I put together a simple (very simple!) website that has a mix of notes that bring comfort to my mind. This website is primarily for my own benefit - it is a digital worry stone if you will.

Check it out here, and if it resonates, share it with others too.

This is a mindfulness app. And this popup appeared when I opened the app. Not only is it distracting, it is also aesthetically unappealing. This is the state of UI design in 2025. There has never been a bigger need for good UI designers and product managers in tech.

Logo redesigns are usually boring but I like what Eventbrite did with their brand and logo. Keeping with the times while still being simple.

Interesting notification from iOS. I have never seen a notification like this for other holidays (only for specific events I added)

ChatGPT exploration continues. And this time I have something good to say. Web Search is actually pretty good. I usually find the responses easy to follow and the presentation is pleasing too.

I made a small big change to my personal website: a fresh new font for the body text! It is a font called Safiro from Atipo Foundry.

And of course I wrote a post about it: shankarux.com/posts/post-4/

Asked for flights from Kayak (using the GPTs) in ChatGPT. One, it failed multiple times and second, it gave me loads of text for flight schedules instead of a glanceable table. Lastly, it didn’t even help me book anything.

More ChatGPT adventures. I have this grocery list I asked it to create. I have an Apple Reminders list on the right. Despite all the promise of AI, I cannot easily pull this list into reminders. So much for all the hype the tech industry has generated. I had to manually type the reminders list.

Engagement and growth as a metric is one of the worst qualities of today’s software landscape. Look at this screen on ChatGPT. 4 calls to action that are not “New chat”. I am already using your product. Why does it matter whether it is through web, the iPad app or a Mac app? Like fucking chill pls!

Had to turn this off. Unfortunately, not helpful and not accurate.
