Miniroll

This year is already off to a productive start, as I've launched my first new project!

It's called Miniroll, and it's a way to create, share, and embed blogrolls. Along with many other things.

It's not just about your blogrolls either, as you can choose to make them public. Which means other…

No More Snoozing Alarms

I heard about an app called Awake on MacStories. It's an alarm clock app, which is specifically designed for heavy sleepers, or people who tend to enjoy pressing the snooze button in the morning. People like me.

There are three main parts of the app: your schedule, missions, and morning…

2026

I'm not a massive life planner. However, I do have a few things in my head that I want to fix/improve/accomplish in 2026. So I thought I'd write them down and publish the list here, primarily to keep myself accountable.

Theme I remember hearing this on a Relay.fm podcast years ago, and it was about…

My New Junior Developer, Claude

I've been using Claude Code quite a lot recently. And while it hasn't replaced 100% of my programming, it is becoming invaluable for tasks that either require too much time (I have a baby), or for things that have low ROI. E.g.

What I've found, is that for many of my projects, getting praise early on…

Having Control Over Your Own Day

I have a few life goals written down, where I think if I would achieve them, would signify a very satisfying life for myself.

One I would like to share today, is that I would like to not need to set an alarm on a day-to-day basis. I want to be able to wake up naturally, and go about my day as I see…

Using Older Products

I’ve had enough thoughts on this idea to span a short book, but I had a moment today where I was just occupied with my thoughts, and I started contemplating using an iPhone 5 again.

A quick bit of a context: the iPhone 5 is my favourite phone to have existed, and I’m also a fan (nostalgically) of…
