Robin Kelmen
Solo founder shipping software where getting the number right matters — billing, payroll, tax data. Every value traces back to where it came from.
Work
-
Compliance Ledger live · compliance.kelmen.space
A data layer for compliance numbers that defend themselves. Every value links to its source URL, verbatim quote, and the human who signed it.
-
LumenBill live · lumenbill.app
Two-sided billing for freelancers and the people who pay them. Money is the object. Both sides see the same truth.
-
Numbaroll live · numbaroll.com
Household payroll for families with a nanny or caregiver — pay stubs, tax withholding, and year-end forms with every number cited.
-
Specimen in build
A canvas app for thinking. Three modes — quick sketch, start project, open existing. Still cooking — needs polish and BYO-API-key support across LLM providers before it ships.
-
Present in build
You place a point. The color remembers where you were. A reflection app — still in build, no live landing yet.
-
Video-in-a-code experiments live · research demo
Research demos: a 60-second video packed into one scannable color code, and a 10-minute film that plays from 130 chained QR codes. Not products — proofs that the idea holds.
-
Feedy live · widget
Real apps grow faster than any solo dev can test. Users know what's broken before the team does. Feedy is a drop-in widget that turns their feedback into structured GitHub issues — for human or agentic review, ready to ship. The ghost on this card is one — click it.
