Like many CTOs, I often find myself balancing between high-level strategy and staying hands-on with the tools that matter — coding, shipping, and keeping up with modern infrastructure.

PulseOne started as a personal exercise to keep my technical edge. I wanted to stay fluent with Cloudflare Workers, experiment with modern JavaScript, and explore how AI could enhance content delivery — all while solving a very real pain point I felt daily: keeping up with tech news without the clutter.

What began as a sandbox for skills is now a product I use every morning — and as of today, it’s live in public beta.

From Inception to MVP: A CTO’s Perspective

The initial idea was simple: create a single place where tech professionals — starting with myself — could find high-signal updates without endlessly scrolling through fragmented sources.

Instead of overengineering the project, I set a few clear priorities:

• Fast: Build with edge-first technologies. (PulseOne runs on Cloudflare Workers, offering global speed and resilience.)
• Smart: Start integrating AI, but thoughtfully. (Early versions already plan for topic-based newsletter generation and summarization.)
• Minimalist: Focus on a reading and listening experience that respects attention spans.
  

What started as a weekend project quickly turned into a functioning MVP, now available in US 🇺🇸 and FR 🇫🇷 versions, each with country-specific headlines. A built-in podcast player lets users switch between reading and listening seamlessly — a small but important feature for busy schedules.

What’s Next?

PulseOne is still in beta, and there’s a lot more coming:

• A sports news section
• Daily email digests and topic-based newsletters
• New localized editions like 🇪🇸 Spanish and 🇯🇵 Japanese

I am opening the doors early because I believe good software gets better through feedback. If you have thoughts, ideas, or if something feels off, I would love to hear from you.
