Weekly Status Update: August 1st, 2026

This week felt fast — so fast that on Thursday I thought it was Monday, and incorrectly thought the next day (Friday) was Taco Tuesday. This week focused on building out supporting pipelines to keep improving maps, soft-launching Dewy Courses, and working on side projects.

Let’s get to updates.

Piping the Pipeline

While working on Dewy Courses (below), I found that the pipeline just wasn’t up to snuff — it wasn’t giving me enough data to have the system autonomously act on the data I did collect. So I’ve started building the pipeline around local LLMs, where each skill takes on one attribute (i.e. find the scorecard, get a “vibe” description of the course, etc.). I’m finding some promising results beyond what I was previously getting with strict scraping, and getting some practice with the nuance of using local LLMs. Currently this is just Qwen.

Dewy Courses

I started working on Dewy Courses this week, reusing data I’ve created for Dewy Golf and enabling golfers and courses to manage it.

The idea:

Allow golfers to find their next favorite course, have information at their fingertips, and book.

Enable course operators to manage and update their web presence. Allow them to take bookings, update their course’s calendar, manage photos, and communicate with golfers.

This week was a lot of productizing and securing Dewy Golf’s public information, standing up the site, and getting some rough designs going. It’s still a WIP — nowhere near finished, but fun for me.

Side Projects

I’m working on 2–4 apps I might release in the next month. I’m using RevenueCat’s Shipaton as a motivator to get some of these apps I’ve been using for months out into the world.

Currently in progress:

• Top3: Gamified, simplified to-do
• Evenlight: Tarot, horoscope, and mindfulness
• BugBridge: My internal tool for reporting bugs live from your device, into tickets
• SpinCall: Updates coming with video recording of your game
