I build these because I keep walking into the same wall: a task that takes five minutes, sitting behind a signup form and a monthly fee. So the tools here open in a browser, there is nothing to install, and at the moment none of them ask you to make an account.

First one up is Hot Deal Sheet. Korean deal communities post the same bargains all day in slightly different shapes, so it collects them every few minutes and flattens them into one sortable sheet you can read in a few seconds. Others will land as I need them. Four small tools that each do one thing beat one that does everything at half quality.

That is how things stand today rather than a promise about next year. Something that turns out to cost real money to keep running may end up with a price on it, and something nobody uses, me included, will probably come down. If either happens I would rather say so here than leave the thing quietly rotting.

Writing

The blog is the workbench, not the point of the place. Most of it is me working out which tool to buy before I can build anything: image models, automation platforms, LLM gateways, the scanners that read your dependencies. Prices and version numbers get checked against the vendor's own page, and the date I checked them goes in the post, because this category is stale within a quarter.

Elsewhere

I write in Korean at blog.nomadlab.cc, on a wider range of subjects.

Mail me at im@ondelva.com. A bug report about a tool that broke on you is the most useful thing you can send.
