PulseWriter is my “write once, publish everywhere” experiment—small, fast, and aligned with my values of Health and Family. Here’s how it came to life and why it matters.

A bigger life transformation 🌱

For me, business transformation isn’t just a buzzword — it’s become the lens through which I live.

I root everything in two values:

  • Health 🧠💪 — physical, financial, mental, educational. If I collapse in one area, I lose the power to act.
  • Family 👨‍👩‍👦 — my close family first, but also humanity as a whole. The way to serve is to start by “cleaning my own room”: taking microsteps that strengthen my health, which then ripple outward.

From these values flow my goals:

  • Operational: daily actions that keep me strong and balanced.
  • Tactical: building tools that free time and mental energy.
  • Strategic: creating systems (income flows, automation, open source) that sustain my family and contribute to the wider human family.

Why PulseWriter? 🚀

This philosophy led me to a simple frustration: I wanted to share my thoughts online. But every platform — blog, LinkedIn, X, Dev.to — demanded a different format. Copy-pasting was not just boring, it was draining.

So I asked: what if I could write once, and let a tool transform it for me?

That became PulseWriter: my “write once, publish everywhere” experiment. Not a Markdown slicer — but a tool that uses AI and prompt libraries to craft drafts suited to each platform.

How I built it (from a sofa) 🛋️

The first attempt was messy: broken imports, missing modules, a README pointing to a non-existent command.

But with help from today’s tools, it came together quickly:

  • Codex and ChatGPT for debugging and fixes.
  • VS Code and GitHub Copilot for rapid coding.
  • IntelliJ IDEA for day-to-day (sorry Microsoft — but as a Java engineer doing a Python project, IntelliJ feels natural).

And the kicker: I built it in just a few hours, lying on a sofa at my parents’ place, on an old Microsoft Surface Go 3. No desk. No big setup. Just stubbornness and focus.

Within hours, PulseWriter went from broken to working:

pulsewriter transform post.md --platforms blog linkedin x devto --out-dir out

And out came four drafts — one for each platform.

What it does today ✨

Right now PulseWriter:

  • Reads a single Markdown file.
  • Generates drafts for Blog, LinkedIn, X, Dev.to using Jinja2 templates.
  • Saves hours of repetitive formatting.

Here are the first outputs it produced:

The X version still needs work — but it’s a start. The magic is seeing one idea flow instantly into multiple formats.

Where it’s going 🔭

This is just step one.

The vision is for PulseWriter to:

  • Use AI + prompt libraries to tailor outputs, not just slice text.
  • Adapt prompts based on my reactions (with another open-source tool I’m planning).
  • Tie into n8n workflows so drafts don’t just get generated, but also published.
  • Explore tools like Tessl to map feature lists and generate the products I need for myself, my family, and humanity.

PulseWriter will grow. But the deeper transformation is already here:

Each microstep makes me healthier, more focused, and more able to contribute to my close and extended family.

Closing thought 💭

Business transformation doesn’t have to start in a boardroom. It can start with one person, two values, a sofa, an old Surface Go 3 — and the decision to fix a messy repo.

Even one person can treat every microstep as quality business — creating value, growing health, and making the world a bit better.
