Hello, world

June 11, 2026

This is my corner of the internet. I'm Simon, an indie developer from the Netherlands, and this site is where my apps, their privacy policies, and my notes about building them will live.

Why I started building apps

It began with my mom playing Spider solitaire on her tablet — and waiting through an ad after every single game. The game itself takes skill and patience; the ads take neither. So I'm building her a version without any of that. No ads, no tracking, no nonsense.

What to expect here

  • Progress notes on the apps I'm building
  • Things I learn along the way (code, design, shipping)
  • The occasional opinion about software that respects people

More soon.
