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 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…

I have a relatively low resting heart rate of 50-60.
Apparently, an alarmingly low sleeping heart rate too!
This is every night! 👇 🙃

It drives me insane that macOS treats clicks in the tiniest gaps between UI elements as 'outside' clicks, so this happens! 👇
Been this way forever—ironic for a company like Apple with strict accessibility guidelines on "sufficiently sized controls": developer.apple.com/design/human...
Anyway… 🪫👋

London Bridge was beautiful today on my way back from the office.
The sky was so clear I could read the names of the buildings in Canary Wharf. That’s literally miles away (3, to be exact.)

I felt overwhelmed and confused while trying to design some new screens, so I procrastinated by making a logo.
I'd say it was a productive use of my time, not because it will move the needle, but because it felt like meditation. 😇
Now I just need to break out of meditation mode! 😅

Interesting!
This is how I do it for Polar Habits. 👇
Never had anyone feel offended by it, but quite a few people have told me they appreciate the discount.

How do you design a flexible CMS/website builder?
I'm trying to figure out the best way to model the data for a hypothetical website like this one.
Any tips or examples I should look at?

In just a few weeks, my Bluesky followers count passed my Twitter following, which took me 3 years of weekly writing to build!
It's known as a vanity metric, and to a large extent it's just that, but it also comes with a motivation boost and actual engagement from real people.
Feeling grateful! ☺️

I want to give therapists access to @therapyspace.co while it's still a work in progress.
To make myself feel better about letting potential customers try out an unfinished (but functional) product, I'm thinking of adding this banner to the top.
What do you think? Good or bad idea?

I set up a separate account to squat @merott.bsky.social, then I deactivated the account.
As far as I can tell, that's enough to stop anyone from registering the social handle you don't want people to take.
That said, it's also not a bad idea to explicitly direct people to your actual profile.
