Read moreWebsites, apps, and a tendency to automate everything.
Hi, I’m Franz, a software developer from Austria. I build websites, web apps, and mobile apps. Whenever I have something to do, I usually wonder whether there’s an easier way to do it.
Lately, that means experimenting a lot with AI agents. I have plenty of ideas, and I’m excited about how much more I can build with their help.
Below are some things I’ve built. On the blog, I write about what worked, what got frustrating, and what I’d try next.
How I work
I usually learn new tools by building something with them. That sometimes means spending an afternoon figuring out whether I’ve made a mistake or just hit a limitation of the framework. A bit frustrating, but at least I know for next time.
At the moment, I’m particularly interested in AI agents. What work can I give them? How much can I automate? And what do I do while they’re busy? That last one sounds trivial, but I’ve caught myself just doomscrolling on X while waiting for an agent to finish.
I like trying to make things faster and easier. I also know how easy it is to spend all day improving a process and never get around to the thing it was supposed to help with. Still figuring out that balance.
What I've built
A few projects I’m currently working on or have worked on. They show the kinds of problems I enjoy solving: making information easier to find, protecting communication, and turning ideas into useful products.
