Why Build This?

To help friends and family help themselves

It started as a rough dataset I put together so the people closest to me could get answers without having to come to me first. A vein attempt to retire from the tech-support family member role.

To learn and ship something real

This site is a vessel for picking up new skills and actually putting something out into the world, rather than letting side projects collect dust.

To be a utility, not a click farm

The irony here is not lost on me, but most sites like this exist to funnel you to the highest-commission product, not the best one. I want to make a resource, something that can distill complex information, therefore empowering casual buyers to make informed decisions. My new Guides section aims to represent this; It's there for information, not to ram links in and upsell readers. It's gives the site an SEO boost too, I just don't plan framing the language or topics of those Guides to chase it.
