I have a soft spot for browsers.

I'm returning to privacy-focused products after being seduced by the Apple ecosystem as a student.

I find how browsers handle data fascinating. Lately, I've been switching every two weeks, just for fun

I got overwhelmed because I have too many goals:
- become independent
- built 3 projects in production for that
- 1 blog

and I don't know where I go. So i decided
- to kill every goal except one
- block 1-2 hours daily for it
- track progress

How is it doing in this Sunday?

I didn't touch any of my personal projects over the last 3 weeks. I needed this break
More quiet on bsky, reduced the activity on my blog and didn't commit on my side projects
Feel like my brain is constantly fried

Just received a new epaper gadget 👀

I love this technology and I need to figure how to use it properly

Building a project I hard.

You come back home after work.
Your brain is fried.
But you still want to create a project that would make you proud.

The last 2 weeks have been rough for me. I don’t know where I’m going.

Try to remember: “slow and steady always win”

Have you ever thought open-spaces are just modern panopticons (prison architecture where you never know if you're watched or not)?

• No guards—just peers.
• No bars—just desks.
• No rules—just eyes.

I feel more and more comfortable with #marketing

It’s all about being consistent and experiencing

I’m a grown-up

- I pay my bills
- I work 9-5
- I validate my ideas before building them

What’s the best time of the day for marketing your side project(s)?

For me I like to do it all day long, a bit randomly, and try to see a pattern 🕵️‍♂️

Earlier this week I posted about another dashboard I made on this screen. It was my most liked post ever.

Now it is the second one, after this one ⬇️

Built that before going to work. A bit minimalist for now, more will come soon.

Also I’m considering to launch a waitlist for this project. Received lots of DMs and comments (thanks ✌️) and there seems to be quite a bit of interest

I'm lost, too many projects.

I really like this #eink project. I have fun with it and I'm sure I can do something interesting.

But I don't want to share my spare time between too many projects. I want to build quality.

Anyway, how many domain names do you own?
