AI is a wonderful thing until it comes for your product, isn’t it? Many tools are starting to bite the dust. There’s no use in fighting the future or pretending everything will be ok. That’s why I’m focusing on building curated platforms and publishing tools that matter even more when AI takes over....

Well, last night got a bit chaotic around here. While trying to improve tid’s email notifications, I made a boo-boo and resent some messages that had already been delivered. I probably should have not stayed up coding until dawn (though it was fun). If you received duplicate emails, you can roast me...

February is almost over, to my surprise. tid kept me busy, and I didn’t share as much as I’d planned (though it’s never too late to start). Here’s a video with some of the latest improvements. These changes are now live so you can start using them right away 😊 Btw, as soon as Chrome approves the bro...

Today, almost no one knows about tid. It feels strangely wonderful. Like catching an early sunrise. Spreading the word will take time, and I’ve got nothing but time. Thanks for being here early. Photo by Miles Manwaring

The dogs are calmer now too. Longer walks, less cabin fever, fewer dramatic sighs while I stare at the...

As you consider different platforms for your blog, it’s natural to wonder how long they’ll be around and if the developers are invested or just throwing darts at the board. After all, most startups fold within 2 to 5 years. As someone who is obsessed with software, I know firsthand how frustrating i...

Those who know me know I can be a bit of a control freak—on and off screen. For years I had dozens of folders and iCloud rules keeping my inbox perfectly sorted and squeaky clean. Sometime in the past year, Apple Mail added automatic categories. I completely missed it and kept dragging and sorting m...

Those of us who grew up with the internet remember fondly the good old days when social media was in its infancy, when blogging platforms felt human, and when big tech companies hadn’t yet degraded our favorite sites. For years, I dreamt of creating a blogging platform that’s easy to use and inspire...

It’s been 3.5 years since minimarks launched on Product Hunt and became #3 Product of the Day. That was a dream come true and somehow feels like yesterday. That moment, and the months leading up to it, changed everything. I realized, after countless failures, that it was possible to build a product ...
