🔥Hot take: Your to-do app is a better financial dashboard than most finance apps!

Finance apps show you where money went. Your to-do app shows you what's coming—right where you'll actually see it.

I wrote about the system that keeps me sane 👇

Ever take a screenshot… then immediately lose it in a sea of “Screenshot 2025-02-18 at 14.22.19”? Yeah. Same here. 😏

As a designer, I rely on screenshots constantly, yet macOS gives them names that are basically useless.

So I fixed the problem with a little help from AI. 👇

My return trip from a company retreat in Thailand turned into a full-blown travel mess:

✈️ 3 flights
🕓 4 hours stuck on a plane
❌ 2 missed connections

I’ve been playing with a new way of building products—one where you don’t write every line of code…

You just describe what you want, and let the AI do the rest.

Yeah, it’s called vibe coding. And it’s very real. 🧵👇

Does anyone else stare at posts for way too long before liking them? Because last time I liked ONE cat video, my feed turned into a 24/7 cat channel. Not that I'm complaining... okay maybe a little 😂

I’ve tested way too many to-do list apps, and I always come back to Todoist. But every now and then, I give Apple Reminders another shot.

It’s simple, free, built into every Apple device, and syncs seamlessly. But is that enough? 🤔

Here’s what I found after using it for a while. A thread 🧵👇

I recently switched back to Safari as my default browser on macOS, and it’s been great… mostly. But there’s one thing I really miss from using Arc: the ⌘+⇧+C shortcut to instantly copy the current tab’s URL. Turns out, muscle memory doesn’t forget so easily. 😅
