Dante Galeazzi

Solo founder building Sted, a saved-links library, and the Shimpaku bonsai focus timer

About Dante Galeazzi

Dante Galeazzi is a solo founder who builds apps with AI, in public, focusing on products he uses himself.

His main product is Sted, which lets people save links, posts, videos, podcasts and articles (including X bookmarks) from any app, then reads each save and writes summaries and key ideas so the library becomes useful. His personal site notes that Sted was built for a RevenueCat program. He also makes Shimpaku, a quiet Pomodoro-style focus timer for iPhone and Android where each finished session waters a hand-drawn bonsai that grows through six stages, with no account or ads.
