Somehow, I became a developer this week. Like, one with a real-life product. I know, I am as amazed as you are.

After one week of being an actual maker of internet goods that were relatively slow to create and even slower to monetize, I think I'm ready to share some of my work with you all.1 I'm calling this first installment TMDB Reviewer. It's a simple bookmarklet that allows you to create a formatted markdown file of a movie or TV show from TMDB.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "That sounds like a thing that already exists." Well, you're not wrong. But my goal is to create a ecosystem of simple, easy-to-use tools that can be combined to create more complex workflows. Whether it's for your personal use, or for your business. I want to make the internet a little more fun. And maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to make a little money along the way.

Some day.

It's got a cool(ish) bookmarklet and lets you really quickly add things you've watched over the years to a simple markdown document you can keep with you the next time you have a free minute and want to completely rewrite an entire blogging system and built it with its own templating system and still reads markdown files because that's so easier to use than MySQL.

I still have nightmares.

But seriously, it's a pretty cool bookmarklet. It's simple, easy to use, and saves you time. Check it out on GitHub and let me know what you think!

  1. Everybody knows I have no problem sharing with everybody I can possibly share with. It's just this time it's pretty cool. ↩
