At the height of Wordle's popularity, I made a colleague guess a five letter word via Slack. I gave them hints by manually replying with the green and yellow square emoji. That's when I thought to myself "there ought to be a way to automate this!".
I sat down and created the first working prototype on a Friday night, coding until 3am.

How did you find your first customers?

They found me! A few people started reaching out, asking about bespoke and customized solutions. They rejected my first quote - because it was too high for what they imagined.
When the second company reached out, it dawned on me that customizable Wordle pages are a niche I could fill, so I started building the SaaS part.
