LinesFly and HuddlePops are working SaaS products. They are still prototypes, still changing, and still teaching me what one person can build when AI levels the playing field.
01 ON THE WORKBENCH
So I started building.
I tested a few smaller things to see what AI could do. Then I stopped practicing and started working on real problems I wanted to solve. I’m not an expert. I’m still figuring out how all of this works.
01 LIVE + WORKING
LinesFly.com
A live queue for walk-in businesses. Customers scan a QR code, join the line, see where they stand, and get called when it’s their turn. Staff get one clear view of who’s next.
THE OLD WAYA clipboard, repeated questions, and a lot of guessing.
THE THING I BUILTA real-time waitlist that works on the phones people already have.
ROUGH ESTIMATE · CUSTOM BUILD WITHOUT AI$180,000–$350,000AI-generated comparison based on the current scope, not a contractor quote.
A simple way to make meetings interactive. Add a poll, word bank, feedback question, or icebreaker; share one QR code; and let everyone answer from their phone.
THE OLD WAYAsk the room a question and hear from the same two people, or nobody.
THE THING I BUILTOne interactive moment that gets every voice into the conversation.

These things actually work. They’re software. I made them.
02 THE WORK IS STILL HAPPENING
These are the beginning, not the finished story.
LinesFly and HuddlePops work, but they’re still prototypes. I’m iterating, finding bugs, and figuring out what happens when something breaks.
I want to share that part too, not just the cleaned-up version at the end.
01 · BUILD
Keep making the thing better.
Work through the bugs, question the choices, and keep closing the gap between the idea and the product.
02 · SHARE
Document what actually happens.
The mistakes, costs, fixes, tools, and small wins while they’re happening.
03 · SEE
Eventually, put it in front of people.
Promote it, listen, and find out whether anyone wants it. If nobody does, that’s useful information too.
The question underneath all of this:
Can one person do this?Can someone who doesn’t know how to code build and run a small software business today?Maybe it makes $100. Maybe $1,000. Maybe it flops. I don’t know, and that’s okay.
