Sliding-scale pricing means small businesses, grassroots orgs, queer projects, and folks starting over online all get access without being bled dry.

If you’re ready for tech that puts you back in control, my inbox is open.

With Spyteware Studio, I’m building the opposite: tools you can actually own. Secure, sustainable, and free to modify as your needs evolve. Tech that answers to people, not profit.

That model keeps shareholders happy... but it leaves people with less control, fewer choices, and no real say in the tools they rely on every day.

Big Tech’s dream is simple: subscription for everything. Pay forever, own nothing, and rent your own work back at a markup.

While Silicon Valley builds cages, I build exits. 🚪 If your team needs digital safety, automation, or web solutions that don’t bleed you dry, my inbox is open.

Spyteware Studio is open for new clients. Sliding scale, no gatekeeping. Small biz, grassroots orgs, queer projects, or anyone hitting reset online—you deserve tools that are safe, sustainable, and yours to control.

Prepping for a client consult today ✨ Every project starts with the same question: how do we strip away the nonsense and make tech actually serve people instead of profit margins?

Big Tech wants lock-in, data grabs, and subscription fees that multiply like gremlins. I want the opposite. That’s why I built Spyteware Studio.

Too many platforms treat safety as an afterthought.

I wanted to ask: what if it was the foundation instead?

What features would make you feel safer in your online spaces?

#DigitalSafety #CommunityTech #OpenToFeedback

-> Secured with Cloudflare, firewall, and fail2ban
-> Moderator tools for access control, mutes, warnings, and rules-only spaces
-> A focus on privacy + usability, so communities keep control of their own spaces

This is not production-ready by any means currently. Just a privacy experiment.

At Spyteware Studio, I've been building a private messaging server designed around safety and community.

Debating on fleshing this out into a full production-scale app. Hoping some other #privacy enthusiasts (and maybe the #development crowd) will weigh in.

Here's what I'm working with:

Left menu of the in-development "Spyteware Studio" website. The site name is centered at the top, the menu in the middle shows pages: home, services, portfolio, pricing, contact. Icons for LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Ko-fi are arranged horizontally at the bottom, just above "Copyright 2025, Spyteware Studio"

Introducing the full desktop menu as the next #SpyteSiteUpdate! More update previews to come today, the site is almost ready for launch 🚀

Hi! I'm probably a random account that was followed, but I'd like to suggest enabling 2FA for every account tied to that same email address, and change all of your passwords, especially if you reused them. Use a password manager to make it easier to have unique passwords for every account.

#SpyteSiteUpdate Going to switch from regular CSS to #Tailwind. What are your pros and cons about Tailwind?

Menu of the new Spyteware Studio website (in progress). The studio name is at the top followed by five pages, aligned vertically: Home, Services, Portfolio, Pricing, Contact.

Here's the first #SpyteSiteUpdate, a bare-bones menu, but with some CSS logic to indicate the current page with <here></here> tags, and a #JavaScript animated ellipsis beside.
Stay tuned for more updates!

I'm using a combination of #markdown and #liquid!

Don't forget Teams:

Building a new and improved site for Spyteware Studio using #11ty! Will be posting updates and progress peeks at the site until the full launch. Stay tuned!

Are you a queer individual needing to lockdown your digital life? Have you been doxxed and need to start over?
Spyteware Studio offers free consultations, advice included, and assistance with locking down your online profiles at a sliding scale charge. Pay what you can, and I'll do the rest.

Meme of two unicorns, one in a field of flowers and the other looking worn out and beaten down. Text under the flowery unicorn: "SaaS according to the sales team" Text under the worn out unicorn: "$250/month base, $29.99/month add-ons just to have the features you were promised"

SaaS sounds great — until the subscription fees hit, and you realize you need 3-4 add-ons (at additional cost) for all of the features you were promised.
Spyteware Studio offers sliding scale payments for services, and no subscription fees to continue using the products.

What’s one digital safety myth you wish more folks understood?

I'll go first: VPNs aren't the be-all-end-all of privacy. Useful? Necessary in today's world? Absolutely, but definitely not fool-proof.

#DigitalSafety #Cybersecurity #VPN

If you need a script, a site, a safety plan — or just someone to help you figure out where to start — Spyteware Studio is here for that.

Because tech should protect people.
Not just profits.

#AccessibleTech #QueerTech #MutualAid #DigitalSafety

Everything I offer runs on a sliding scale, because tech should not be a luxury.

Whether you’re a trans person in crisis, a tiny collective, or a well-funded org helping subsidize others, I’ll meet you where you are.

I build websites that don’t spy.
I automate the stuff no one should have to do manually.
I help folks lock down their digital lives before they get targeted.
I write weird little tools that give people more control, not less.
