Build, Don't Subscribe

For the last seven years I’ve run a personal site to build a personal brand.

I tried every builder going - AWS static pages, Bento (RIP), Carrd.

Each did part of the job. None did all of it.

What I wanted was simple: real customisation, my own domain, a proper blog and no monthly fee swallowing it whole - Yes I know I’m a cheapskate

That product never existed. So I stopped waiting for it.

Now Claude Code built my site, Vercel hosts it, Sanity runs the blog.

It costs me nothing on top of a sub I’d pay anyway, and it runs its own SEO every month.

The tools finally caught up. The only question is whether you have.

Stop renting. Start building.

It’s called RAWCraft and the idea is really simple:

It was born out of the same mindset that I wanted to build something rather than keep paying. Therefore, I cancelled my Adobe Lightroom mobile subscription and built this app.

You import a ProRaw photo, apply a LUT or preset you already own, and then export it, done!

And the great part - it is it's monthly subscription free with a one-time payment, updates for life and no ads.

Making money on the internet is a journey; it may be small but persistence pays off.

A collection of stuff I found this month that I think is worth sharing.

Clicky — It’s like Microsoft paperclip but much better.
