Kindled Flame Studios is one person building the things nobody else will.
I couldn't find the tools I needed. So I built them.
No degree. No funding. No team. Just stubbornness, a lot of late nights, and the kind of obsession that doesn't let you sleep until the thing works.
CinderACE is the first thing out the door — a browser extension that exports your AI conversations from 14 platforms, including things no other tool even attempts. It's not perfect, but it's real, and it's mine.
More is coming. A lot more. The roadmap has the full picture — AI platforms, games, books, and ideas that have been stockpiling for over a year. Some of them are almost ready. Some are still just a spark. But every single one exists because I cared enough to start building it.
Because you can't create a flame. You can only give it air and shelter and refuse to let it die.
That's the philosophy behind everything here. I don't believe in building products that treat people — or their data, or their creativity, or the things they care about — as disposable. I believe in tools that liberate instead of lock in. Platforms that preserve instead of extract. Stories that endure instead of trend.
Every project under this roof exists because something was missing in the world and I got tired of waiting for someone else to build it.
If I build it, you own what comes out of it. No harvesting. No uploads. No "we may use your data to improve our services." Yours means yours.
Ideas are easy. Execution is everything. CinderACE exists because I finished building it — not because I pitched it. Every project on the roadmap follows the same rule: it ships when it's real, not when it sounds good.
"Going for 'it just works' is asking for problems later." I'd rather take longer and get it right than rush something that falls apart the moment someone depends on it.
I build in public when I can. Dev logs, progress updates, and the occasional existential crisis — all on X.
