[*] about

hi! I’m vlad.

I build init.Habits, init.Tasks and init.Dither in public, on my own. they are all part of init.Made.

no apps did what I wanted, so I decided to make my own. they have an opinionated design, and you’ll know pretty quickly if they’re for you. my philosophy is that apps should feel more like a tool rather than a coach. I don’t make flashy designs and instead focus on functionality.

most of my infrastructure is self-hosted, and I use ai extensively to get the work done.

I’ve been active on social media for months before starting this blog, but sometimes I need more room to express myself. if that’s something you’d like to follow along — then there are plenty of ways to get my posts to your inbox. there’s no schedule, I’ll post when there’s something to share.

want to get in touch? email me at hello@initmade.com. send me a message on discord, or reach out on socials. I read and respond to everything myself.
