an active farm in the produce and agritourism market I’ve noticed a lack of tools specifically built for farmers to create an online presence, easily keep details about what is in season and out of season up to date, change hours, etc. As a firm believer in “owning your own space” on the web I also want to help farmers with that.
Follow a Farm is a project that aims to mainly give farmers a simple way to get online and create a presence and following of customers. Although I’ve been thinking about this particular project for years I’ve only just broken ground on it in early 2021.
You can find the project here – Follow a Farm
GoSelva
Current status: Stagnant
Pricing: TBD
Over the years I’ve used a bunch of different project management software apps. Each one has its positives and its negatives, but none of them behave exactly like I would like them to.
GoSelva is my take on a project management app. After building it out enough to use personally I had to move back to using another app for some clients and I haven’t been back to work on GoSelva for about a half of a year.
I do want to continue building this project, but at this point it isn’t at the top of my list for projects to work on in my spare time.

OhPeso
Current status: Feature complete and open for registration.
Pricing: Free
This is very simple app that can help you track your weight loss. Build primarily as a way to explore a new technology it is also a tool that I’ve used from time to time.
Although the app is super simple, it does what I initially set out to build. You’re welcome to sign up for an account and start tracking your weight loss.
