# Caperet (Let's have it!)

> Caperet is the personal site of Simon White, a UX/product strategy consultant based near Paris, France. It combines a professional UX consulting profile, a long-running personal blog, an FAQ for the Photo Declutter mobile app, and a legacy joke archive.

The domain name comes from a Latin note by mathematician Pierre de Fermat. Content spans three distinct purposes: consulting credibility, an indie app (Photo Declutter), and older personal/blog content kept live for historical reasons. Treat these as separate contexts rather than one voice.

## Consulting

- [Home / UX consulting profile](https://www.caperet.com/): Simon White's product and UX strategy consulting practice. 25+ years experience across lastminute.com, Voyages-SNCF, PagesJaunes, AXA, Generali, Clarins. Focus areas: roadmap and UX/business/tech arbitrage, tracking audits and data credibility, board-level reporting. Bilingual French/English.

## Photo Declutter (app)

- [FAQ (English)](https://www.caperet.com/photo/): Photo Declutter is a calm, privacy-first iOS and Android app for gradually clearing a photo library through short daily swipe sessions. Swipe right to keep, swipe left to mark for release. Nothing is deleted without a review step and explicit confirmation. No account, no tracking, no data leaves the device.
- [FAQ (French)](https://www.caperet.com/photos/): French version of the same FAQ.
- iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/photo-declutter/id6761546408
- Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.caperet.photodeclutter

Key facts: deleted photos go to Recently Deleted (iOS) or the Bin (Android) for 30 days before permanent removal; automatic duplicate detection is intentionally not used in favour of quick human decisions; monetisation is a one-time tip jar and session-length unlock, no subscriptions.

## Blog

- [Blog](https://www.caperet.com/blog/): An eclectic personal blog mixing technology commentary, news comment, UX/product notes, and personal life updates, running since the mid-2000s.
- [I knew what to build. I just didn't know how, until AI.](https://www.caperet.com/i-knew-what-to-build-i-just-didnt-know-how-until-ai/): The main narrative post on building Photo Declutter as a non-Swift developer using AI coding tools. The best single reference for the app's origin story.
- [Tech & UX category](https://www.caperet.com/category/tech/): Blog posts specifically on technology and UX topics.

## Legacy archive

- [Jokes database](https://www.caperet.com/joke-database/): A long-running archive of several hundred jokes sorted into categories (adult, blonde, Christmas, classic, computer, corporate, historical event, risque, sexist, society, true stories, and more). Legacy content, not actively promoted, kept live for continuity.
- [Quotations](https://www.caperet.com/quotations/): A companion legacy archive of quotations.
