For the last 10 years I’ve built B2B software for SMBs.
Recently I built something a bit different. A tiny music sharing app called radr.
You pin up to 7 songs and share them. That’s it. Just human to human recommendations.
I built it because I like building. And honestly, there are fewer excuses than ever not to build the random ideas you care about.
I’ve been doing this on my own using AI as a co-builder. Prototyping, cleaning up code, debugging weird edge cases. The speed is insane.
It reminded me how fun it is to just make something and put it out there.
If you’re tinkering with something on the side, share it. I’ll check it out.
And if you like sharing music, try https://t.co/aFK4qt6MsI. I'd love to hear what you're into!
People say LLMs are like having a super smart, always-available intern.
But that undersells it.
I can start building something, disappear for 4 days because life + kids + 12 other ideas…
Then come back Sunday at 11:48pm with:
“Wait. Scrap it. What if we flip the whole thing?”
And it just calmly responds:
“Great. Here’s the revised plan.”
No re-brief.
No “just checking in.”
No emotional damage.
That’s not an intern.
That’s a 24/7 thought partner that tolerates my founder brain in ways no human should have to.
The always-available part is impressive.
The never-loses-the-thread part is the real magic.
Streaming gave us all the music in the world and somehow made sharing worse.
Playlists became endless.
Recommendations got outsourced to algorithms.
Sharing stopped feeling intentional.
I missed the fun, human part, so I built radr.
Seven songs at a time. Once a week max.
No algorithms. Purely human.

A tiny music blog that emails people when you update it.

Claude Code: for everyone who’s had app ideas since 2016 and is finally building them...here's one of mine:

Email newsletter meets music blog.
Pin up to 7 songs you’re loving right now and share them with friends.
No feeds, no algorithms, all human.
buildspace n&w S5, you'll be missed 🥲
thank you to @FarzaTV and the @_buildspace team, you guys made every tuesday and thursday something to look forward to
as a startup founder, it was incredible to take a step back, build, and just enjoy the process!
create -> launch -> measure -> learn -> repeat
✌️
@mrmagan_@FarzaTV@_buildspace thanks for checking it out and for the feedback! yea, right now it's pretty simple in UI terms, tried to make it as low life as possible.
but now with some feedback i'm considering a more interactive interface, maybe a bot.
i'm building fabula stories - a tool for creating personalized children's books.
just fill out a form and receive your personalized story in minutes.
still have some iterating to do, but you can try it out here:

feedback appreciated :)
