What I'm focused on right now.

A short, honest snapshot of current work — updated when things genuinely change, not on a schedule.

Last updated

Shipping

  • Mira — post-launch

    Watching how people actually use the emotion tagging, and cutting anything that adds friction to a daily check-in.

  • Weekly reflections

    Making the weekly summary genuinely worth opening rather than another notification.

  • Debt planner polish

    Refining the Avalanche and Snowball comparison so the trade-off is obvious at a glance.

Goals this quarter

  • First 100 active users

    Not downloads — people who open Mira in a given week and get something out of it.

  • Write weekly

    One honest build-in-public post every week, revenue numbers included.

  • 1,000 subscribers

    Grow the newsletter with genuinely useful writing rather than launch noise.

Building

  • Shared design system

    Extracting Mira’s components into a reusable package, so the next app starts further along.

  • Offline sync

    Rewriting the sync layer to handle conflicts properly instead of last-write-wins.

Reading

  • The Design of Everyday Things — Don Norman

    A re-read. It gets better every time.

  • Shape Up — Ryan Singer

    Rethinking how I scope solo six-week cycles.

  • Refactoring — Martin Fowler

    Slowly, and with a lot of margin notes.

Learning

  • Swift & SwiftUI

    Going deeper on native iOS to complement Flutter.

  • App Store optimisation

    Working out what actually moves downloads versus what people claim does.

  • Motion design

    Studying how Apple and Linear use timing curves to communicate state.

Elsewhere

  • Based in Oman

    Working from Muscat, mostly early mornings.

  • Conferences

    Planning to attend one mobile development conference later this year.

This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers.
