Chrome Extensions

The Mac app started as a dumb question: can you use font ligatures to turn AI into 💩? Turns out yes. Ironically, I used AI to figure out how. The Chrome extension came after — web fonts don't always cooperate. So mostly this is me poking fun. It's also a small nudge to be a little more mindful of the din around AI. Starting, apparently, with your font files.

I'm a craftsperson, and I actually like AI. It's a tool, and a good one — I've made things with it I couldn't have otherwise. But it's polarized everyone. Some think it's salvation, some think it's the end of the world. It's neither... it's a tool.

The tool isn't the problem. People are. Fads, FOMO, and plain fear of the unknown make us act a little crazy... cramming AI into things nobody asked for because (they think) the word sells.

When that makes products worse, it's rarely some master plan. It's usually misaligned incentives and a lack of care. That's most of what enshittification actually is.

I don't think everything needs to be AI. Honestly, who cares about the tool? Focus on outcomes. Focus on your craft, and the joy of using and making things.
