I design, build, ship, and run a portfolio of small, focused software products, most of them for owner-operated businesses: buying signals, AI search visibility, construction takeoffs, and physical mail an AI assistant can send for you. Lately also free Claude skills, a podcast, and a horror fitness concept for AR glasses. Everything under Projects is live.
Open to see the list, or for the longer version. Grab the Claude skills I've built, watch the preview, explore Robot Dog Activations, sponsor a conference booth, or read the About page.
Give people a reason to stop. Give your brand a way to start the conversation.

Your cardio has consequences. A masked killer chases you on real runs. Run faster and he falls behind. Slow down and he closes in, watching from a rear-cam window inside your AR glasses.
A John Arndt concept for AR glasses. Not an app you can download yet.
JOHN ARNDT - README.TXT
=======================
Hi. This is my corner of the internet, dressed up as a
desktop from 1995. Everything on it is real and links out
to things that are live.
WHAT I DO
---------
I build and run small software products. Most of them
solve one specific, expensive problem for an
owner-operated business:
* finding the accounts worth calling today (Intakra)
* seeing what AI assistants say about a business
(MentionedOn)
* pricing a construction bid for a specific metro (Portravo)
* letting an AI assistant send real mail, with you
approving every detail (Postedly)
Lately I've also been packaging how I work into free
Claude skills (johnarndt.net/skills), making a podcast
called After the Demo, and teasing Run For Your Life, a
horror fitness concept for AR glasses.
HOW I WORK
----------
Small scope, shipped fast, then run for real. I do the
research, the design, the code, the deploy, and the
support. The company is Soxoa.
