Operation Vittles

Apps as distribution. LeXCorp has a product arsenal and a live war room — what it needs is an audience on the other side of the chasm. In the agentic coding era, the cost of shipping has collapsed, so instead of waiting months to launch one polished product, we run a sustained airlift: dozens of small, useful tools shipped weekly. Each app is a touchpoint, each user a potential follower, each project shortens the corridor across the chasm. Operation Vittles is the supply run that keeps going until the crossing is complete.

Current focus

Phase 1 — Launch Pipeline: Establish weekly app launch cadence — ship first 4 public launches from the portfolio and new small tools (Target: 1 launch/week)

Overview

This work is currently live, so the page should explain what is happening now and how progress is being measured.

The founders who win in this era won't just ship one polished product — they'll ship dozens of small ones and let distribution emerge from the work itself. Alongside the traditional playbook of threads, tutorials, and social presence, Operation Vittles treats every launched app as a supply drop. CalcLLM and Pitwall are already live. GSkillPacks is next on the manifest. The goal is one new public launch per week, each one earning attention that compounds into subscribers, followers, and eventually customers. Volume and consistency bridge the chasm.
