About

My name is Ben Saxon, and I founded Moon Blocs because, as a software engineer, I've often found the tools for documenting, planning, and tracking work to be frustratingly inadequate.

Let's start with documentation. Documenting work is rarely enjoyable—it's a thankless task that often gets buried in a tangle of tools and approaches. Markdown files, scattered SaaS apps, and convoluted workflows make finding and maintaining documentation a nightmare. Sure, you can link documents to tickets, but they often end up lost as well. And API documentation? Let's be honest—most companies don't take it seriously.

Project Management. Why can't we just agree on a single approach? Many project management tools are overcomplicated, with bloated features and no consistency across teams. This lack of cohesion ends up creating more confusion than clarity.

Tracking and Analysis. Standard project management tools track abstract concepts like epics, stories, and bug tickets. But when it comes to truly understanding what you're building, that's not enough. Tracking outputs—APIs, features, and deliverables—is what really matters.

Moon Blocs is designed to streamline your development workflow by integrating documentation, project management, and tracking into one seamless and simple process. By aligning these steps, Moon Blocs helps you and your team focus on what truly matters: building great products.
