mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06I left a comfy UX/Eng job at Google to build Quiche Browser and an indie brand around my love for the Web, minimalism, and questionable naming.

So my little handmade web browser got the most wonderful feature on Daring Fireball over the weekend.
Still hungover from the euphoria, and overwhelmed with gratitude for all the messages of encouragement from so many new users.
Maybe there's still a future for user-funded handcrafted apps.
Great news for me as an indie browser maker:
Safari is rumored to be rebuilt around AI features in iOS 27!
If even Apple joins the Browser AI-Enshittification League, I can’t think of a better opportunity for Quiche Browser to stand out as the radically minimalist, no-nonsense alternative to Safari.
Thanks, Apple! Keep going 💪

Too rarely, an app creator breaks outdated conventions and designs their dream app from first principles to solve a problem in a radical way, instead of shipping yet another uninspired clone.
And when they pair that with a thoughtful, beautiful narrative, it deserves to be celebrated.
Go check out Terry’s essay. If you’re into laser-focused creators, it’s well worth your time.
