Experiments

  1. Peponi.to: try it for a week, then run it yourself

    I started Peponi.to to see whether Cursor could function as a pair programmer. That question has an answer: yes, on scaffolding and debugging; no, on taste.

  2. A school day that stays at home

    The first write-up is about the product: wrap Oak, plan the year, keep progress in one place. That is the design argument. It is not the reason I built it.

  3. HomeSchool Hub: a family learning space

    Oak National Academy already publishes a national curriculum as lessons: video, slides, quizzes, transcripts. The licence is open. The API is not something I scraped or guessed at. I wrote to Oak’s…

  4. HomeSchool Hub

    Home education needs a curriculum, a plan, and a way to see whether anything actually happened this week. Those three things usually live in three different places: a public lesson library, a…

  5. Designing with Cursor

    Peponi.to (peponi.to) is a Rails planner built with Cursor. The source is MIT. The goal was not to ship a product. It was to understand what it means to design and develop with an AI as your pair…

  6. Peponi.to: an experiment in AI pair programming

    Todo apps are the hello world of product design. Everyone has built one. The point is not novelty. The point is control. You know the domain. You know the edges. You can focus on the process: how…

  7. Peponi.to: from AI experiment to open source planner

    The goal was not to ship a product. It was to understand what it means to design and develop with an AI as your pair programmer. The outcome was a planner I actually use, and you can have it.

  8. Peponi.to

    Todo apps are a controlled domain. You know the edges. That made Peponi.to a good place to test two things at once: what it feels like to build with Cursor as a pair programmer, and whether a small…
