Principles
How I run it
- No login
- Checklists, calculations, and document generation all run in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
- No personal data
- Names, emails, and phone numbers are never stored server-side. Only anonymous visit analytics.
- Free
- All tools are free. Ads cover the hosting bill. If pro features are ever added, the free tier stays.
- Open sources
- Case law, statutes, and public datasets used in each tool are cited on its page.
- Experts first
- Each tool is advisory. For actual decisions, consult a licensed professional (labor attorney, lawyer, CPA).
- Mistakes happen
- If you spot a calculation or legal error, let me know. I aim to fix within 24 hours.
About
Why I built this
In Korea, ordinary employees, small-business owners, and renters face a lot of repetitive paperwork, calculations, and judgment calls. Government sites are heavy and require logins or digital certificates; paid platforms have a high bar. This personal project fills that gap with free micro web tools.
Korea-specific tools are the core, but language-agnostic developer and media utilities live on the same infrastructure. Each tool deploys independently to its own subdomain on top of a shared stack (microsaas-infra).
One person ships all of this — plan, design, code, deploy. User feedback and bug reports are the biggest motivator.
