Why I built Hexfield
I wanted to address the reasons why I built a news curating application. We do not consume news today in the same way that we once did one or two decades ago. It used to be that we relied mainly on newspapers, radio, and television for our news. We learned about news when publishers or…
Introducing the Hexfield App
Today, I would like to tell you about a new web app called Hexfield which allows people to curate the news. I have been searching for an easy way to gather the bits of local news that I see all of the time, and really there wasn’t anything that fit my needs. That’s why I…
Introducing ShowRunner, Version 2
I was reluctant to do it, but over the last week I have been planning a revamp of Show Runner. I had made a lot of progress with it, but for some reason the different sections just won’t gelling together. I think this is because I took a very iterative approach to developing the app,…

Development has entered a second more tedious stage where I try to clean up a few rough spots on the Show Runner application while choosing which features I will introduce next. I’m using AI to create the site, and while this is faster than I am at programming (note: I am not a programmer), I’m…
User Types
Users on Show Runner fall under different types which are all granted different levels of access and abilities.
Addition of Stations
Show Runner now features the concept of Station. This will provide video creators with a way to organize the shows that are available into playlists. So, in the way that we have channels centered around sports, cooking, or history, Show Runner can feature stations that focus on their own themes, or it could air a…
Changelog: 3/24/2026
The following improvements have been deployed to the Show Runner app: I have added a user forum to this website which will allow discussion of desired features.
Knowledgebase is coming soon
Tonight I added a ticketing system to the website, so it is now possible to communicate with me about the Show Runner app from directly inside this website. Click “Open a Ticket,” fill out the form that’s presented, and then submit. I will respond back to you from within the website, too. I think that…
