About

Land of Awz is a one-person software studio. Small tools, built properly, sold honestly.

Most software sites tell you what they've shipped. This one also tells you what it hasn't.

Who's writing this

One person writes all of it: the code, the pages, the field notes, and the replies to support@landofawz.com. There is no team, no support rota, and no one else to escalate to. That is the reason for most of the decisions below.

How the work happens here

Everything gets one address, from the day it's an idea to the day it ships or dies. A thing's stage is written on the page, never in its URL — so a link you share today still works when the thing it points at has changed its mind.

Ideas go up before they're built, half-formed and arguable, on the theory that the fastest way to kill a bad one is to describe it to someone who has already tried. When one gets talked out of, it stays up with the reason attached rather than quietly disappearing.

Progress gets logged as it happens, in dated field notes on the thing's own page, and those notes flow into the writing and the changelog. It's a build log, not an announcement channel.

The rules this site holds itself to

What's here

Each of those runs on its own domain, with its own account system and its own billing. This site introduces them; it doesn't host them. Everything, including the unfinished half.

Getting in touch

support@landofawz.com. I reply within a couple of business days. Feature requests by email are the main reason these tools change.
