Why I Started Made by Yong

Building small tools to make complicated things simpler.

I care a lot about efficiency. I don’t mind spending hours on something I enjoy. But repeating the same boring task again and again — especially when I know there’s a better way — really bothers me. It feels like wasting time.

So I often ask myself: Can this be simpler?

Sometimes the answer is changing the way I do something. Sometimes it’s automation. And sometimes, I just build a small tool.

Why Made by Yong?

The name is simple. Yong is part of my name, and I plan to build a lot of small things here. So I called it Made by Yong.

I like small tools that solve one problem well. They don’t need to be huge products. If a tool can save a few minutes, remove a repetitive step, make something easier to understand, or simply be fun to use, then it has already done something useful.

What I’ll Share Here

Mostly three things:

  • Tools — small tools I build for problems I run into.
  • Learning notes — useful things I learn and want to remember.
  • Thoughts — ideas about efficiency, technology, products, and anything else I find interesting.

I don’t know exactly what this website will become yet. For now, I just want to keep exploring interesting problems, build useful things, and share them here.

If something I make saves you a little time or helps you solve a problem, I’ll be glad it helped.

Welcome to Made by Yong.
