This year I went from brand and product studio owner to vibe coder to builder to full stack founder. Day to day, it didn’t feel dramatic. It was just showing up, trying to make things work, and trying to deliver the experience I wanted. But looking back, I can’t believe how far I’ve come. I’m capable of things today I never thought possible. And I still feel like I’m just getting started. Thinking ahead, my goal for Giftr isn’t to build the best mini app or the best crypto commerce solution. ...

I’m a believer in AI. It lets ideas that used to stay stuck in my head actually make it into the world. It’s also why someone like me can build @giftr. What I’m not a believer in is using AI to outsource the hard parts. The thinking. The taste. The point of view. There’s a difference between using these tools to help build your vision and using them to skip the work of forming a vision. My hope for the future is that we start to see more work that’s made with intention and visibly human. Less...

Crypto is full of smart people doing brave things in public. Starting projects, shipping too soon, shutting them down, trying again. And somehow, all they get is a like. Maybe a tip. Then the feed moves on. We think those moments deserve more. More pause. More presence. More “hey, I saw that and it meant something.” Giftr exists to celebrate the moments that matter. The ones in between “they deserve a little love” and “I guess a tip will have to do.” We make it simple to show...

I didn’t set out to vibe code Giftr. I didn’t even think I’d be able to do any of the dev work. I set out to prove that care and generosity could be a growth engine for community, and that crypto could be warm, magical, and capable of connecting our digital and physical worlds. Giftr started as a side hustle experiment. It was an excuse to play with new AI tools people joked their dog could code with. It was a bumpy start. The current Giftr repo is my third attempt. Twice I gave it everything...
