2025 in Review
The year OneBookPlus became real — and the groundwork for the build year that followed.
Built
The headline of 2025: a side project became a real product.
- OneBookPlus — founded the all-in-one platform for Australian SMBs: invoicing, CRM, bookings, accounting, marketing, and an AI Companion in one app, replacing the Xero + HubSpot + Calendly + Mailchimp stack.
Wrote
Kept the writing habit going across the shelf — technical SEO, entity SEO, AI Overviews, and the shift to AI-driven search, on Search Insights Academy and Supple Digital.
Taught
Grew Search Insights Academy — the educational platform and AI-SEO podcast (with J and Mini), with frameworks now used by multiple agencies.
Into 2026 — the build year
Shipped Codetta — the lightweight, Electron-free code editor with first-class BYOK AI (Tauri 2 + Rust) on macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus an npm CLI. Publicly launched OneBookPlus (web, with an iOS beta on TestFlight) and took its AI Companion into production. And rebuilt bishal.com.au by hand — a proper writing hub, a heritage page, structured data throughout, and a Ctrl+K “ask my site” terminal (try it). A few spells are hidden in here, too — and there’s more coming.
