Lots of new faces here… Let’s introduce ourselves! 👋

I’m a software engineer and indie maker.

I was a freelancer for a little over 7 years, and I also made @polarhabits.com in that time. 🐻‍❄️

Now I’m a full-time tinkerer, working on Experimental Projects @stripe.com!

Say hello… Quote your intro! ☺️
It won’t be easy but we really need to come up with a new save icon.

Someone's made a habit tracker that tracks "momentum" instead of "streaks."

Looks eerily similar to the @polarhabits.com system! 🐻‍❄️

I have mixed feelings about this, but overall positive! 😁

I used to love em dashes — now it looks like an AI agent wrote it.

I became a new dad on Father's day this year! 👨🏻

It's an incredible gift that's shifted my perspective on life, work, and what matters the most to me.

Polar Habits hasn't been getting the love it deserves from me! 😢

I've done literally zero marketing for almost 2 years, but it brings in a trickle of new users every day, and even the occasional new subscriber (or lifetime buyer.)

Would consider selling it, but I poured my heart into it…

Before AI chatbots, I didn't use to scrutinise every email I wrote.

I trusted myself more.

Signing in to AWS after many many years.

Going to set up SES for @therapyspace.co.

If I don’t return, tell my story.

Cursor Tab auto completion sometimes reads my mind too much... Creepy! 😅

Claude in Cursor just said:

"Would you like me to implement this approach? I can have it working in about 20-30 minutes and replace the current hardcoded system."

Just an AI agent casually pretending to be a slow human.

I just found eagle.cool.

I like.
Eagle - Organize design files has never been easier
A better way to collect, search and organize your design files in a logical way and all in one place.

ChatGPT offering up suggestions to keep the conversation going is more annoying than its excessive use of em dashes.

I miss the days when everything was a file on my computer synced to Dropbox. Local-first and portable, backed up and accessible on the cloud.

Folder-based organisation wasn't that bad, was it?

Is there a modern PKM tool that's basically files and folders under the hood?*

*Obsidian overwhelms me!

Whoa! 🤯
Launching OverType:

overtype.dev

I got so frustrated with WYSIWYG editors I built my own.

The twist? It's just a textarea.
