I'm making photography software: https://heliographe.net https://heliographe.net
Right now my work is Apple platforms only (revenue through App Store), but I'm actively looking into ways to expand to other platforms.
As a long time photographer, my philosophy is to make tools that are useful to me first and foremost, and to build smaller scope things that compose well (UNIX philosophy). I've got some exciting new things planned for 2025.
These are all side projects right now, as my official full time occupation is Japanese language school student (I moved to Japan at the end of 2023 year after almost 15 years in SF Bay Area tech companies/startups, becoming a full time student at 34 surrounded by 21 year olds from a very different background has been an interesting experience on its own).
Since the revenue has been increasing the last few months, I incorporated to keep things organized, but for now these projects are still "side projects". It'd be cool if I could justify financially to do this full time after I finish language school in 2026.

- ein0p 2y agoTrichromy reminds me of Prokudin-Gorsky's color photographs from the 19th century. Except of course he tried to get rid of the effect. Clever!
- heliographe 2y agoYes, it’s directly based on the trichromatic photographic process, which I learned about reading an article about Gorsky. And yeah, it’s super interesting how when a new recording technology is created, we seek to avoid its limitations; but later on, those limitations get embraced on their own merits for aesthetic value!
- snackernews 2y agoThese are great. Always a pleasure discovering a portfolio of apps from an indie developer that genuinely do one thing well, are well designed, and all have the coveted “Data Not Collected” app privacy card to boot.
- gaoryrt 2y agoI'm a user of the 65×24 app, I didn't know that the same person made the trichrome app, what amazing work!
