The hobby of starting hobbies.
Onepot started as a way to make all that research worth something. Here’s the real reason it exists, and who I built it for.
I have a confession: I’m addicted to starting hobbies. Sourdough, film photography, home espresso, and most recently gravel biking. I’ve begun them all. Have I mastered any of them? Absolutely not. I find a new one before that ever happens.
But here’s the thing I’ve realised. A huge part of the joy isn’t the mastery. It’s the build-up. The evenings spent researching, watching every review, learning what separates the gear you actually need from the stuff that ends up on a shelf. I love that part, and I’m genuinely good at it now. I can find the right kit, and the right deals, faster than almost anything else I do.
The problem was that all of that research just evaporated. I’d buy the kit, lose interest, and the knowledge would go nowhere.
So I built Onepot as a place to put it.
Now when I go deep on something new, I turn it into a bundle: everything you need to start X, in one place, with the reasoning behind each pick. It scratches my hobby-of-hobbies itch without costing me a fortune, and it might just save you the forty browser tabs.
coming soon.
It’s not just me
The best part is who else this is for. Real experts, the people who have stuck with their thing, already know the best tools and the smartest place to begin. Onepot lets them hand that shortcut to a beginner taking their first step, or a casual looking to level up.
And honestly? I’m here for the fun ones too. The Ultimate Work-From-Home Kit (a Netflix subscription and a hammock, thanks Stuart). The Ultimate Night In With The Boys (100 crates of beer, though we’d never actually suggest that much). A good kit doesn’t have to be serious to be useful.
Free to browse
Onepot is free, and there are no ads cluttering the place up. Down the line I plan to fund it through affiliate links, so if you buy something through a bundle I might earn a small commission, and it won’t cost you a penny more. It’s not switched on yet, and when it is, I’ll label every monetised link plainly rather than bury it. You can see what’s planned on the roadmap.
Right now I’m putting together my own gravel-biking starter kit. All that recent research, finally going somewhere.
