About This Site
Easygoing Nerd is an editorial resource that makes technology accessible. We research, test, and write about home automation, AI, and everyday tech — translating the confusing bits into plain English.
What We Do
We publish guides, tutorials, and recommendations about technology — with a focus on home automation, artificial intelligence, and the tech that regular people actually use every day.
Our content is organised into learning sections: structured sequences of posts that take you from beginner to confident on a specific topic. Think of them as free courses, minus the awkward group projects.
Every article is researched and written with one goal: to be the clearest, most helpful explanation of the topic you'll find anywhere online.
Our Editorial Approach
Every guide is based on thorough research, product documentation, and real-world testing information. We cite our sources and link to official docs.
If a 5-letter acronym can be replaced with a normal sentence, it will be. Technical terms are always explained when first used.
If a product is rubbish, we'll say so. If a technology isn't ready for normal people yet, we'll tell you to wait.
We're an editorial resource, not a team of engineers. We research and synthesise information from expert sources to make it accessible.
How We Make Money
Transparency matters, so here's how this site sustains itself:
Affiliate links: When we recommend a product or service, we sometimes include affiliate links. If you buy through one, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our recommendations — we'd rather recommend nothing than recommend something rubbish.
Display advertising: You may see ads on our pages. We try to keep them unobtrusive and relevant.
These revenue streams let us keep publishing free guides. We don't do sponsored content, and no company can pay to be recommended.
