Studio
A one-person studio for small, local-first software. It makes a few things, and looks after them properly.
Local first
Your library, your files and your notes stay on your devices.
Only what is true
Each app describes what it does today. Plans are labelled as plans.
Small on purpose
One job per app, and a long commitment to each.

I'm Xiaonan. I build AI systems and the backends behind them, and I make Android apps. This studio is where my own software lives.
