One thing about software development is that it involves writing a lot of code. Another thing about writing a lot of code is that you probably shouldn�t write all of it from scratch every time. That would be like reinventing double-entry bookkeeping for each new business venture � technically possible, sure, but there�s a reason accountants don�t start by debating the metaphysical nature of debits and credits with each new client.
So here are some tools you might find useful. They�re all on GitHub under MIT licenses, which means you can use them without calling your lawyer, a rare pleasure in modern business life:
Rare Styles: A style library for rapid development, for those moments when you need a button that looks like a button before your next funding round closes.
11ty Scripts Collection: for simple websites, because sometimes you just need something that works without explaining to your CEO what “static site generation” means while they glance anxiously at their watch.
Pontivox: A free feedback server, since collecting user opinions should be easier than collecting on accounts receivable from that one client. You know the one.
BookKeeper: Zoho Books synchronization script, which solves a problem you probably didn’t know you had until tax season arrived and suddenly became the most important problem in your professional life.
Feel free to use these. Contribute if you�d like. The nice thing about open-source tools is that unlike most financial instruments, their value tends to increase the more people use them, without requiring a single roadshow presentation or term sheet.
