Cory Copeland

Product-minded software builder

·5 wk▁▁▁▁▃▄▂▂▃▁▁▁▂▁▃█▁▃▅▄▅▄▃▆▃▃▁▁▁▃▂▁▁▁▁

I build polished software from messy ideas.

AI tools, educational apps, community products, and self-hosted systems — built with product clarity, design taste, automation, and full-stack engineering.

FractionFriends

A gentle full-stack fraction-reasoning app with spaced review, admin tooling, and child-centered UX for neurodivergent learners.

SpiceShelf

A genre-native romantasy book companion for the BookTok crowd — a polished brand, a live landing page that showcases the real product (rendered book spines and in-app mobile screens, not stock art), and a waitlist backend, now extended with a v0.1.0 mobile app prototype: a spine-out wooden bookshelf with a 12-template spine renderer, seven switchable shelf themes that re-skin every book, and a procedural-free / AI-baked-premium 'special editions' monetization model.

Develops a product end-to-end — from audience insight through brand identity and backend to a themeable mobile UI with a built-in free/premium model.

SetOff

A unified trip dashboard for friend groups and families — itinerary building, expense splitting, and group decisions in one product, rather than four single-purpose tools and a group chat.

Combines product strategy, dense data modeling (RLS, settlement algorithm, multi-phase deletion flow), and self-hosted Supabase deployment into one full-stack project.

SEO/GEO Agent

A technical auditing agent that crawls sites, extracts metadata and structured data, and produces scoring signals for search and generative-engine visibility.

Shows practical automation, crawler design, parsing, scoring logic, and applied AI-era content strategy.

WorthOS

An educational personal-finance organizer with an early LAN-only prototype.

A calm wooden desk by a window, with a small sculptural form anchoring the foreground.

Working in the open

Six brands, one operator, one room.

Most of these projects ship from the same desk and the same small self-hosted stack. The constraints are the point.

Writing

Essays and build notes.

Scattered on Purpose is my Substack for reflection. Build Notes will be the technical companion: architecture decisions, self-hosting, and AI-assisted development.
