There’s this nifty new app that build apps for any event. Does that sound weird? Maybe. But there’s an app for everything right? So it’s no surprise really that there are apps that make apps.
Yapp is a free tool that lets users quickly build and share their own mobile applications for events ranging from business conferences to sweet 16 birthday parties. The service has been in private beta since April, but on Tuesday, Yapp announced its public launch for Android and iPhone. via Yapp Lets You Build Apps for Any Event.
What it does is make what I’d like to call a “child-app” as in “child themes” that lives within the Yapp app. All you have to do is select a theme, input basic information such as the date, location, website and event program. You can even throw in some photos for good measure. Then, Yapp creates that “child app” for you, creates a link to a download page and everyone who knows the link can practically download the app. It works on iOS and Android devices and it looks pretty cool.
I’ve made a mock-up app about my son’s upcoming birthday and I must say it looks very promising for personal occasions and professional events alike.

I’m RJ Marmol — writer, musician, and independent creator based in Manila.
I write songs, essays, and books about the messy overlap between money, overwhelm, creativity, identity, and rebuilding. Much of my work circles around what happens when life stops feeling manageable — and how we try to think clearly, make decisions, and keep moving anyway.
On the music side, I release work as HeyRJ. On the writing side, this site is where I gather my books, essays, notes, and whatever I’m building next.
Music
HeyRJ is my sonic soul project. I create raw, minimalist-style and deeply personal music interpretations that feel like a late-night conversation with your truest self.
By blending lo-fi acoustic textures with poetic honesty, my work explores love, loss, grief, healing, and the quiet in-betweens of life. Each song is a letter — a journal entry — a gentle companion for when the world feels too loud or too quiet.
While my catalogue began with intimate cover renditions, my work is increasingly being shaped by original writing, drawing from years of poems, lived questions, and emotional survival.
“Stuck Home Syndrome”released on March 20, 2026 is my first original 20-track album written during a period when time felt compressed and days began to blur into each other. The songs came from sitting with thoughts that had nowhere else to go — unfiltered, repetitive, and sometimes uncomfortable. It’s a concept album that isn’t built around singles or polish. It’s closer to a continuous inner monologue, recorded with minimal production and very little ornamentation and meant to be listened to as one cohesive body of work. The goal wasn’t to resolve anything, only to document how it felt while it was happening.
On May 29, 2026 I released new original singles – “Rapturous”, “Uh Huh”, “Look At You”, “All That” and “Blew Print”. I continue to release both original and cover songs and intend to so for as long as I can so check back every once in a while — you might. just find something you’ll like.

A nonfiction book about what debt does to the mind — and how to begin functioning again when financial stress has made everything feel blurred, urgent, and overwhelming.
Rather than treating debt only as a financial math problem, the book explores the emotional and cognitive realities of financial distress: shame, decision fatigue, avoidance, panic, relationship strain, and the difficulty of making sound decisions while mentally depleted.
