Why I built this
I set this up for my dad first. He's a lawyer.
What he wanted was simple to say: all his documents and notes in one place, something he could ask questions and have it know his stuff. The tool that does that is called Claude Code.
He's not a coding guy. So why would he ever open something called Claude Code, and how would he have known it was the thing he wanted, when the name is telling him it isn't for him?
And supposing he'd gotten that far: on my laptop the whole thing took an afternoon. On his it stopped at step one, because it needed some programming tool he'd never heard of, which, of course, he didn't have. He's a lawyer.
That's the moment it clicked. The thing I'd assumed was easy was only easy because of a hundred small things I knew without realizing I knew them: which tool to reach for, what it quietly needs installed underneath, all of it. None of that is his job. It shouldn't have to be.
