Knowledgebase is coming soon
Tonight I added a ticketing system to the website, so it is now possible to communicate with me about the Show Runner app from directly inside this website. Click “Open a Ticket,” fill out the form that’s presented, and then submit. I will respond back to you from within the website, too. I think that…
Why I built Hexfield
I wanted to address the reasons why I built a news curating application. We do not consume news today in the same way that we once did one or two decades ago. It used to be that we relied mainly on newspapers, radio, and television for our news. We learned about news when publishers or…

My development process has been very iterative, and I am not sure if describing the group of features this way made it hard for the AI to keep up, or what. My assumption was that Base44 would implement the same navigation…
Addition of Stations
Show Runner now features the concept of Station. This will provide video creators with a way to organize the shows that are available into playlists. So, in the way that we have channels centered around sports, cooking, or history, Show Runner can feature stations that focus on their own themes, or it could air a…
