🧭 I was going to be an archaeologist but I changed my mind when I found out that it wasn't as exciting as in Indiana Jones.
First thing I did this morning: check how I slept.

Second thing: smile because the feature actually works.

Coming soon to @fitwoody.camp.

I don’t ask for much in life.

Good coffee. Sunny days for cycling. My app not crashing in production.

And confirmation that the #StrangerThings finale wasn’t actually the finale.

Netflix, I know you’re hiding something. January 7th. Spill it.

The real power of AI coding tools isn’t building apps faster.

It’s turning “I’d love to do this but it’s not worth the time” into “done.”

I needed to download 14 seasons of a podcast scattered across the web. 5 minutes with Claude Code it mass downloaded converted to MP3.

Forget cars or watches. The real wealth indicator is how many layers your toilet paper has.

2-ply? Middle class.
3-ply? Doing well.
4-ply? You’ve made it.
1-ply? We need to talk.

New year, new FitWoody feature cooking: sleep analysis.

92 score. 100% quality. 8+ hours of actual sleep.

Finally, an area of my life where I’m overachieving.

We’re putting the finishing touches on this one. Can’t wait to ship it.

2025 goal: 2000 km on the bike

Final result: 1261 km

Started late. Got momentum. Then life happened. Work, chaos, excuses.

But here’s the thing: I still crushed last year’s total.

Progress > perfection.

2026? Those 2000 km aren’t escaping me.

What’s your fitness goal for next year? 👇

My #1 tip for #ClaudeCode:

Don’t rush to build.

Spend serious time talking through the plan. Debate approaches. Poke holes.

Once you’ve nailed it together, execution is almost boring.

The magic is in the conversation.

AI didn't break your app.

It just exposed that your business logic was hostage to your UI all along.

Here's why software architecture matters more than ever: www.microbyte.blog/software-arc...

Last days of the year = final push for FitWoody 2.2 🚀

We’ve been working on a brand new sleep analysis algorithm.
The challenge: capturing sleep as a single, coherent picture while still evaluating every phase and detail independently.

We’re in the final stretch, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun polishing the @fitwoody.camp onboarding 🫨

It probably wasn’t necessary to recreate the patterns of a real passport… but we did it anyway 😅

That’s how the #FitPassport was born, a new way to see how you’re doing and what kind of athlete you are.

Now available in the @fitwoody.camp beta 🪪✨

We don’t usually show this kind of thing, but here’s a video of the very first prototype of the #FitPassport from @fitwoody.camp. You can’t imagine how much it has evolved over the past few weeks. 🫣

So much for those who say you can’t build cool stuff with #SwiftUI.

For the past few weeks, the MX Master 3s has been disconnecting from my computer every time I put my Mac to sleep, and I have to pair it again.

I’ve tried switching mice, updating, etc. Any recommendations?
October 7, 2025 at 8:00 AM
We’ve all said:
👉 “This year for sure”
👉 “I’ll start on Monday”
👉 “Tomorrow I begin”

The problem was never starting.
The problem was staying consistent.

Starting today, that gets easier with @fitwoody.camp. Beta 3 is live 🎯

You don’t get an email from Apple every day saying they want to feature you on the App Store.

Getting this message right now, while we’re working hard on the V2 of @fitwoody.camp, is one of those small joys that keeps you going.

Now it’s @patricia-bedoya.bsky.social’s turn to get the assets ready!

Localizing the app into 34 languages without breaking the UI.
Hebrew, Arabic, German… everything fits just right.
No redrawing a single screen.
No hacks.

📐 Because if your design breaks with a German label…
It wasn’t good design.

I wouldn’t think twice about trading my 11” iPad Pro for this… just to run Xcode + Claude Code.

With the AI boom, the most interesting apps aren’t on iOS anymore — they’re on Mac or the browser.

🧠 In @fitwoody.camp V1, we adjusted your daily goal based on how you were feeling but no one really noticed. Literally.

🤷🏻‍♂️ You saw fewer calories and thought: “Does the app love me less today?”

It’s the least exciting thing we’re doing for @fitwoody.camp V2, but I couldn’t be prouder of how the Settings turned out. ⚙️

In April, before Apple even announced #LiquidGlass, we were already playing with translucent materials for the new @fitwoody.camp home screen.

✨ No specs. No guidelines. Just intuition, rumors… and a few clues hidden in Sports and Invites.

Buying cheap knockoffs is ignorance of what it means to imagine, create, and put yourself out there.

Cycling can count as work when what you’re building is a fitness app 🚴‍♂️

Some thoughts on dogfooding, empathy and truly understanding your users when you're developing an app.

I know App Store Connect has a bad rep for reviews… but what’s going on with #PlayStore these past weeks takes the cake:
🔹 Arbitrary rejections of things previously approved
🔹 3-7 days to review an internal test build

Insane.

The kind of work no one sees… but everything depends on 🧹

✅ Core of @fitwoody.camp fully rewritten
✅ Swift 6 + modern concurrency
✅ Own backend: @supabase.com + @powersync.com
✅ Goodbye to 1.0’s technical debt

Not flashy work, but it’s what holds everything together.
Now the fun🔥 #buildinpublic
