Day 23 of the #shipaton 🚀

Took a little longer than expected, but the Flutter SDK for Northlight is finally done! 🎉

That means I can now collect proper feedback on my shipaton app Morning.

Open beta coming soon! 👀

Took a little break from the #shipaton to start porting the Android and iOS SDKs from gonorthlight.com to Flutter.

Soon, you’ll be able to capture and analyze user feedback not just with Swift and Kotlin, but with Dart too 🤓

Decided to try out a bunch of different styles. So far, my two favorites are the first two.

Which one’s your pick? Got any other ideas? Let me know! 👀

Day 11 of the #shipaton 🚀

Been working on an animation for when tasks are created and pop onto the screen.
I’m aiming for something super minimal, an effect you can watch every time you add a to-do, with just enough oomph to feel special, but not so much that it gets annoying or feels “too much”.

Over a year ago, I started putting effort into improving my design skills

Still a long way to go, but while working on Morning for the #shipaton I realized I have trained my eye to the point where I can now spot a 2px difference
I wasn’t sure at first, but after double-checking, there it was.

Day 7 of the #shipaton 🚀

Spent the last two days tweaking this screen and its animations.

Was it worth it? Debatable 😂

But hey, one step closer to launch!

Just saw an old gallery of inspo pics I saved for Morning, my #shipaton app, from 3 years ago!

Wild to think how long this idea has been sitting in the back of my mind… and how easy it is to let things drift and not take action

But not this time.
August is launch month. Let’s go! 🚀

Day five of the #shipaton 🚀

One step closer to also releasing on Android!

Surprised at how much quicker it is to create an account and get it approved vs Apple

Day 4 of the #shipaton 🚀

It’s Sunday, so it’s time to take a chill task

I have lists, tasks and notes on the same scroll view and they don’t perfectly align. It’s driving me crazy.

Gotta*fix*today*

Day 3 of the #shipaton 🚀

Morning is an Android and iOS app that helps you stay focused by letting you highlight your most important task of the day, your Hero Task! It’s a simple way to keep it on top of mind and feel great when it’s done.

Just wrapped up v1 of the main widget!
What do you think?

Day two of working on the #shipaton 🚀

I’ll be calling the app “Morning” and I’m playing around with the concept of sunrise and sunset

These will be the light mode and dark mode icons

Started this year’s #shipaton project today.

Going to release my first cross platform project and dust out my flutter skills.

Really enjoying the animations thus far 🔥

If you are launching an app for the #shipaton this might be the perfect sdk for you.

It’s free to start and literally only takes 3 lines of code to start using it.

Drop the package, build, done

Sora is a lot of fun and the results seem fantastic so far.

OpenAI did a great job — I just wonder why it’s not able to understand “Godzilla” 🥲

Me casually trying to enjoy Sora at launch time 🥲

Pretty curious to see how the full release of o1 will perform in real life 👀

First day of OpenAI done ✅

My first week on BlueSky.
Nearly 300 followers.

It took me 3 months to achieve the same on X 🤯

✨ New milestone unlocked ✨

Some lovely person went pro with my app Bottomline while I was sleeping.

I have finally joined the team “that makes money while sleeping” 🤓

It isn’t much, but it’s a start 💪

RevenueCat’s #shipaton prize just arrived! 🤩

Now I just need to figure out where to put it. 🤔

4 days on BlueSky and I already reached 200 friends 🫶

Crazy how fast things move over here. Took me a couple months for the first 200 over at Twitter 🤯
