Trek is designed with sharing and collaboration in mind. Frequently, I’ve either asked or answered the question, “Where should I go in this city?” Trek is built to be the solution to this question. Whether making a list of places at home or abroad, Trek is your place for your places.

I’ve been on the road for six months, exploring some of the most stunning places on earth. I created an app, Trek, that I wish I had sooner to keep track of all the amazing places I’ve been and the ones I still want to visit.

Little rebuild of playtrample.com in React Native/Expo of slowly but surely coming together! Spent some time on the "getting started" guide experience today!

Spent the last 2 days reading DOM stacking context articles and tutorials and my response: z-index++

Yesterday, in my spare time, I started rebuilding my beloved (and neglected) playtrample.com for native using @expo.dev, and it's been going well! Nothing in the game _works_ yet, but the pieces are coming together! #buildinpublic

Got this bad boi right before sending the "this project is ready for QA" message. I guess I'll just go kick rocks instead of enjoying my evening.

I haven't used the bird site in a long time, but I've always kept it around so I could find accounts I used to follow. I was waiting for some other platform to feel good enough and today I used the chrome extension to find most of my old friends here and finally deactivated 🥳
