Spindle was made independently by me, Cong Cao. In my spare time between work and kids.

Currently based in Singapore. By day I'm a Product Manager for Back Market, a leading marketplace selling refubished products. I love to create, and everything you see here is created with AI tools. Mostly Cursor. I see AI as a tool to help us hone our craft, whatever that craft may be.

Spindle has been a labour of love for me, igniting fond memories of my early years as a UX designer. Debating about the minutiae of design with my colleagues.

The rise of AI is a shift, not a wall. Don't hide from it. Embrace it as a powerful addition to your toolkit

AI creates layers of abstraction to whatever you use it for, so use it with pure, unabated abject curiosity for how things work. Curiosity will mitigate the inevitable atrophy of your craft should you use it blindly.

These engines don't think; they calculate. You think first. They are here to amplify your imagination, not replace it. Always lead with the human mind.
