What It Is

caseyliss.com, also known as “Liss is More,” is the personal website of Casey Liss. Casey is a podcaster, developer, and writer based in the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, and is involved in shows such as Accidental Tech Podcast and Analog(ue). He has also developed iOS apps including Callsheet, Peek-a-View, and MaskerAid. The site is closer to a personal tech blog and portfolio hub than a commercial SaaS product or software download site.

Core Features

The site is centered around the author’s stream of long- and short-form posts, covering app update notes, podcast appearances, homelab experiments, smart home automation, Apple ecosystem commentary, cars, and everyday consumer experiences. In the content reviewed, posts about Callsheet updates, Jellyfin integration, Tailscale/OIDC, and Home Assistant dashboards all show a strong hands-on, personal-practice angle. The site also provides About, Apps, Elsewhere, Contact, and RSS sections, making it well suited for long-term subscription through a feed reader.

Pricing

The website itself is free to access, and the articles reviewed did not show a membership wall, ad-supported subscription, or paid posts. Note, however, that the iOS apps mentioned by the author may have their own pricing or in-app purchases in the App Store, but that is separate from the website’s access model.

Pros and Cons

The main strengths are first-hand experience and solid technical detail, making it especially useful for Apple users, indie developers, podcast listeners, and homelab enthusiasts. The site has a clean style, supports RSS, the author’s identity is transparent, and the long-running output adds to its credibility. The downside is that the topics are highly personal and it is not a structured tutorial site; posts are organized mainly by timeline, so finding a specific topic is less convenient than in a knowledge base. All content is written in English, which may be a barrier for Chinese readers.

Who It’s For

It is a good fit for readers interested in the Apple ecosystem, Swift/iOS indie development, the podcasting industry, home servers, Tailscale, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, and related topics. If a user is looking for standardized tools, hosting services, or tutorial courses, this site is not the best starting point.

Access from China

Judging by the site’s format, it is a normal static/lightweight blog, with hosting information mentioning Linode. There does not appear to be any required login or core reading flow that depends heavily on major restricted platforms. Direct access from mainland China is likely possible, though speed may be affected by international routing.
