We build the missing pieces

Beautifully designed applications that fill in the blanks. The job with no home, the step everyone still does by hand, the thing your other software politely ignores — that is the piece we build.

Unbiased

Fifty-one outlets and counting, one event, fifty-one versions of it. Unbiased puts every version of the same story on one page, each labeled with its AllSides media bias rating.

Read the left's account beside the right's, with a plain-language summary of exactly where the two disagree — and a name for the story one side is not covering at all.

Go to Unbiased

The Unbiased site: a row of outlet tiles ordered left to right by media bias rating, under the headline Fifty-one outlets. Fifty-one headlines. One event.
Twelve of them, ordered by rating. That row is the product — the rest of the site is what happens when you click one.

Junk Drawer

Somewhere to put everything in your life that does not have a home yet. The receipts, the logins, the paint codes, the thing you will need in eight months and will not remember where you put.

You add cubbies as your life needs them and remove the ones it does not. Everything is searchable, including the insides of your documents.

Go to Junk Drawer

The Junk Drawer app: a greeting and the day's counts above a corkboard of pinned things — notes, photos, books, music, links and recipes, each tagged with its cubby.
The board. Eight cubbies, pinned where you left them, and nothing on it has to make sense to anyone but you.

Hopper

Reporting and people management for teams who have outgrown a spreadsheet but don't want an enterprise suite to do it.

Organizations, departments, people and projects that stay legible whether you're running one crew or forty. Point it at a sheet you already keep and Hopper watches the numbers on a schedule, holds on to every reading, and shows you the shape they make.

Go to Hopper

The Hopper app showing a report called Work orders closed on time: a line chart of on-time and late work orders across twelve weeks, with the current figure of 146 beside it.
One measure, twelve weeks. Hopper keeps every reading it takes, so the shape is already there when someone asks.

Check Yes or No

One question, two boxes. Send somebody a single yes-or-no question — do you want Chinese tonight, can you let the dog out, do you want to be my valentine — and they answer by checking a box.

Whoever you ask needs no account. They pick a pen and an ink, the check draws itself in their hand, and the paper changes to suit the occasion as you type the question.

The Check Yes or No app: a sheet of ruled paper on a desk with the handwritten question Do you want to get a puppy, the backing sheets recolored green with paw prints, and a note reading looks like it is about a pet.
Type the question and the paper answers. The occasion is picked up as you write, and the sheets behind change to suit it.

Fireside

A social site built around what people have in common rather than what splits them. Text, links, pictures, galleries, music and recommendations, in the order they were posted.

One positive signal, a reply, and a way to keep something. No dislike, no reshare, nothing trending — the mechanics that divide are simply not built.

The Fireside app: a single column feed with a recommendation, a text post and a link, each carrying a colored rule underneath for its post type.
One column, newest first. The rule under each post is the color of its kind — a recommendation, something said, something shared.

Oh hi

I’m Ryan, and Oh hi is the answer to my Virgo problem-solving tendencies. As a lover of good design and usability, I try to create tools that are helpful, pretty to look at and stable (like my husband).

About me:

Thanks for checking out Oh hi! I think you’re pretty cool.

Oh bye,
