§ A note from the workshop

I've worked in broadcast since November 2004RAI, Sky Sport, and enough late-night edits in between. I know how long it takes to turn a social post into something you can air.

These tools are the ones I wished I had, built by someone who has stood in the edit bay at 11:45pm trying to ship before midnight.

No venture capital. No feature bloat. Just software for the people who move first.
