Founder of Konde Studio. Local-first AI advocate.
Designing for solopreneurs not enterprise
Most dev tools target Series B engineering teams — and the design choices that work for that audience actively get in the way of the solo founder shipping at 2am. Here are the seven trade-offs we made deliberately, and why they cut against the consensus.
Launching Caster — your social media ghost writer
Caster takes one paragraph of intent and turns it into ready-to-post drafts for X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram. Now in private beta — here is the pitch and how to get in.
Konde Web — render landing pages from JSON
Konde Web takes a JSON config and emits a fully styled, fast, edge-deployed landing page in under thirty seconds. It powers konde.io itself, and starting today it ships as a public Konde Studio module.
How Konde Studio licensing works
One license, one machine, perpetual ownership, optional update access. Why we deliberately walked away from SaaS pricing for Konde Studio — and the answers to the four questions every new buyer asks us.
Team update — three new hires this quarter
Q1 was our first real hiring quarter at Konde. Welcome Sersan Parto, Corporal Yoona, and Bambang to the founding team — here is what each of them is owning, and the lessons we took away from filling these three seats.
DBarn — admin dashboard for your Konde data
DBarn is the database admin module that ships with Konde Studio. Connect any Postgres, SQLite, or MySQL instance, browse rows, run SQL, and let an agent operate on the same data you are looking at — all in one panel.
Embedded Cloudflare Tunnel — share your local server in one click
Konde Studio bundles cloudflared and exposes any port to a real HTTPS URL with one click. No ngrok account, no manual config, no surprise rate limits — and it works for any project, any framework, any port.
Lessons from 100 onboarding sessions
We watched a hundred first-time Konde Studio users from cold install to first deployed project. Here are the seven rough edges that came up most, the fixes shipping in Q1, and the principles we extracted along the way.
2026 roadmap — what we are building this year
Konde Hosting, Konde Web v2, Email Sender, KW Render, KSS App Store, and three modules we are not ready to name yet. Here is the order, the why, and the trade-offs.
Konde Studio v1.0 is live
After eighteen months in stealth, Konde Studio v1.0 is public — eight core modules, fifty-six themes, a real API, and pricing that does not scale with your usage.
