FloppyCougar Build Lab
Tools, apps, and digital things that actually work. Built here, tested here, iterated here. The scoreboard is what ships.
This site itself. A creative universe around a consulting company — public marketing, a blog, About / Studios / Finance pages, an Insiders Lab portal, and a network of easter eggs that bind it all together. Can a business site be interesting? This is the working answer.
AI-powered mascot customizer. Describe a vibe, a setting, or a costume and Bertie transforms. Built with Claude. Remembers your last session and lives in the Insiders arcade.
A living portrait of the studio mascot — moods, snack preferences, daily rituals, and the ongoing feud with inanimate objects. Equal parts dossier and design system reference.
A sandwich builder inspired by Pickles & Rye Deli. Browse four menus, build your order with a visual ingredient stack, and export a shopping list. Built in React.
A deal-tracking and sales pipeline tool. Built as a progressive web app — add it to your home screen. Logging, status tracking, and pipeline management that actually works.
AI-guided travel planner. Enter your destination, dates, and budget — WayFinder builds a full itinerary. Choose your Guide persona to shape the tone and priorities.
A research and documentation tool for tracing a family line — built and used end-to-end on the Derr family archive. Photo-grade timelines, source ledgers, and a Field Manual that survives reorgs. Lives in the Insiders Lab.
A nine-cabinet browser arcade tucked behind the Insiders portal — Tank Brothers (artillery, with a comet, kiwis, and a Pillars-of-Creation finale), GolfSweeper (Excitebike + Minesweeper), a Hearts card-game suite with a Berwick Golf Club deck, plus Bertie's Ballad, BrickBash, Pong, Galleria, Fellowship of the Algorithm, and Canopy. Pure HTML / Canvas, no install.
A site-wide easter egg system tracked through a single hub: dozens of triggers across the public site and the Insiders Lab, each catalogued in the Egg Control dashboard. Find them all and a passport gets stamped.
A financial clarity tool for people who find money confusing. Not advice — just visibility. MVP scoping underway.
