I’m a solo builder starting from zero. No audience. No traction. No real plan. Just curiosity, doubts, and this tiny urge to make small useful things.

I’m figuring it out as I go. If you’re doing the same, you can sit here with me for a bit. No pressure. No pretending.

🎧 A Quiet Release

Something quiet recently went live. Not a product. Not a launch.

A piece of music I made for this journey.

Tiny Founder Anthem

A soundtrack for building in the dark, for late nights, invisible progress, and tiny steps that still count.

I didn’t release it to promote anything. I released it to mark a moment.

🚶 What I’m Building

Small tools. Tiny experiments. Little things that might help someone one day.

I’m not showing the projects until they feel ready, but I’m sharing the process, the mistakes, and the strange early days where nothing seems real yet.

Lately, something quiet that might be seen, not just used.

This isn’t a polished showcase. It’s more like a little trail I’m leaving behind.

🧵 The Journey Log

A simple timeline of the small steps I’m taking. Nothing fancy. Just the honest notes from the beginning.

Week 1: The Tiny Beginning

Nov 17 to Nov 23, 2025

This week was quiet. I launched this place with almost nothing on it. Posted a few thoughts in public. Mostly wondered if I was doing any of this right.

Still, it felt like the start of something.

I fixed things, broke things, fixed them again. Spent more time doubting than building. Pressed “publish” even though everything felt too small.

Showing up with so little was the hardest part. But saying it out loud made the whole thing feel less lonely.

No big wins. Just one tiny step. And honestly, I’m glad I took it.

Week 2: The First Stone

Nov 24 to Nov 30, 2025

This week felt heavier than the first one. More doubts. More hesitations. More staring at ideas I wasn’t sure I could carry.

I changed direction a few times. Froze a little. Picked a lane. Unpicked it. Tried again.

Tiny steps everywhere, but nothing big enough to feel real.

Still… something shifted.

I made one quiet thing that didn’t just exist. It meant something. Small and a bit scary. But it felt like placing the first stone of a road I can’t see yet.

I kept showing up anyway. Even on the days when I had almost nothing in me. Even when things felt messy or pointless. Even when disappearing for a while seemed easier.

But you don’t get “ready.” You just move.

And somewhere inside all that tiny confusion, things started to feel possible again.

Not certain. Not clear. Just possible.

No big wins this week. But one honest step that made the whole journey feel real.

For now, that’s enough.

Next week, I’ll try to place another small stone.

Week 3: The Waiting Quiet

Dec 1 to Dec 7, 2025

This week felt slower. I kept working on something I can’t share yet, and having to wait for the release date made the whole thing heavier than expected. It’s strange to move forward while not being able to show anything.

Most days were small. I reread my Week 2 note and it made the day feel lighter. Some days I didn’t have much in me, so I stayed small and tried not to force anything. I left a tiny seed here and there. Friday was a soft, sneaky little win. Saturday was a failure that shook me more than it should have.

I also tried adding a newsletter widget to the site. It completely failed. I didn’t have the energy to solve it yet. It’s waiting on the side for now.

In the background, I spent a lot of time thinking about the long-term project. Tweaking plans. Trying to decide what I should work on next. Still talking with myself about it, still unsure.

There was a moment where I almost disappeared for a bit. Nothing dramatic. Just that quiet instinct to vanish when things feel stuck. But I stayed.

The stone I placed this week isn’t visible. It’s somewhere between waiting, failing, choosing, and not choosing. A tiny shift inside the work, even if no one can see it.

Next week I’ll try again. Maybe something a bit clearer will show up.

Week 4: Before Saying Anything

Dec 8 to Dec 14, 2025

This week was quieter than expected. Not empty. Just turned inward.

Something important went live. I didn’t say it out loud. Didn’t announce it. Didn’t frame it.

I let myself enjoy it first.

I listened to it alone. A few times. Not to promote it. Not to measure anything. Just to sit with the feeling of having finished something that mattered to me.

That felt new. And strangely big.

The rest of the week stayed small. A couple of messages sent. Some names added. Tiny adjustments no one will notice. A lot of waiting.

There were moments where I wondered if I should have made more noise. If staying quiet was a mistake. If things only count once you point at them.

But I didn’t rush it.

This week wasn’t about being seen. It was about letting something exist, without immediately turning it into a performance.

I stayed close to the work. Kept the tools nearby. Didn’t push. Didn’t vanish either.

The stone I placed this week is invisible. It’s the moment before saying anything. The part you usually skip.

Next week, maybe I’ll share more. Or maybe I’ll take another quiet lap first.

Either way, it’s here now. And so am I.

Week 5: When Something Notices You

Dec 15 to Dec 21, 2025

This week didn’t look loud from the outside. But something shifted.

The quiet thing I released last week stopped being only mine. Not in a dramatic way. Not in a numbers way. Just enough to be noticed.

A message. A few words from someone I don’t know. A signal that what I made landed somewhere beyond my own head.

It surprised me more than I expected.

The rest of the week stayed simple. I didn’t push. Didn’t accelerate. Didn’t try to turn attention into momentum.

Most days were calm. Work stayed unfinished. Ideas stayed unshaped. I sat with them instead of forcing clarity.

There was a strange mix of feelings:

• wanting to hide again
• wanting to finish everything at once
• acting like being noticed is normal
• remembering that I’m still very much at the beginning

So I kept things small.

I showed up quietly. I didn’t vanish. I didn’t perform.

Somewhere in there, I realized something important: being seen doesn’t mean the work is done. It just means the work exists.

The stone I placed this week isn’t about progress. It’s about not flinching when the outside world taps the glass.

Letting something be acknowledged without rushing to justify it or turn it into a result.

Next week, I’ll keep going. Finish something. Or not.

Either way, I’m still here.

And that still counts.

Week 6: A Small Disappearance

Dec 22 to Dec 28, 2025

This week started with a simple realization: Monday isn’t a fresh start. It’s just… Monday. I kept moving anyway.

Tuesday was mostly planning and quiet design work. Nothing flashy. Just the kind of progress nobody sees, but that still matters.

Then Christmas arrived, and I drifted away from the work for a few days without really meaning to.

I wasn’t quitting. I wasn’t hiding. I just stepped out of the frame for a moment.

At first it felt like I’d broken some invisible rule. Then it felt necessary.

When I came back, there was no big restart. No speech. Just… continuing.

The stone I placed this week wasn’t about moving forward. It was about allowing pauses without turning them into drama.

Still tiny. Still here.

Week 7: coming soon

I stepped back for a moment, and now I’m easing back into the work. We’ll see what next week brings.

✨ Why I’m Doing This

Most people only start sharing once things look good. But the beginning is messy and confusing and full of fear. You almost never get to see it.

I wanted to start right here, while everything still feels fragile and uncertain.

If you’re also at the beginning, welcome. If you’re ahead of me, feel free to wave from up there. If you just enjoy tiny goblin vibes, you’ll feel at home.
