Hi there. My name is Paul. I’m a developer, an explorer and I’ve got ADHD. As of the beginning of August, I’m also unemployed.

This last part, along with everything else this past year, has caused me a great deal of stress.

While our balcony zen garden project is yet to be completed, I had an idea to create a virtual one that everyone can use.

It's an idea that, unfortunately, I’ve been postponing for a while now, mostly because I have no fucking idea how to do it as I don’t know JavaScript, and I don't have the capacity to learn it right now.

So I let perfect be the enemy of good and, well... just kept the idea to myself.

Then I said "fuck it" and used AI to make the thing I really wanted to make.

I realized I didn't want "perfect". I wanted "good enough".

I tweaked, added, removed, drew, researched, questioned, tested... I just wasn't the one coding it.

So now, instead of occupying my brain, it now lives on the internet for others to enjoy.

Yes, there’s something noble about making something entirely on your own, but what good is an idea that just sits in my head?

So here I am. I made the thing. The weird, little, quiet koi pond.

The silly project of passion. The little corner of the internet to let strangers watch fish quietly, together.

I hope this pond helps you as much as it helped me.
