Hey, I'm Cathryn 👋
Founder of BestSelf Co — bootstrapped to $55M+, sold to PE in 2022, bought it back in 2024.
The shift
I spent years hiring developers to build my ideas. Now I build them myself using Claude Code, Codex, and learning more every day.
What I've built

- openclaw-ops !Stars — Operations skill: health checks, repair scripts, watchdogs, update triage, security scans.
- codex-skill !Stars — Give Claude Code a second opinion using OpenAI Codex — automatic plan review via hooks.
- voice-memo-organizer !Stars — Organizes hundreds of Apple Voice Memos into a searchable archive with transcriptions and summaries. No API keys needed.

- spend-optimizer !Stars — Audit subscriptions and optimize credit card rewards.
- shopify-developer-skill !Stars — Shopify expertise for Claude Code — verifies current APIs before coding.
- problem-solver-skill !Stars — Systematic problem diagnosis using progressive disclosure.
- shiprank !Stars — Public leaderboard for developers who ship. Live at shiprank.dev.

- Infrastructure + monitoring: Cloud Run Admin, Sentry

Writing
I write Little Might — for operators getting technical, and builders learning to operate. I go deep on one hard thing at a time, then write down exactly how to do it yourself.
