Useful
A free-by-default audit toolkit that emits deterministic JSON and lets the model write the prose.

Reliable
Integer-cents settlements, RLS predicates, and a deletion state machine you can sleep through.
See it inSetOff
Private
Per-member opt-in baked into the schema; sharing and exports filter through visibility flags.

Featured Work
A curated set with enough polish, momentum, and product clarity to represent my current work.
A gentle full-stack fraction-reasoning app with spaced review, admin tooling, and child-centered UX for neurodivergent learners.
Combines education, product design, full-stack engineering, and AI-assisted learning into a cohesive app.
A privacy-conscious family network with opt-in profile sharing, self-hosted web deployment, and Supabase/Postgres infrastructure.
Demonstrates product strategy, privacy thinking, brand polish, deployment discipline, and operational maturity.
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.
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. Now extended with Skipper, an in-app AI co-planner that proposes itinerary items and polls for the crew to approve, plus a full desktop/mobile redesign and real Pro billing.
Combines product strategy, dense data modeling (RLS, settlement algorithm, multi-phase deletion flow), an AI co-planning feature with metered billing, and self-hosted Supabase deployment into one full-stack project.
A technical auditing engine for search and generative-engine visibility, now live as a public self-serve web app at audit.corycopeland.dev — free scoring, accounts, delta tracking, and a tested (not-yet-enabled) Stripe billing layer — plus its own CLI-driven lead-generation and outreach engine.
Shows practical automation, crawler design, SSRF-safe queue/worker architecture, provider-abstracted billing, and applied AI-era content strategy — from a Claude Code skill to a deployed product.
An independent AI systems studio for small businesses and founders — lead capture, follow-up, and internal dashboards built as focused workflows, not a platform. Backed by a real internal CRM, a quote/contract engine, and a personalized outreach-video pipeline, all self-built and self-operated.
Combines product positioning, two live client-facing demo apps, an internal ops app with a pricing/contract/delivery pipeline, and an automated outreach-video system into one operating business.
An educational personal-finance organizer — organize income, expenses, debts, and goals, see key household-finance metrics, and generate a guardrailed AI-review prompt. Live public PWA plus a $29 offline Starter Kit.
Working in the open
Most of these projects ship from the same desk and the same small self-hosted stack. The constraints are the point.
Featured case study

Labs
Prototypes and edges of what I'm exploring next. Visible, but secondary.
A calmer supplement tracking app for people who take this seriously. Smart scheduling, interaction-aware, science-backed — built for the over-40 stack.
A mobile-first AI lyric video tool concept under BeaconBridge Labs.
About
I'm Cory Copeland — a builder who cares about product clarity, humane interfaces, useful automation, and systems that can actually be operated after the fun prototype phase ends.

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