      <title><![CDATA[Why CBZ Files Are Format Traps (And Why This App Exists)]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[CBZ files take up half your drive. Transferring them to iPad is a nightmare. Once you finish one, you can't just browse your cloud library and pick the next book. Kindle and Google Play Books don't recognize them at all. Here's what happened when I tried to actually organize my comic collection.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ChapterForge for macOS was supposed to ship first. Instead, I got stuck, shipped a Windows version in three months, then spent four more months trying to make the Mac version 'better' with features nobody asked for.

      <title><![CDATA[How One User's Brutal Feedback Fixed My Audiobook Converter in 2 Weeks]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Building software alone creates blind spots. I documented features before building them, shipped half-functional code, and convinced myself it was fine. Then a user named Paul sent a line-by-line audit of everything that didn't work. His brutal honesty led to seven fixes in two weeks. This is that story, plus what Reddit's technical users taught me about codec handling, metadata scope, and building software people actually want to use.]]></description>
