Josh Wootonn

I'm a product engineer at Makeswift.

I'm passionate about building creative tools that are sexy and fast. I built Type the Word, a typing practice tool where you type through the Bible, and I'm currently building 42colors, a pixel art editor.

I tend to go down rabbit holes finding out "why" and this blog is my way of "reporting back" with what I've discovered.
