I built Toolipie to solve my own script chaos — a local-first Swiss-army knife that organizes the tiny tools I use every day. It turns one-off snippets into reusable plugins, avoids ad-filled online tools, and keeps everything consistent and private. The CLI/TUI is open-source, and the long-term vision includes optional AI-generated tools and MCP integration.

In three weeks, I used AI as a pair-programmer to build real products—from websites to a TUI toolbox—by letting AI handle scaffolding while I focused on architecture, debugging, and design.
