A Field Guide to Side Projects

Field notes on shipping side projects in public.

Small bets, kept small

Each chapter is a short essay about scope: what to cut, what to keep, and when a weekend project should stay a weekend project.

Write like a builder

The guide favors checklists and honest retros over grand theory, with a layout tuned for long reads on any screen.

Published as a living page

New chapters ship as edits to the same SaveKit page, so the guide's link never changes while the content keeps growing.
