Been building a small AI tool for freelancers, solo.
Simple UI, fast output, designed to make the “proposal part” of freelancing hurt a bit less.
More screenshots soon.

Type one letter.
Instantly get a focused list of the skills clients actually care about.
This is the skill search inside EigoPropo — my AI proposal tool for non-native freelancers.

“I'll fix this UI real quick.”
Two hours later:
Why do tiny layout tweaks always turn into boss fights?
Anyway, it looks perfect now.
Building a proposal generator for non-native devs.
Beta soon 👀

I built an LP for my new tool, and here’s the funny part:
I keep telling everyone, “AI writes proposals in minutes,”
but the layout, the flow, and the wireframes?
Yeah… all of that was still made the old-fashioned way by one very analog human — me. 😇

Applied for my first freelance gig.
Five hours of “requirement definition” later — still nothing decided.
Client confused. Me confused.
Maybe that was the requirement.

Seven months ago I couldn't parse anything.
Touch one file—error storm. I kept going.
Today I got my first client reply for a Stripe Connect build.
Luck? Sure. But also showing up daily.
Not a finish line—just proof I'm closer.

Firebase was great for prototyping… until I spent 3 days fighting Firestore rules.
Not only did Firebase hit its limits — I hit mine too. 🥲
Switching to Next.js + Node.js + SQL felt like breathing fresh air.

Day and night are equal, balance of light and dark. 🌅🌕
In Japan it’s a day to honor ancestors—not religion but gratitude.
Day is human, night sacred. When equal, the two meet.
