Adam Jones · Full-stack developer
Useful software, designed, built and run end to end.
I make products for iOS, Android and the web: AI characters to chat and train with, public-data tools for Australians, and focused apps for small communities. Each one does one job well and keeps running after launch.
Projects
What's live and what's next. The free apps have no ads, and optional donations never unlock features.
ChatBoo
Live on the webFree AI characters to chat with: stories, mysteries, games and study help, safe for everyone 13+. Native iPhone and Android apps are on the way.
Australian Poll
LiveIndependent polling and research, with free tools to explore Australian public data: the Census, elections, political donations, government contracts and the live power grid.
Lifetree
Live on the webA free, illustrated tree of life for curious people with no biology background. See how a mushroom, an octopus and you are related, and when your family lines split. Every branch has its own animated picture.
AStack
BetaUnreal-quality AI characters in any browser. Teams build training role-plays, product guides and interactive characters on one session API, with voice, rendering and streaming handled for them.
Foster Care Journal
Planned · in validationA shared care record for volunteer pet foster carers and the rescue coordinators who receive their updates. Record an update once, let the coordinator review it, and hand a complete history to the next carer.
More to come
Future apps are chosen from an idea catalog and validated with real users before anything is built.
How I build
- End to end. Design, native and web clients, backend, infrastructure and the running service afterwards.
- Native where it counts. SwiftUI and Compose on phones and Next.js on the web, or shared React Native code when that suits the app better.
- Safe and private by design. AI and user content is checked before anyone sees it, with little personal data and plain-language privacy policies.
- Accessible by default. Light and dark themes, readable contrast, keyboard support and layouts that work on phones and desktops.
