- launchSeven hero rounds in four days, and the one that shipped
The site has a design now. This is the record of how it got one: a closed design run, six rejected heroes, eighteen screenshots of sites I liked, three cheap sketches, and a taste pass I ran against my own work.
- postWhy I'm building this in public
I forget things. I got tired of apologizing for it, so I started handing the remembering to machines, and publishing every peso it costs.
FAQ
Questions, answered from the bench
What is The Token Dad?
One dad building with machines in public, and publishing what it costs. Guides you can replicate, experiments that sometimes fail, and the bill for each.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to learn to build with tech and take home something they can replicate. You do not need kids. The dad part is my voice, not a filter on who reads.
What do you mean by receipts?
Every published number carries its method: tokens measured, cost modelled, assumptions stated. When a number turns out wrong, I correct it in public.
What is the lab?
Experiments, including the closed ones. The first was the Website Challenge: four AI design tools, one frozen brief. Its record and the four frozen builds are still up.
