One person, 10+ repos: where each of my apps came from

I'm Kenji Sakuramoto. I run ｋｅｎｓａｕｒｕｓ LLC, a studio in Shibuya, Tokyo, founded in June 2025, and I run more than ten repos on my own. Most of what I've shipped started with a problem in my own life. The problems first lets-talk. I was socially awkward when I was young, and it took me years to read between the lines. Meeting people from other countries, who talk and show what they feel in very different ways, changed things for me. I'm still learning. lets-talk is a place to practise the hard reply before you send it. help her take photo. On trips I'm usually the one taking the photos, and my wife usually tells me off on the spot. Retake, retake. The app puts the camera's live view on the other phone, so the person in the photo can direct the shot and press the shutter. glot.it. I speak several languages, and a new one sticks faster when I tie it to one I already know. glot.it teaches Thai and writes its memory hints in the learner's own language. yen-yen. With the money app I used before, sharing one book with my family in real time was hard. yen-yen is a hand-entered household money book that a couple or a family can share, with no bank link. the wanting mind. A free book that follows one question: why do people want? It started when I lived in meritocratic Singapore and then came back to Japan. kenji skills. The one I built for myself as a developer, covered below. The rule that makes one person enough Agents stop halfway. Sometimes they report "done" when it isn't. With one person and more than ten repos, I needed the same steps and the same definition of done everywhere, so I wrote them down as playbooks. The part that matters most: the agent that did the work doesn't get to say it's finished. A separate reviewer, instructed to work read-only, compares the plan, the diff and freshly re-run checks, and answers PASS, CONTINUE or BLOCKED. If the evidence is missing, the answer is CONTINUE. Bug reports work the same way. Reports from my bug-reporting tool, Mushi Mushi, feed fix runs that end in a pull request, and I merge each one by hand. Why I keep going With AI, one person can now build a lot. If more people build for themselves and for the people around them, clearing small everyday chores one at a time, life gets a little easier for everyone. I'd like to be one of them. The longer version is on the maker page. An AI assistant drafted this post from my own answers, and it was fact-checked before publishing. The facts about each app come from its repository and its live listing.

iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo review: Excellent cleaning with minimal effort

At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Excellent vacuuming and mopping performance Reliable navigation and obstacle avoidance Highly customizable cleaning routines Effective self-cleaning dock minimizes maintenance Cons Expensive Bulky dock requires considerable floor space Water tanks still need regular attention Our Verdict The iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo delivers excellent performance and reliable automation that makes keeping floors clean genuinely easier. It’s expensive, but its hands-off convenience makes it a compelling choice for busy households with pets and hard floors. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Best Prices Today: iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Retailer Price Check Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide The $999.99 Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock takes much of the work out of floor care. It vacuums, mops, and handles most of its own cleanup, leaving you with relatively little to do beyond occasional maintenance. But more automation doesn’t necessarily mean cleaner floors. All those hands-free features count for little if a robot leaves dirt or stubborn stains behind. Fortunately, the Max 775 delivers on both fronts, combining excellent cleaning performance with automation that makes keeping your floors spotless genuinely easier. iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo: Design and features The Max 775 has the familiar round Roomba shape, with a black-and-silver finish and two buttons on top for starting or pausing a cleaning job and sending the robot back to its dock. At 14.7 inches long, 14.4 inches wide, and 4.1 inches tall, it’s larger than the average robot vacuum and weighs nearly 13 pounds. Underneath are two rubber brushes that rotate in opposite directions. One agitates dirt to loosen it from the floor, while the other pulls the debris toward the suction inlet. A pair of edge-sweeping brushes directs dirt from walls and corners into their path. Michael Ansaldo/Foundry The Max 775’s more distinctive features are found in its mopping system. Its fabric-covered roller rotates at 200 rpm, scrubbing the floor while continuously washing itself to avoid spreading dirty water, and mechanically extends toward baseboards for better coverage. When the robot recognizes carpet, it raises the roller and closes a protective cover over it to prevent moisture from reaching the fibers. The AutoWash Dock is a rectangular unit measuring 17.7 by 16.7 by 17 inches. Separate clean- and dirty-water tanks are stowed beneath its hinged lid along with a dust bag compartment and a reservoir for iRobot’s StayClean cleaning concentrate. The dock automatically empties the robot’s dustbin into an odor-control bag. It also washes the mop roller with water heated to 167 degrees Fahrenheit, then dries it with warm air. Water and cleaning solution are dispensed automatically. iRobot claims up to three months of hands-free operation, although you’ll still need to refill the clean-water tank periodically and empty the dirty one after each cleaning job to prevent odors. For navigation, the Max 775 combines LiDAR mapping with AI-assisted obstacle recognition. The Roomba Home app lets you schedule cleanings, target individual rooms, and adjust cleaning preferences. The app also offers heated-water spot cleaning, letting you target a specific area on the map rather than cleaning an entire room. iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo: Setup and performance The AutoDock comes fully assembled so you need only to find some space for it. iRobot recommends 1.6 feet of clearance on either side and 5 feet in front. The Roomba Home app handles Wi-Fi pairing. It instantly recognized the Roomba and guided me through the setup with a series of short prompts. The first time you use the Max 775 it does a mapping run of your space without vacuuming. It took less than 15 minutes to map my home’s layout and got it mostly right, though I had to divide one room into two and rename them using the map editing tool. The Roomba Home app offers plenty of control without overcomplicating cleaning jobs. You can vacuum, mop, do both simultaneously, or vacuum first and mop afterward. Cleaning presets include Light, Standard, and Deep, which apply progressively more aggressive cleaning settings, and Smart, which automatically adjusts the settings for each room based on how dirty it is. You can also select individual rooms and arrange them in your preferred cleaning order. The app also automatically identified specific cleaning zones within rooms, including areas around my sofa, dining table, refrigerator, and toilet. You can clean these areas individually and customize their settings just as you would for an entire room. Options include suction power, the amount of water dispensed, one or two cleaning passes, and whether to use SmartScrub, a feature that uses extra back-and-forth scrubbing passes and downward pressure to tackle stubborn dirt. That allows you to give a particularly dirty area a more thorough cleaning without applying the same settings throughout the house. For smaller messes, Spot Clean lets you target a specific area on the map, with an option to use heated water for mopping. You can also schedule cleanings and access saved routines from the home screen. Separate dock controls let you wash and dry the mop or empty the dustbin manually when needed. During my testing, the Max 775 consistently handled dust, cat hair, and food crumbs on my laminate floors without leaving visible debris behind. It cleaned well along baseboards and in corners, often a weak spot for round vacuums. During combined vacuum-and-mop runs, the robot alternated between the hard floors and area rug in my living room. The rug always stayed dry, suggesting the protective mop cover was working as intended. Mopping was generally effective against tracked-in dirt, kitchen grease, dried spills, and general buildup. Some shoe scuffs were more stubborn and standard mopping left some marks behind, but switching to SmartScrub removed them completely. The floors looked evenly cleaned afterward with no visible streaks. The Max 775 has excellent obstacle detection. Throughout my testing, it maneuvered deftly around the array of obstacles I left out to challenge it, including pet beds, laundry baskets and several pairs of shoes along with all my home’s furniture. It never got stuck or knocked anything over, which gave me the confidence to let it run unattended most of the time, and it consistently found its way back to its dock. The dock empties the robot’s dustbin after cleaning jobs, and sometimes during them depending on how fast it fills up. Similarly the dock washes the mop after wet cleaning and dries it with warm air over the roller, rotating it every 15 minutes to expose different sections to the airflow. iRobot doesn’t say how long it takes to completely dry the roller, but several hours seems to be the norm based on the low hum the dock emits during the process. Should you buy it? I was pretty happy with the results I got from the Max 775. It consistently returned a gleam to my floors without requiring much hands-on attention from me, which is exactly what you want in a robot vacuum. While any home can benefit from such a helper, I’d say the Max 775 is particularly well-suited for busy households with pets and a mix of hard floors and carpeting. If you mostly need occasional vacuuming, you could get away with spending less on a simpler robot.
