Clearwater, Florida, June 14, 2026 - GoodWare LLC announced the private product release of Wish Upon A Star, a system for turning wishes into executable work: software, documents, research, operations, customer-facing next steps, and the first working versions of new ideas.
Notary Geek is one of the first places the product begins to live in real customer-facing work. The release is emotional, positive, and serious. It is not a claim of magic. It is GoodWare saying clearly that this work is real.
Have you dreamed? Have you wished?
Wish Upon A Star points to a simple human dream: the wish should not stay trapped in a person's head. It should have a place to land, a way to be heard, and a path toward something real.
Some days a person really does wish upon a star. GoodWare built Wish Upon A Star around that feeling: not hype, not magic, but hope becoming structured work.
What is being released
Wish Upon A Star is the private GoodWare product release for the moment when a person or team has a real need, dream, problem, or wish and needs help turning it into something usable.
- A software idea can become specifications, code, tests, documentation, and a working first version.
- A story can become a draft.
- A problem can become a request.
- A pile of details can become a plan.
- A wish can begin moving toward something real.
A software creation factory
One primary internal use case is software creation. GoodWare is building Wish Upon A Star so a requested outcome can move through drafting, planning, code work, review, testing, deployment steps, documentation, and follow-through.
The product is not limited to one website, one service, or one category. The point is the process: turn the wish into work, keep the work reviewable, and keep improving the ability to create.
The human use case
The human side still matters. Some wishes are software. Some wishes are documents, letters, research, support questions, customer problems, or life problems that need a first step. Wish Upon A Star does not replace the human. It helps the human get from a wish to the next usable thing.
Review, judgment, permission, and responsibility remain part of the workflow.
Notary Geek as a consumer
Notary Geek uses GoodWare technology to support people dealing with notary, apostille, document-routing, public-knowledge, and customer-experience problems. The goal is practical and human: help the person find the next usable thing.
Notary.CX is part of that customer-facing surface. The same release is intentionally available from both Notary Geek and Notary.CX hostnames when deployed through the multisite application.
The technology behind it
Behind the scenes, GoodWare uses private technology, AI assistance, code workflows, document workflows, and operating systems to help wishes become usable output. The public point is not the wiring. The public point is that the work is real, reviewable, and capable of producing software and operational results.
This release and site update were prepared with AI-assisted drafting and development under human review.
GoodWare may work with a broad AI ecosystem as appropriate. This release does not claim endorsement, partnership, certification, sponsorship, or an official integration by any AI vendor, cloud provider, media company, artist, or platform.
Founder statement
Greg Lirette, founder of GoodWare LLC and Notary Geek, said: "Some days you really do wish upon a star. For GoodWare, the product question is what happens next: can that wish become a plan, a document, a workflow, code, or a working first version of something real? Wish Upon A Star is emotional because people make wishes, but it is serious because the point is to turn wishes into work."
Acknowledgments
GoodWare also acknowledges that Wish Upon A Star is part of a longer journey shaped by people who helped Greg Lirette build, focus, and keep moving.
Lirette credits the late Greg Condon, a former Microsoft manager, for a lasting lesson about doing more, thinking bigger, focusing beyond the immediate work queue, and investing in learning.
Lirette also credits Jennifer Avis as an early sounding board during Notary Geek's formation and the thinking that later fed Wish Upon A Star.
Lirette also credits Raymond Devine for advice as a friend and for direct influence on the work that led to Wish Upon A Star.
Lirette also credits Jim Beck, whom he met when Beck was Director of IT at Morris Bart, L.L.C., for influence, especially on the personal side.
GoodWare also credits Terrianne Barrett, a current GoodWare LLC employee, for assisting with the current work connected to Wish Upon A Star.
Additional acknowledgments may be added as the public record grows.
