Notes from the gap
between what exists
and what people
need
I'm George. I build small tools that fill gaps I keep running into, and every one of them gets a post here: why it exists, what went wrong, what I hoped for.

- 01 Hello, world. Again.Why a support person with a day job keeps building tools, and why each one now gets a story.
- 02 FixPin: for everyone who has ever said \"the blue one\"A free app and browser extension that let you point at the broken thing instead of describing it. Born as a feature, renamed after an awkward discovery, and powered by a flashlight.
- 03 Expenity: the money app Olga asked for (and then it got out of hand)It began with one request from my wife, Olga: an easy way to track expenses. Split expenses, partial reimbursements, animated guides and a daily spending number later, here we are.
- 04 SheetPilot: your spreadsheet, but it talks backMost teams keep what matters in spreadsheets, and then only store it. SheetPilot reads the sheet and tells you what stands out. Nothing leaves your browser.
- 05 Mission Control: counting visits without selling anyone outI wanted to know if anyone visits my sites. Without cookies, ads or a spyware dashboard. So I built a very private, very boring one.
- 06 Mitos Checklist: Greek bureaucracy, tick by tickStarting a business in Greece means a pile of procedures. The data exists. I turned it into checklists you can actually follow.

Every project I build fills a gap: something from my own experience, or something I just love. When a project ships, it gets at least one post here, written like I'd explain it to a friend over coffee. Less launch announcement, more "so here's what happened".
