Project intro
TickleTickle is the central place where I collect the websites and tools I build as an indie developer. Instead of leaving each small project isolated on its own domain, this site gives them context: what the project does, who it is for, why I built it, and what changed after launch.
It is also a writing home. I use it to publish product development logs, build-in-public updates, startup experiments, technical setup notes, mistakes, lessons, and personal reflections from long-term travel.
The site is intentionally bilingual. Chinese keeps the original writing close to my natural voice, while English pages make the projects and lessons easier to read for a wider audience. English drafts may use AI assistance, but the goal is always to publish reviewed, useful pages rather than empty translated placeholders.
TickleTickle is still growing, but it is maintained as a real home base: pages are corrected, project descriptions are expanded, search and analytics setup is documented, and policy pages are kept visible so visitors can understand who runs the site and how it works.
