I'm Scott Robbin, a generalist — part designer, part engineer, part musician, with an interest in open government and a love of traveling. I run Robbin & Co., helping teams build things that work well, feel right, and last.
Projects
Hindsight
An RSS reader that delivers yesterday's news today. Instead of chasing real-time updates, Hindsight encourages a simpler routine — browse what happened yesterday, read what interests you, and move on with your day. News reading as a pleasure, not a chore.
Letter Club
A platform for private group newsletters where members both send and receive. Create a club, set a pace — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — and everyone gets a digest on schedule. An ode to the slow web, where your inbox is yours to control.
Kiss Me, I'm Relish
A St. Patrick's Day t-shirt celebrating Chicago-style hot dog and its neon green condiment. A fun exploration of e-commerce and print-on-demand.
OpenGov MCP Server
An MCP server that connects government datasets directly to AI assistants, making it possible to ask plain-language questions about public data. No SQL queries, no CSV downloads.
SweepAround.Us
A Chicago street sweeping alert system that texts you before the sweeper comes so you can move your car. Built with open city data and a lot of parking tickets as motivation.
