I dreamed about having an app in Google Play.

This one was in the works for a couple of weeks too. This time I made an app for Ghost. The blog thing.

I loved micro.blog app to quickly post from mobile and I'm not a fan of PWAs. So I created Nib. If you have Android and Ghost blog - give it a try. Most of my posts were created with Nib and I think you'll like it.

It's very usable without paying for it (if you're someone like me - you'll be able to use it totally for free). Get your Nib for free here!

SunZones is a beautiful, minimal app that tracks sunrise, sunset, twilight, and daylight for any place on Earth. I wanted to know how long until the days are longer (I started working on it in winter) and now, when the days are longer I'm ready to publish it. It's free, but if you want more features there's one time payment.

That's it! Hope you like it. 

WIP.

Yesterday I have pulled the plug on Wordpress and moved to Ghost. Basically wordpress was acting up, pictures weren't going through and it was THE most resource-hungry service on my server. No more. Moved to Ghost. I'm working on an app for Android to post with Ghost easier, but for now - just being off wordpress feels great.

If I had to pick one thing that I’m missing from iPhone, it would be it’s camera ecosystem. Seriously, there are SO MANY apps to shoot with.

Be the change you want to see in the world, so I’m building my own. This is the first pic from it. It’s not good, I just wanted to archive it.

GTA VI here I come!

I have never seen this type of forecast for Warsaw. What the hell.

iOS notifications were designed by someone who clearly never used notifications for anything useful.

There was something wrong with my YouTube Music account. It wasn’t working properly with Sonos because I had a channel. I’m too old for this so my agent moved my playlists and subscriptions to the main account then nuked what’s left.

This also nuked my Watch Later playlist which had about 280 movies on it. Let’s be honest that it wasn’t happening and the clean slate is actually a good idea.

I’m not listening to that much music anymore, so we dropped Spotify. YouTube Music is already in our YouTube Premium sub, so me and wifey just moved there. And I have to say, because I listen to LOTS of mixes on YouTube, the recommendation mechanism is spot on. Much better than Spotify! And when I really want to listen to something, I do have my iPod with my whole ass music library on it.

My wifey just got herself a Pixel 10 Pro and holy shit, this is the first non-Apple device in our house that genuinely feels Apple-level. Hardware AND software.

Now I’m crossing fingers the next Pixel Fold lands in Poland via official channels so I can snatch one, but until then, OnePlus 13 stays in my pocket. Still a beast of a phone.
