I'm Youdu, an indie developer and long-term traveler. TickleTickle is my public home for the tools I build, the product decisions I make, and the notes I write while learning how to turn small ideas into useful online experiences.
The site has two jobs. First, it works as a directory for my projects, including lightweight browser tools, experimental websites, and small utilities that can be opened and tested directly. Second, it works as a writing archive where I explain what I tried, what went wrong, what improved, and what I learned from shipping in public.
Most of the writing comes from hands-on work: setting up domains, submitting sites to search engines, adding analytics, fixing deployment issues, improving content, and learning how independent products actually behave after they go live. I try to keep those notes practical instead of polished into empty success stories.
TickleTickle is maintained as a personal site rather than a large publication. That means the content is narrow, but it is intentionally original. Pages are updated as projects change, old explanations are corrected when I learn better approaches, and new articles are added when a build process leaves behind something useful for other makers.
If you are interested in indie development, AI-assisted building, search visibility, small web tools, or the quieter side of long-term travel and self-directed work, this site is meant to be a readable map of that process.
