The Story Behind Mako
As a dad of two beach-loving kids, I got tired of wandering the shore aimlessly, hoping to stumble upon shark teeth. My pockets were always full of shells and sand, but never the teeth my kids desperately wanted to find.
After learning about the science behind optimal hunting times, I realized this was a problem technology could solve. Mako transforms casual beachcombing into successful hunting expeditions using real data and smart timing.
Now my kids and I come home with actual treasures instead of just sandy memories. That's the power of combining parenting frustration with iOS development skills!
