I’ve been quietly building something. Visteras is a browser-based creative suite built around a simple idea: powerful creative tools should be accessible to everyone. Image editing. Vector design. Collage. Publishing. And more to come. No downloads. Just open a browser and create.

I’m building a graphics editor on my new Omarchy rig (and I knew I mean 2015 MacBook Pro). Would love for you to check it out at visteras.com

Wow! Didn’t realize how poorly I typed this on my first go. *(and by new, I mean 2015 MacBook Pro)

Just built an Omarchy plugin that lets me choose which monitor my Wacom Tablet controls, and then define exactly which region of that monitor it maps to.

I'm building a Web-based, PSD-compatible graphics editor for my new Omarchy computer. Got Wacom tablet/stylus brush sensitivity working last night!

I'm working on a web-based Photoshop alternative. It's a heavily vibe-coded fork of miniPaint. I've added an easter egg for Omarchy fans: Ctrl + Alt + 4 Still a work in progress, but I'd love for you to check it out: mjmacfadden.github.io/photoc…

Just revived a 2015 MacBook Pro that I thought was at end of life with Omarchy. Thanks @DHH!

Building AffiliCart comes with fun side quests, apparently πŸ˜‚. So I made a free Chrome Extension that grabs the ASIN from any Amazon page in one click. It’s now my favorite part of the workflow. Real talk: if you add products to carts or do Amazon content, this little tool is a game-changer. Who else loves useful micro-tools like this?

POV: Me marketing my micro-SaaS business. If you're a WordPress + Amazon Associates creator, please try the free Light version of my plugin and tell me if I'm doing this right.

This is exactly who I built AffiliCart Pro for. The perfect overlap between WordPress and Amazon Associates. β†’ Better shopping experience for your readers β†’ More conversions β†’ More earnings Real on-site cart + size variants + one-click Amazon checkout. No more losing readers after a single link. What do you think? Does this intersection make sense for affiliate creators?

Indie maker life: rejected from the WordPress directory (for now). Instead of getting discouraged, I’m just doubling down on my own site and building directly for the creators I want to help. Sometimes the best path is the one you control yourself.
