Experimenting with SwiftUI code generation from ChatGPT and Claude. Claude seems far more thorough, including things like form input validation and data models.

I think I’m getting the hang of this newsletterr thing. Issue five of The Angelo Report goes out today at 5PM EDT and I’m actually kinda happy with it.
-
It’s the first of the month, so that means a new post at Two Common Cents Club, where I write about trying to grow my little side business!
-
📰 Issue 3 of The Angelo Report is now out:
-
Walked into an Apple Store and holy smokes they REALLY want you to try out Vision Pro. Had to refuse multiple times.
-
Going to try using my new website logo as my PFP on social for a bit. I think there’s more humanity to having your actual visage there, but let’s see.
-
Issue 1 of The Angelo Report shipped yesterday, in which I lament my keyboard’s broken G key and choosing to make things worse.
-
The inaugural edition of The Angelo Report is going out in about 40 minutes.
Please don’t subscribe, your inbox deserves better.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with a two-list “active-and-backlog” task management system, over the GTD-ish system I’d used in the past. I’m personally finding that both are equally easy to ignore, though.

I’m reworking my personal site a bit — making it more of a landing page for now, but will be eventually adding more pages. Feeling pretty good about the current state of the design.
Feedback welcome!

I’m trying to decide where Micro.blog fits into my online life. 🤔
I really like the community here, but I’m struggling to engage with folks lately (not just here, but everywhere)—and that is partly because my social media use has gotten pretty fractured between personal and business posts.

I love newsletters so much that in my spare time I’m building an iOS app to manage your newsletters — if I can find the time between writing newsletters. 🙃

Merlin may be a pain in the ass most of the time, but he’s also a pretty affectionate little buddy in the wee hours of the morning.
-
The first issue of The Atelier Journal, in which I discuss my upcoming iOS app for managing your Buttondown newsletters, goes out tomorrow!
Sign up for it here.

I’ve thought about doing a “side hustle with me” (terrible name, I know) video call or live stream, where we commit to working on our individual projects, can chat with each other about how things are going, and build stuff together.
Interested? Let me know: tally.so/r/mV02Nv

A Love Letter to Personal Projects:

Merlin isn’t feeling all this snow.

As the saying goes, “April blizzards bring May wizards.” 🧙

I am simultaneously:
- so, so, tired of keeping up with tech b) terrified that I’ll be left behind as I age if I don’t
-
On Saturday, I mentioned that I’m building a Buttondown client for iOS and shared a survey for feedback.
Yesterday, I put up a landing page where you can subscribe for updates (and beta testing, when it’s ready): atelier.software

I’m doing a bit of market research for my upcoming iOS app for managing Buttondown newsletters!
If you use the service and have two minutes to fill out this form, I’d really appreciate it.

Much as I love Overcast, transcriptions in the Apple Podcast app are a game changer. Not only is it great to read along when listening (I love Readwise Reader for this!), it also makes it really handy to scroll and tap-to-skip the ads that you’ve heard 800 times already. 👍

Wow, hundreds of downloads already since making Thought Detox free.
It just makes sense if the app is accessible to everyone, and move the business model to tip jar/patronage.
Get it here: apps.apple.com/app/apple…

In preparation of moving Thought Detox to a patronage/tipjar business model, the app is now FREE to download from the App Store.
Work through your most private thoughts on your most personal device.

Today at Two Common Cents Club, I talk about cash flow forecasting and the mindset shift it allowed me — giving me permission to experiment quickly and fail fast.
Read the whole thing here, and download the free sheet I use to forecast my cash flows.
