What gets covered here
Intentionally wide. From clinical research to which office chair is worth the money — anything worth doing properly, gets done properly.
Psychology & Mental Health
Qualitative analyses and literature reviews on conditions that are misunderstood, under-researched, or poorly explained.
Misophonia deep dive →Finance & Investing
Backtests of newsletter strategies, real estate checklists, and clear-eyed looks at whether the advice actually works.
Product Comparisons
Chairs, computers, bags, lawnmowers — real side-by-sides that cut through spec-sheet noise and marketing fluff.
Travel
Practical lists and honest itineraries. Less "hidden gems", more actually-useful trip planning for real destinations.
Code & Tech Projects
Raspberry Pi configs, Discord bots, automation scripts — documented step by step so you don't have to piece it together yourself.
And everything else
Interesting questions that don't fit neatly into a category. The only criterion: does it deserve a proper look?
What's the deal
with FrodoForge?
FrodoForge is a personal blog where I write about things that interest me — which turns out to be a pretty wide range of things. Psychology research, investing strategies, which ergonomic chair is actually worth it, how to set up a Raspberry Pi with a Discord bot, where to go in Portugal.
The common thread isn't a topic. It's an approach: go deeper than a surface take, be honest about what the data does and doesn't say, and write things I'd actually want to read.
No ads. No affiliate links. No tracking. No paywall. Just things I found interesting enough to write about properly.
