What I'm building right now

This changes pretty often. These are the things getting most of my attention right now.

  1. In progressSellMac

    SellMac pricing

    Problem
    Pricing thousands of different used Macs accurately is difficult.
    Focus
    Improving how device specifications, condition, market data, inventory, and resale value inform the offer we make.

  2. In progressTechable

    Techable internal systems

    Apple Mac mini inventory at Techable
    Problem
    Normal inventory systems do not fit everything we need for unique devices, intake, listings, marketplaces, fulfillment, and support.
    Focus
    Connecting more of the operation and cutting out manual steps.

  3. TestingAcross the companies

    AI inside the businesses

    Problem
    There is a lot of AI hype. I care about the places where it actually saves time or makes a decision better.
    Focus
    Testing AI in pricing, content, support, automation, SEO, and internal workflows.

  4. BuildingAcross the companies

    Reseller Network

    Mac minis and MacBooks lined up for processing at Techable
    Problem
    Inventory that does not fit our retail workflow sits here, while smaller resellers and repair shops are always looking for devices to buy.
    Focus
    Sorting inventory into 10 to 100 device lots with known issues disclosed, and building a waitlist of buyers so we know what to match them with.

  5. BuildingWriting

    Operator Notes

    Problem
    Most resale content is about individual flips instead of building something that keeps working after the flip.
    Focus
    Documenting buying, pricing, true margin, inventory velocity, cash flow, fraud, returns, and operations.

Some of this will work. Some of it will get paused or killed. When that happens it moves down to the archive instead of quietly disappearing.

Archive

Nothing archived yet. When a project ships, stalls, or gets killed, it lands here with what changed.
