The build log · monthly · from Will

One email.
Once a month.
Straight from me.

I'm Will, a teenage indie developer building RIVET, a free Windows app with an AI assistant that runs entirely on your own PC. Once a month I write up what shipped, what I learned in EPOCH, my daily machine-learning challenge, and one Windows tip worth knowing.

Who's writing

Built solo, in public.

RIVET started as a PowerShell script and is now a native Windows app on the Microsoft Store, in 10 languages, with an AI assistant that never sends anything off your PC.

I build it on my own alongside school, and the build log is the honest version of how that's going.
