IHBNF
Idle Hands Bear No Fruit.
I write books. I build apps. Apparently I don't know how to sit still.
00 — The umbrella
IHBNF is where I put the things I actually finish. Books, apps, sports tech, and whatever idea talks me into more work next. Different projects, same rule: nothing happens until you do the work.
- Books
- Fantasy, memoir, and more stories already waiting their turn.
- Apps
- Unfiltr, Sports Wager Helper, and the tools that started as “what if?”
- The method
- Build it. Break something. Learn why. Fix it. Keep going.
01The work
Things I somehow turned into real things.
Books, apps, sports tech, and the occasional idea that probably sounded simpler before I started building it.
02The Unwritten Journey · Book One
Some questions are better left unanswered.
But where's the fun in that?
Two friends. Six mysterious stone markers. One forgotten secret.
For Dominick and Henry, it starts with a discovery that seems ordinary. It turns into a mystery involving six mysterious stone markers, forgotten secrets, friendship, danger, and something much larger than either boy understands.
03Unfiltr by Javier · iOS & Android
Conversation that remembers.
Unfiltr is an AI companion app built around persistent memory, so a conversation picks up where it left off. Around that sit voice, immersive chat worlds, journaling, meditation, and experiences shaped around you.
AI companions
Companions to talk with, shaped around the way you like to talk.
Persistent memory
Context carries from one conversation to the next.
Voice
Speak out loud when typing isn't the right fit.
Immersive worlds
Chat environments that set the tone of a conversation.
Journaling
A private place to write things down and look back.
Meditation
Guided moments to slow down and reset.
04Sports Tech · Web + Mobile
Research first. Gut feeling second.
Sports Wager Helper brings player stats, team form, matchup trends, live information, and AI-assisted research into one place.
Because “I just have a feeling about this one” is technically a strategy. It's just not a very good research method.
- Player & team research
- Matchup trends
- S.A.L. AI research
- Live scores & news
- Mobile companion
- Tracking tools
S.A.L.
Sports AI Librarian
A true story.
05MemoirIn Development
The Dream of the Payoff
The true story of an ordinary man whose life has been anything but ordinary.
- Growing up
- Family
- Relationships
- Fatherhood
- Work
- Sacrifice
- Financial struggle
- Dreams
And the question underneath all of it: when does all that hard work finally pay off?
Still reading?Good.
If you want more, I've got more.
There are more books in the works. I'm not putting all of them on the front page yet because, believe it or not, I do occasionally know when to keep something to myself.
If you're here for the stories, stay close. More are coming — and trust me, they're not filler, side quests, or pushover books. I plan on making you work for the ending.
06The founder
Javier Huertas
Author. Creator. Builder.
I write books and build apps. A lot of my projects start with some version of "how hard could it be?" which, for the record, is rarely the beginning of an easy week.
IHBNF is where all of it lives: The Unwritten Journey, Unfiltr, the memoir I'm working on, and whatever I start next.
There's no secret formula behind it. Make something. See what breaks. Fix it, learn from it, and keep going. Somewhere in there, it usually turns into something real.
— Javier
07The philosophy
Idle hands bear no fruit.
Basically: stop talking about it and make the thing. Then expect something to break, fix it, learn from it, and keep moving.
- 01
Create.
- 02
Build.
- 03
Break it.
- 04
Fix it.
- 05
Learn.
- 06
Keep moving.
