Today Comes to the Mac
When I launched Today on iOS last October, it was born out of that same Google Reader-shaped hole that never quite healed. A few months later, I kept finding myself reaching for it on my Mac — opening feeds on my phone while sitting in front of a perfectly good laptop. So I did something…

Draft Night: Open Source Little League Draft Software
For over a decade, I’ve been running Little League drafts out of a Google Sheet.

Visualizing Student Progress with Traveler
Teaching web development means watching students grow from their first <html> tag to building complete websites. But that journey happens commit by commit, spread across weeks of work. I wanted a way to actually see that progression—to watch a student’s project evolve from blank page to finished product. The Problem When grading student web projects, I’d often find myself…

Today 1.9: Your RSS Reader Now Plays Podcasts
When I first built Today, the goal was simple: bring back the joy of RSS. No algorithms, no tracking, just your feeds in chronological order. But RSS has always been more than articles—it’s how podcasts were born. Podcasts are just RSS feeds with audio enclosures. It’s elegant, really. The same open standard that delivers your…
