🟩🟩🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 30% to alpha
I’ve been in Japan now for a week and it’s been a blast. ☺️ Didn’t manage to do much work but sometimes you have to take a break from #buildinpublic.

Hello from Osaka!
It’s my first time in Japan & I really like it so far. 🥰

#buildinpublic update: multiscreen tests.
I added ability to split screens, which will enable the user to map out their workspace however they want to.
We believe that complex 'outside the box' layouting in Diskura will improve performance, by finally setting us free from the 1 screen prison.

For #founders - it’s not late! These are the stats on success. VCs tend to invest younger for various reasons but business happens later. It also takes more time than you think!

#buildinpublic update:
this week I updated our website where we write more about our progress. Check it out on www.diskura.com
it's really cute. You get to meet our co-founder.

desktop is alive 🧟‍♂️

#buildinpublic update:
- we initiated electron for the desktop version
- layout engine is working but needs more finetuning
- components need to talk to slots, and slots back to components, we now have a system for it

A sidenote, saw this at a crossing. Supporting fellow makers 🫶

#buildinpublic update:
• we built a coordinate based custom layout engine
• we can switch between layouts without any hassle or heavy coding
• it's fully adjustable, and we can map out pages very quickly as well as run changes
• the goal is to have a very sophisticated expandable UI for creatives

Today was nice. Needed a break.

Saw this on a walk. Wonder what was their tipping point 🤭

I went to Naples, Italy over the weekend for a little break. It was a cute trip and I recommend it. For those who want it to be a bit more calm, stay in Vomero or Chiaia, center town is another dimension not made for the weak 🙃

Good morning. Today is a beautiful day in London. I’m on my way to get a red velvet cake at Harrods and I think that means this will be a great day. ☺️

#buildinpublic update 17:
I've noticed modern saas has mostly rid itself of buttons.
Core actions? Hidden in menus and icons.
"Upgrade" is often the only button you'll find.
I'm exploring ways to bring buttons back, but they feel dated & heavy once placed. Have to figure it out.

Ran a workspace setup test today. As you type your needs the workspace sets up in the background based on what you write.
Ignore the workspace dashboard, that’s just a dummy. #buildinpublic

We are tapped out of tools/apps we want to use.
Up to 20 places max.
Your product can’t occupy place 21 unless it’s a whole new category innovation. Most likely it has to replace something in these 20 places.

Here is also the original, me struggling with my broken swedish.

I want to encourage you to always try things even if you can’t do them.

I struggled learning swedish so I started making music to bridge the gap as I was a songwriter.
This was the first demo that I properly fleshed out as a hyperpop tune - Månen (moon), and it’s really close to my heart. 💛💙 #sverige #sweden

I can’t tell you enough how obsessed I am with my glossier pocket mirror.

💪 The Builders pilot complete.
To learn how to lead and mentor others, Vic and I built an incubator we wished we'd had as working class founders.
2 years mentoring 5 non-tech people, 4,000+ hours of support, free equipment & trips. Digital businesses launched. Slack shut off, mission accomplished.

I'll age myself with this post. I don't know if any New Yorkers are in the house here and remember this place, but can we all agree that sweegreen is NOTHIN' comparing to Pax at its prime in early 00s.

Been cleaning up work folders and came across this image on VC investments in UK, from a few years back.

I don't think anything has changed since then. Depresso.

Empty London tube. Throwback photo I took from covid times. Can't imagine it now.

Added a bunch of features to Purfect, my Figma file organiser.
Here is a quick walkthrough. 👇
The goal is to make your stuff so organised it makes you purrr with satisfaction :)

Still buggy, but I am slowly getting there.
