I've made a start 👇 Definitely not the final design but it's the concept I'm going for. Next up, I'll work on the auth.

After yesterday's Cloudflare outage took down DownDetector... I think it's it time to start working again on a decentralised alternative built on @bsky.app 💪

So, I failed this over the weekend. I was so motivated at the beginning, I then got to Saturday night and got burnt out. I also think there are more worthwhile platforms out there that have built incredibly engagement so adding another pre-launch tool doesn't make sense.
🚀WEEKEND CHALLENGE: I’m building
Tease Launch LIVE.
A tiny pre-launch platform for indie makers.
Submit → Curated weekly drops → Metrics -> Promote
Goal: MVP live by Monday morning.
Follow along. Submit your tease. Break the noise.

AWS outage yesterday? Your status page is your lifeline. If you can't log in to update it during an outage, it's time to rethink providers.
Post-incident review: prioritise a reliable, accessible status page to keep users informed.

Well, that wasn’t most of my evening spent trying to get OAuth set up via @bsky.app and my little app. Wrapping up the evening with it fully working and ready to work on the stream of statuses tomorrow!

🚀 It's been a month since I posted I was starting a small project built on top of @atproto.com and @bsky.app. Well, after understanding a bit more about how things should work... I've purchased the domain, got a rough blueprint & about to code the OAuth flow! #buildinpublic

Hey everyone! I am looking for people who are interested in or already are a 'bluesky influencer'.
I am looking to get my bluesky tool in front of more people. This would be paid of course. Feel free to send me a DM if you are interested!

Thought I'd give the new #chatgpt apps a go, specifically #Spotify. I read the OpenAI announcement "Apps will be available today to all logged-in ChatGPT users outside of the EU"... I'm in the UK, we're not in the EU (anymore). Specifically say EU + UK if that's the case 🤦♂️

Took a few last minute days camping in the lovely Dawlish! Back home today and then ready to start working on my ATProto status project 💪

Well, this is worrying. GitHub is essentially being moved into the AI era. I do not want my code to the stored, inspected and consumed by AI. Thankfully, there are alternatives like @tangled.sh but getting PaaS/IaaS providers to implement is going to be a journey.

Almost the start of a new week, folks! I’ve made an effort to not be bound to the screen today. We’re coming into a heatwave in the UK so fully making most of being outside with family! Back to it tomorrow!

Happy Saturday, folks! Up early and already a productive morning (after a cup of tea ☕️). I've shipped the landing page for @firecircle.co 🥳 It's simple, but that's all it needs for now.

Super lucky that I can step out of my house, and walk into a wild meadow. When the sun is shining, a gentle breeze and the sound of birds, it truly helps me to take a breather and clear my mind.

Getting back to building a product 💪 Took time to walk along the river, flesh out the idea and refine it over a 🍺! Excited to be back to building again!

I absolutely love meeting customers, finding out their problems and what a status page can do to solve them. I've just got off a call with a customer and I would never have thought to use status page in a way they are wanting to. Never focus on one use case 🫡

12 days in running iOS26 public beta. In that time, I've been on holiday, played a tonne of Pokemon Go, recorded videos and more. Battery life isn't great (always is the case) but so far, not really found any bugs! Liquid glass is ok, not a game changer for me.
Installed! It's going to take some time to get used to Liquid Glass - changed the tint/clear several times, still not sure. I'm sure it'll grow on me, just have to accept change. Now installing iPadOS 26 and watchOS 26 (which is taking ages to download).
Let’s go! Probably the worst thing to do before going on holiday for a week but YOLO!

Oops! I could hear a weird noise downstairs... my robot vacuum was having a bit of a fight with a shoelace 🤦♂️ The *only* thing I wish the K10 mini would be better at is obstacles like shoes.

Coming off a call with a customer about privacy concerns. Some valid points, some points I disagreed with. But ultimately, it's been a learning curve, helping to make the product better for privacy 👌
