# About OXOM

> How OXOM came about: an idea since 2021, a codebase since 2025, built by Leon Dietrich without investors or sponsors.

## How it came about.

The idea for OXOM goes back to 15 November 2021. It didn't start with software but with a question: why do creators need ten tools, twelve tabs and just as many passwords to do their work?

The first versions were a Webflow site and then a shop on Shopify. OXOM has been a registered trademark since September 2023. In 2024 I started building OXOM myself and, at first, built far too wide: several projects side by side, none of them connected.

Today's codebase has existed since 1 September 2025. One system instead of many, with separate workspaces as the foundation. Since October 2026 OXOM.LINK and OXOM.SITE are open to everyone, and the workspace officially launches on 15 November.

There are no investors or sponsors behind OXOM. I build it on my own, for content creators, so decisions follow what helps them.
