👋 I'm @ndyg! I'm really glad you're here.

Gosh, we've made a mess of things, haven't we?

I love tinkering and cobbling together "Small Tools". Some people call that interop.

I'd like to work with others to craft and seriously use these tools to foster cosy communities and good faith communication, with the goal of exploring life's intricacies and uplifting everyone's journey.

Which is to say, I'd like to work with you to make things better. And .. what does "make things better" even mean?

Some of the things I'm working on...
