One of this week’s listings showed the facade of a classic San Francisco Victorian with a garage framed in blooming, neon pink bougainvillea. It had obviously recently been repainted in the trendy dark gray that many Victorians sport these days, which also indicated to me it probably had been recently renovated inside. I started with a guess of $4 million since I have a black heart.

Claypotch and co-founder Andrew Pariser have been friends for more than 10 years, both software developers who met in the Bay Area. They’re self-described “puzzle heads,” often tackling a New York Times crossword puzzle when they’re together for fun. Pariser came down with COVID-19 for the second time in August 2022 and said he was tired of Netflix-binging while isolating from his family. He called up Potch and said he wanted to build something.The duo started to brainstorm.

WATCH: Saturday Night Live imagines Fox & Friends breakup with Trump post-midterm electionsSaturday Night Live opened this week with a sketch on Fox & Friends dumping former President Donald Trump as a show guest after weaker-than-expected midterm elections for Republicans. I’d rather watch Hillary shower. What sad if trump didn't exist the media would be lost for post.
