🎨 We make tools for professionals.

Epic Tools is Denis Zhitnyakov's indie workshop 🛠️ Previously built dolphin-anty.com — now doing the 0→1 thing again, properly. No VC money, no growth hacks, no BS. The micro-blog is where most of the real stuff happens — raw thoughts, work-in-progress, honest updates. Subscribe via RSS if you're that kind of person.

Not a startup chasing scale. Not building for everyone. Just shipping software that actually does what it promises — for professionals who know the difference between something that works and something that actually works. Indie, remote-only, async by default. 🌍

  1. 01 Tools for pros, not the masses 🎯

  4. 04 Small giant > funded startup 💪

ChatGPT vs Claude.

At this point I am confident at two things:

(1) 👨🏻‍💻 I can’t recall any coding tasks which were done perfectly with ChatGPT Codex (5.x family).

(2) 🔎 🎨 I can’t recall any design or research tasks which were done perfectly with Claude Code (4.6 family).
