COMPASS: An App Platform for One

Every serious builder eventually hits the same wall: the tools you use don't talk to each other, your projects live in different mental contexts, and context-switching is where productivity goes to die.

COMPASS is my answer to that.

It's a personal app platform, a suite of internal tools built on a shared design system, a shared routing philosophy, and a shared data layer. Each tool (I call them Sparks) is its own focused thing: a CRM, a newsroom, a task system, an XP tracker. But they all speak the same language.

The philosophy is Atomic Design taken seriously. Atoms, Molecules, Organisms, Templates, Views, strict boundaries, no shortcuts. Each layer knows its job. Components don't reach above themselves. Files stay lean.

Most people would use Notion or Obsidian or Airtable and stitch them together with integrations. That works until it doesn't. I wanted something that fit my brain, the way I think about work, projects, priorities.

So I built it. It runs locally. It's never going down.
