The situation

Lists of free data services go stale. Half the entries are dead by the time you find them, and there is no way to test one without writing code first.

What I built

I built a curated directory of more than sixty services, each testable directly in the page. A keyboard shortcut opens instant search, and filters narrow by category, cost and whether a key is required. An automated check runs every day and flags anything that has gone offline, so the list stays honest.

What it lets people do

  • Search 60+ services by category, cost, or sign-up requirement
  • Test a service in the page before writing any code
  • See at a glance which ones are currently working

Under the hood

The tools this is built with. You do not need to know any of them to use it — open one if you are curious what it does.

If you're considering working together

How a project actually goes

No jargon, no long contract to decode, and no stage where you are asked to approve something you cannot picture.

  1. 01

    We talk about the problem

    Not the software — the problem. What is slow, what gets forgotten, what people keep having to redo by hand. Usually one call is enough to see the shape of it.

  2. 02

    I write down what I heard

    In plain language, before any building starts, so you can correct me while it is still cheap to correct. You approve it or you don't.

  3. 03

    You see it early and often

    Working pieces, not screenshots or promises. If something is wrong, you say so while there is still time to change it.

  4. 04

    It goes live and stays supported

    Hosting, domain and setup handled. The Valley O'Ville site has been running since 2023 — I don't disappear after launch.
