the person behind the podge.

Hi there! I’m Brett Bejcek. hodgepodge is the app I built because my closest friends are scattered across the country, and our group chat (which I love) is mostly memes and links. I had no idea what any of them actually did on a given Tuesday. Not the big stuff. The errands. The weird lunch. The thing they couldn’t stop thinking about.

Around the same time, I’d started writing down a few things each morning. Not a productivity system, just answering one question: what am I actually doing today? It took two minutes and it changed how the whole day felt. I tried every app to combine the two habits. Social apps wanted me to perform. Productivity tools made it feel like a job. So I made the thing I wanted to exist: a shared journal for ordinary days. Tasks, a photo, a thought. Your people see the real version. A Tuesday, not a highlight reel.

If you want the longer story, it’s here: why I built a social network for random Tuesdays.
