Chris

Hey, I’m Chris. I’m the solo developer behind Vellumine. I built Vellumine because I believe Ghost publishers deserve a search experience that truly respects the quality of their work. It is fast, intuitive and thoughtfully designed. This is an independent project, built with strong principles and attention to detail.
