SayHi

Founders

A page for the person, beside the company site.

The company site sells the product. A founder page says who is building it, what you are responsible for, and how a relevant person reaches you without the support inbox.

Languages, tools, and the notes between them

The page, at full width

A modular grid is hard to judge inside a phone frame. This is the page at full width.

Languages, tools, and the notes between them

I design small languages and the CLIs that keep them honest. Currently at Harbor Labs, previously on the typechecker for a research notebook that got out of hand in the best way.

San Francisco

Now

Building Ink, a typed notebook format for people who write with code sitting next to the sentence. Harbor is the CLI around it — evals, snapshots, and a boringly reliable local workflow.

GitHub

harbor-labs/ink

A typed notebook format. Prose, code, and tests in one file that still diffs like a human wrote it.

TypeScript · local-first

GitHub

harbor-labs/harbor

The CLI for Ink: run, snapshot, and compare notebooks without standing up a service.

Rust · CLITypes as documentation — Northshore ConfTalk notes and slides

Writing

Occasional notes on type systems that stay out of the way, local-first tools, and why most developer portfolios look like résumé PDFs with extra steps.

Write to AlexSlow email, real replies.

Work with me

Tell me about the project. I read every note.

Keep the company site where it is

Do not turn SayHi into a startup homepage. Link the product. Use this URL for the person.

01

What you are building, in one breath

A text block. The product name, who it is for, and your role. No vision paragraph.

02

Proof that is a thing

A launch, a customer sentence you have permission to use, a talk, a previous company. One or two. Not a chart of hope.

03

The product, as a link

The company site stays the company site. This page points at it.

04

A door that is not support@

Email for partnerships, hiring, or press. Say which. The contact form can ask for a company.

Indie hackers are not a smaller founder page

Founder

A company exists, or is being started, and this URL is the person next to it.

Indie hacker

The projects are the company. The page is a build log and a few shipped things, not a team story.

Templates for this work

Studio

Short and direct. A reasonable founder default.

Minimal

When the writing is the point and the product link should not shout.

Make it yours

Split the URLs

Product site for customers. This page for people who searched your name.

Delete the metrics you cannot show

SayHi will not display MRR. Do not type a number you would not say on a stage.

Use it where your name is the query

X, a conference, an investor update, the GitHub website field if the product is the code.

Questions

Is this a startup landing page?

No. If you need pricing, signup, and a product tour, that is a different site. Link it.

Can I put the whole team here?

You can name them in a sentence. SayHi is a personal page, not an about-us CMS.

Do you generate a pitch deck?

No. The page is public and short. The deck is a file you link if you want to.

For

Starting points for developers, designers, artists, writers, and other kinds of work.

Indie hackers

Shipped projects, a now note, and a way to reach the person.

Personal website

One designed page for a personal homepage: bio, work, projects, and a URL.

Minimal personal websites

Type and a few true blocks, in Minimal and in Studio.

X link

The website field on X should make sense without the thread.
