About
About This Site#
- The title refers to “The Miniature Boat” (核舟記) — a classical Chinese text about an impossibly detailed carving on a tiny boat. It means this site can’t carry much, just small crafts and the joy of making things, leaving behind a trace of information.
- Here I share real examples of using AI to help build apps, make small tools, and improve everyday efficiency — along with ideas, reflections, and setbacks.
- I won’t rehash the hot takes everyone’s already discussing. In short, the focus is on the process of mining, not repeatedly introducing the shovel.
About Me#
- QQder — Taiwan-based sysadmin & indie developer · [email protected]
- Until age 24, I identified as a humanities person. After that, I became a system administrator (the “admin” that error messages tell you to contact).
- I use AI in a punk rock way — simple chords, rough technique, but genuine expression.
- The blog posts here are written by me — the ideas and the first draft are mine, and the editing is done by me together with AI. Other language versions are machine-translated. The fun parts should be enjoyed firsthand.
My apps#
Nine shipped iOS apps. Each has a landing page, a support page, and a privacy policy — those exist because App Review requires a public URL for every app, and inside the apps they are reached from the About screen, so you rarely need to come here for them. If you do want to browse:
- All apps — store, support, and privacy links on one page, with the development logs above them.
Philosophy#
- Experience is ownership — experiencing something new takes priority over whether it can make money.
- Success doesn’t have to be mine — if someone else is willing to do the same thing and does it better, I’ll find something else to work on.

- AI is this era’s new medium for extending human life.
