I build the thing you've been faking with a spreadsheet.
Apps, dashboards, and small stubborn tools, built around one person's workflow instead of everybody's. Usually cheaper to run than the thing they replace.
Every tool on this page started as a problem I had running my own business. I built each one for myself first, which is why none of them have features nobody asked for.
A dashboard that shows your actual numbers
Income, expenses, bookings, content... one place, instead of six spreadsheets and a vague sense of dread.
A tool that does the boring part
Descriptions, captions, the same three sentences retyped for the fifth platform. That's the part I take.
Something interactive for your audience
Wheels, dice, prize drops... anything that keeps people watching past minute four.
Something nobody sells yet
If you've been duct-taping three apps together to do one job, that isn't a workflow. That's a tool nobody has built yet.
Some of these cost a few dollars a month to run. Some cost nothing at all. Most cost less than the subscription they replace.
Income Tracker
Income and expenses in one place, so you see what you actually made... not what you think you made. Replaced a $19/month subscription with something that costs nothing.
QuickWheel
Customizable prize wheel for streamers. Viewers spin, creators control the odds. Live in production.
Inkverse
Fiction writing workspace for characters, universes, and stories. Local-first, no account needed.
Win the Bottle
A spin-the-bottle prize game for live streams. Viewers watch it land, you set the odds behind the scenes.
Content Description Writer
Single-file browser tool that generates platform-specific descriptions using AI. Feedback system improves over time, no backend to pay for.
therileydaniels.com
A personal brand landing page, designed and built from scratch. Custom palette, illustrations, and layout... no template.
We get it right first
Questions before code. We agree on what it does, what it deliberately doesn't do, and what it costs, before I build anything.
You see every step
Work happens in phases and you look at each one before I move on. Nobody vanishes for three weeks and comes back with a surprise.
Nothing changes without you
If I spot a better way halfway through, I stop and ask. You never get clever features you didn't want.
You own everything
Code, accounts, docs... all of it yours. Another developer could pick it up tomorrow. No lock-in, ever.
Tell me what's annoying you.
You don't need a spec. You don't even need a plan. Describe the thing you do every week that you hate doing. I'll tell you whether it's buildable, roughly what it'd take, and if it isn't worth building I'll tell you that too. No pitch, no pressure.
