Hi, I’m Trenton.
I’m the one person behind FleeceForge. I originally started with designing simple systems for the games I played to make things easier for my friends and myself. Then I got a 3D printer, and over time that small hobby grew into Printpaca. As I refined and built up Printpaca, my mom asked me if I could help her with her soap-making side business, and I realized that I had already done most of the work. Thus, I began working on Soapaca for her.
I had a small realization while working on the project: my mom isn’t technical in the slightest and would have a very hard time self-hosting the software. I decided to take my 15+ years working in IT to build FleeceForge and a way for non-technical people to easily use the applications I’ve created.
On the other side, I have a small project called Never Idle that I am working on. It’s still in early stages of development, but I am so very excited to get it out there when I feel it’s ready for public scrutiny. I have so many grand ideas for my projects and plans, so stick around a bit and see what could be coming down the pipeline.
Oh, and if you’re wondering where FleeceForge came from: I absolutely adore alpacas and firefoxes. Someday, I’d love to move to Michigan with my mom on our little piece of land, and raise two or three alpacas. “Fleece” comes from the alpacas. “Forge” is a nod to firefoxes and the idea of turning fleece or fabric into something new. Put them together and, BLAM, FleeceForge was born. Have a question or suggestion? I’d love to hear it. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look around. It means a lot.
