Now

What I'm on right now.

A short snapshot of where Knack is this week and what I'm spending my time on. Updated when the answer materially changes (usually every two or three weeks).

Last updated 10 May 2026.

Building

Pack #2: Indie Hacker Launch. The launch-week system for solo founders shipping their second-to-fifth product. Authoring through May, soft launch to a tester cohort early June, public launch the week after. The beta page is live at /packs/indie-hacker-launch, and the tester signup form is open.

Solo Consultant Ops at v1.1.1. Stable, in buyers' hands. Patches ship when something breaks; new skill work is paused while Pack #2 builds.

Distributing

The free Knack Starter Pack is live. Two skills, MIT-licensed, free Polar checkout, public on GitHub. The job this quarter is to get it into the hands of solo founders and indie hackers, partly so paid Pack #2 launches into an audience instead of a void.

Active channels this month: weekly long-form posts on the Knack blog, directory submissions (awesome-claude-code, There's An AI For That, Indie Hackers products), and tester-recruitment DMs on LinkedIn and X.

Writing

Roughly one operator-grade pillar post a week. Recent ones: the Claude Code stack for indie hackers, how to clarify a startup idea in five minutes, and the proposal copy-paste failure mode. Next on the list is a Pack #2 teaser piece on launch-week operations.

Looking for

Testers for Pack #2. Solo founders shipping a product in the next four weeks who want early access to the Indie Hacker Launch pack in exchange for blunt feedback. Apply via the beta page.
Operators with a pack idea of their own. If you run a specific role solo (newsletter, YouTube, AI agent, fractional whatever) and you've already shaped the workflow inside Claude Code, get in touch about authoring or co-authoring a pack: hello@knack.run.

Not on the list

Skill Score is parked until Pack #2 ships and conversion data tells me whether the catalogue needs it. New pack ideas (AI Builder, YouTuber, Newsletter Operator) are queued for after Pack #2 lands. Anything infrastructure-shaped that doesn't make the next blog post or pack ship faster sits in the parking lot.

Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page idea. See /about for what Knack is, and /changelog for what's shipped.
