I've taken blogs from completely blank slates to hundreds of thousands of pageviews every month. This is now my primary focus.My strategy involves throwing most SEO industry buzzwords into the garbage and setting the priority #1 goal to providing the reader with an incredible experience.

It was an interesting exploration of an open source business model that I believe could've been successful.I am still very interested in continuing this project and believe there is still a strong need but I am just crunched for time for now. Successes of this project included learning about strong encryption models, structuring a project with modularity from the ground up, building with computing efficiency in mind, and creating several software libraries that developers may use in their own projects.Languages such as C++, Python, and Javascript are used. I work with popular frameworks and libraries like Django, Django Rest Framework, VueJS, Qt5, and libsodium.Vibrato Notes is a completely open-source note-taking application that will be available for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Android, and iOS. This piece of software operates under an open-source business model - a SaaS that offers its cloud synchronization services. An impressive feat of this project is its secure client-side encryption. The user will have full control of their data and no one organization will ever have access to it. Complete freedom to the users. Show less
