Coach's Notes
The post-game interview with myself: honest reflections from this month on the court.
This Month's Focus
September 2026 is about Kempt. The app is live on the App Store with its first paying subscribers, and the focus now is turning more downloads into Kempt Plus subscriptions. Piano practice is still a daily habit, and reading is tracking well against the 15,000-page goal, powered by deep runs through the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Goal Progress
The AI-assisted development goal is ahead of schedule: Claude Code has become the primary way I build everything, Kempt included. Kempt shipped to the App Store in August after a private TestFlight beta, and it now has its first paying subscribers and early recurring revenue. Reading is on pace, and piano and the 5K are both ongoing.
Key Insights
- Claude Code changes everything: Building software with AI assistance is a fundamentally different (and faster) workflow
- Big reading goals need big books: The GoT series has been great for accumulating pages while staying engaged
- New skills compound slowly at first: Piano is humbling, but consistency is the only path forward
What's Next
Next up is growing Kempt's subscriber base and monthly recurring revenue, maintaining the reading pace, and pushing deeper into piano fundamentals.
