Minder is on the App Store, and this is just the beginning!
I put a lot of work in the random notifications algorithm.
Now it’s time to add personality, and I would love your feedback! 🧵

The very first version of Minder is now on TestFlight 🎉
It nudges you with mindful random reminders through the day. Some examples of Minders you can create:
- Where’s my attention right now?
- Drink some water
- What am I grateful for right now?

The flaws only showed up once I put Minder (the app I am building) in front of people. User testing interviews changed how I’ll launch this app. Full story in 🧵

I was stuck. Making little progress across all my projects.
Recently, a friend taught me how to juggle. Literally 🤹
Last week, I learned about Intentional Imperfection from the Tiny Experiments book.
Now, everything makes sense! 🧵

Do you want to try #macOS26 but don't want to install the beta on your main machine?
You can set it up in a Virtual Machine! This way your Mac stays untouched.
I tried out VirtualBuddy and it’s surprisingly easy. You install the app and then it guides you through!

I just tested the new Dia browser. I think the AI features have potential, but it is missing many features, and the delightful UI Arc has. Sure, some of it will improve over time.
Now that Arc is now in maintenance mode. What macOS browser do you recommend?

This distinction between Chronos and Kairos time stuck with me. I’m Chronos-driven: routines, time-blocking, structure. But when my wife got sick this week, shifting to Kairos time freed me to drop the schedule and be fully present without the burden of guilt.

A mix of self-care, reflection, and determination is needed to regain balance.

I've been reflecting on my layoff experience.
I was lucky to have done some prep work (without knowing it.)
Today and tomorrow, I’ll share two threads about what worked for me:
1️⃣ What to do before a layoff
2️⃣ How to rebuild after
Feedback welcomed 👇
