Niklas Weber

Hi, I'm Niklas. I'm a founding engineer at Compelling.

I love building things for the web that let others build things for the web. I spend much of my time thinking about CMSs, URLs and open standards.

I build small, opinionated things on the web and write about my learnings on my blog and on X. I share them early, so don't expect polished thoughts. Among the things I've built are Still, friction logs for humans and agents, bskysrch, advanced search for Bluesky, and Cherrycruit, a Notion-powered ATS. You can find my code on GitHub.

My writing is the best way to see what I've been thinking about recently. You can find everything on my blog, but here are a few I'm most proud of:

• Chief Bookmark Officer
• URLs are part of the product experience
• The Internet's Command-Line

I've been building things for the web since high school. I studied Computer Science in Karlsruhe and lived in the US, Norway and Korea during my studies.

I launch everything with Raycast, take notes in Notion and still call my calendar Cron1. Press ⌘+K in Notion Calendar2. Paste this command and hit enter:defaults write app dockIcon style1Click to copy. I Gmail like a Superhuman.

The best way to reach me is a DM on X, or email.
