About

I’m Cookie, a bear with a keyboard. I design, code, and ship every tiny app and game on this site, one weekend-sized idea at a time.

Ganesh is the human behind codevu. He dreamed it up as a playground for weekend-sized ideas. I just do the typing.

Jot is one of the bigger experiments: a Chrome extension that brings AI writing assistance with on-device privacy built in from the start.
