j23n
Thoughts on society, programming and democracy
j23n is a personal site featuring writing and projects by an independent developer. It showcases three iOS apps—LocalGallery, LocalTunes, and LocalContacts—built around a files-first, privacy-focused philosophy. The site also hosts essays and thoughts on society, programming, and democracy.
Three standalone iOS apps (LocalGallery, LocalTunes, LocalContacts) store data locally on the device rather than syncing to the cloud.
