Private mentions are starting to look really good in #FediReader

Hoping to add a few more tweaks before the next release

Currently bouncing between iOS dev in Codex and web dev on Cursor having to switch up my terminology from SwiftUI to CSS for styling

Giving me whiplash

50 years of Apple. 50 years of building tools that respect the user. VaultSort exists because macOS deserves file organization that's as thoughtful as the OS itself — no subscriptions, no telemetry, just Rust-powered secure deletion and AI that runs on your machine. Privacy-first automation for a privacy-first platform. #MacOS #IndieApps

My workflow between Codex and Linear is pretty cool, I have it set up so that it makes sub-issues if, in developing for this one issue we run into other ones that end up getting wrapped up into this branch

All of which ends up linking back to GitHub and is completely visible to you all

Basically allows auto-documentation of what's been done so I can just focus on making sure things look and feel good to use

I built https://theapplottery.com to help indie devs get traction and reviews.

Getting someone to review your app can feel like pulling teeth, so the idea is simple: devs help devs. Submit your app and each cycle a random app gets featured.

Hoping if enough apps get added organically, the reach grows beyond just the developers submitting.

Would love feedback!

@dale Well I guess the tiny company I founded to run my hobby project is not exactly "the software industry", but it _is_ software and in its small niche, people find it useful:

With @ChronoLink, I provide a flexible calendar synchronization service that helps people juggle multiple calendar accounts and avoid overbooking.

It features a permanently free plan that is not crippled regarding functionality. Also, I try to make the paid plans as affordable as possible because in my opinion, competitors are totally overpriced.

To me, it is more important that this service exists than it is to cover its operational and other costs quickly. I'm also toying with ideas like regional pricing (shout out to @fontwerk who also do that) and free premium plans for community organizers and others who work for public benefit.

In my 30s, a health scare forced me to rethink everything.

I stopped waiting for "someday" and started building tools I actually needed:

📊 Momentum – habit + goal tracking
💊 PillPal – medication management
📖 The Deliberate Breath – a book on slowing down

All three are live now. Built with purpose, not just code.
