Simondoesit.

I make products on the internet. Some are mine, some are for other people, and I write down what I learn on the way.

Who I amWhat I’ve made

The domain was available. I took that as a sign rather than as a warning.

Right now

Building Caddie Live, Society Caddie and Banked.

Banked is live on the web now, with an iOS version coming soon. I also just released Nobody Told Me Either, a friendly field guide to the invisible code of golf.

Last true in November 2026.

Freshly out in the world

A couple of new things.

Banked is live on the web, and the golf etiquette book is now out in the world. They are very different things. That is part of the fun.

Things I've made

Products, books, and experiments.

The things I build, run, and occasionally publish. All real, all clickable, and all a little different from the one before.

All of it, in more detail

Adrift (opens in a new tab)

A message in a bottle. No tracking, no notifications, and no guarantee anyone ever finds it.

Writing

Notes from the middle of it.

Building products, adopting AI without the evangelism, trying to market things, occasionally golf. Written while it is still happening rather than tidied up afterwards.

Everything I've written

Background

Twenty years of this, professionally.

Roughly 2002 to 2011. A different job. The music years

I have been making digital things for a living for more than two decades, across agencies, in-house product teams and my own freelance work. Ecommerce platforms, creator tools, internal systems nobody outside the company will ever see, and a few interactive installations big enough that you could walk around inside them.

The thread through all of it is the same: take a complicated idea and turn it into something that works. Lately most of my attention goes on building my own products and on the more interesting half of the AI question, which is not what the models can do but what actually changes about how a product team researches, designs, ships and measures once they are in the room.

Before most of that, and alongside some of it, the job involved drums.
