About

The short version, in pencil.

Hi, I'm Ray Nothnagel. I run Vector Visionary Studio, where I design and build small, focused apps — currently Pen Arcade, a puzzle collection for e-ink tablets, Segno Score, a rehearsal companion for choir singers, and Whereverbook, an offline Wikipedia reader.

I build with AI-assisted programming tools, and I sweat the details of how things feel to use: the weight of a pen stroke, the calm of a screen with nothing flashing on it, software that respects your attention.

I care about tools that do one thing well — and about making them feel hand-made.

— Ray
