Toronto / SF

I'm Yoav,

I've spent the last 20 years in startups as a lead engineer inventing key technologies and systems at various small and unicorn startups. Millions of people use software I wrote every day to earn a living. I also spent a few years as an engineering manager mentoring junior managers and engineers from apprentice to staff+.

I'm now sort-of-retired and run a startup lab Blackboard Technologies Inc. (https://blackboard.sh) where I'm building all the ideas I've accumulated over the years, and spend time helping founders of all kinds get started.

I open source the tooling and frameworks I've developed under MIT licenses and build as much capability into them as I can so everyone can be empowered to build and ship like I do.

My active open source projects currently include:

  • Electrobun (https://electrobun.dev): Build ultra fast, tiny, and cross-platform desktop apps with Typescript.
  • Eggbun (https://eggbun.sh): A new breed of code editor mixed with a browser to bring code and NoCode into the same environment. [Currently being rewritten on Electrobun and open sourced]
  • GoldfishDB: A document database with typescript schemas, data migrations, and inferred document types designed for iterating fast that doesn't need a build step. [Powers the Eggbun Beta desktop app, Currently in the process of open sourcing]
  • lots more to come

I'm bootstrapping the startup studio and prefer to write code instead of putting on the business hat so the more my open source work is sponsored the more time and energy I can spend maintaining these open source projects and the more projects I can open source for the community.
