🎉 Sooo, I've been working on something fun, and I’m super excited to share it with you all! 🎉 Meet PopLight – my first-ever Mac menu bar app! It’s a tiny little dot that tells you if you’re actually connected to the internet.

Something I'd been meaning to do for sometime. Setting up a CMS UI for my Hugo powered personal website. Thank you @cassidoo and @tinacms crew at NDC London 😊

Each template is beginner-friendly, pre-configured, and skips unnecessary defaults like dock icons and app windows. If you’re curious about macOS development or want to get started quickly, check it out here: Oh, and it’s free. 🎉 Kunal and I would love to hear your feedback or see what you build!

We took our 2.5 y/o to the Christmas market in Salzburg yesterday, where she discovered these soaps. She meticulously picked up and smelled each of the 20-odd varieties before settling on these - a heart and a Euro coin. Unwittingly, of course. Still, not a bad choice in life! 😊

One thing I love about Lisbon is the open-air workout culture in public parks. There are so many 1:1 trainer led sessions every morning. The weather is still nice here - so much better than the concrete gyms.

I had a great conversation with @martynd about quick start guides—what makes them work, and what often doesn’t. It’s a topic I care deeply about, so it was a real pleasure to dive into the details and share some ideas. Thanks for having me, Martyn! Here’s the link if you’d like to listen (ft. @LaunchDarkly @kunal732):

Ahh, the fine art of creating a getting started guide for an API. It's easy, right? In this video @amit and @martynd take a look at the common mistakes to avoid, and the best practices to ensure when creating your "Hello, World" guides:

Every time I fly, I message my family: boarded, taking off, landed. For years, I did this manually. Just turned it into an iOS shortcut. It asks for my status, drafts a quick message in iMessage or WhatsApp. Super simple, but efficient. I like.

I've long admired the simplicity of @heyhey's publishing via email feature. So, I built my own version for my Hugo-powered blog using @postmarkapp, @github Actions, @digitalocean, and a bit of Python magic. Now, I just email the post to a special address, and it’s automatically published on Clean, simple, no extra steps—just how I like it. Thank you for the inspo @basecamp 🙂
