Been working on this little hobby project for several weekends. It's ready to show my friends. Most sky apps tell you what's up. Dark Hours tells you the truth: whether tonight is worth it, when, and which way to look. Free, no account, go nuts! darkhours.io #astronomy #stargazing

Spoiler alert: it’s another banger.

This is a short film about A/B testing, algorithmic optimization, and the small act of ignoring both. About what it means to make something by hand in a world that can tell you, with a number, exactly what would have worked better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Frn...

Your music library became endless. Something quiet disappeared when it did. A short documentary about formats, streaming, and trying to work out whether the music changed, or I did. My first video essay. Had a blast and it would be so fun to make more of these! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzzN...

I’ve been a little distant lately, just super head down on something worth it. A short list of what it entails: FX3, A7, Misc Aputure rigs, an iPod, lots of black paper, a few paperclips, and a hell of a story. 👀 Be back soon.

Why do standards created in the 1970s continue to power the modern internet? According to @terrygodier.com, it’s because they’re “too useful to disappear, too uncool to hype, too federated to acquire, and too awkward to turn cleanly into a platform.” www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-i...

The Boring Internet

The internet you grew up on isn't dying. A commercial veneer glued on top of it is. A visual essay about what actually persists.

Just added an OPML to the Sourcefeed discover page. This little service continues to grow by leaps and bounds and there’s a real culture developing here. It’s been inspiring and heartwarming and interesting to see how it develops!

I’ve been experimenting with a flagship Android device for the past few days. Can anyone point me to some incredible paid up front / commercial indie apps for Android? I want to see the best of the best. Bonus points if it’s something crafted by one person.

I've linked to Terry Godier a few times lately (primarily with regards to being influenced by Current, his RSS // feed reader) and am going to do so again.

Listen, friends. I love Linux, but I can’t, in good faith, deliver software with the level of information density you seem to require. But I love you anyway <3

😅 you're gonna break it! That station is broadcasting from a $5/mo box!

Via a listserv of early-days Internet mavens, I've dived into @terrygodier.com's world - the un-enshittified Internet hiding behind the surface we live on (and are coopted by). This essay: www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-i... and his "radio station" below...

What I want to build are things that work the old fashioned way, on protocols that give users sovereignty and agency, but with modern thinking applied to the UI and UX. That’s it. That’s my whole shtick. Thanks!

All I want in life is a modern version of Yojimbo that re-imagines Finder as a surface to drag and drop and save and recall and organize various things. Text snippets, memes, contacts, dmgs, webpage archives, bookmarks, json files, whatever. Persistent, visual, spatial, wonderful. Too much?

Software as the Product of Obsession Times Voice

You might think it counterintuitive that a movement obsessed with software would be spearheading a severe decline in the design quality of software, but in Patel’s definition, there’s no concept of software as art, as a practice, as a craft. Software brain is purely an obsession with software as a medium in and of itself. A means with no consideration for the end.

Until I find a solution to bridge RSS over here to Bluesky, I'm doing #songoftheday posts over on Sourcefeed: www.sourcefeed.app/feed/playlist RSS is 100% the right format (though I can't wait for Sourcefeed to have an API so I can make a userscript to make sharing to Sourcefeed less manual)

This post hit me in my soul.

I think we've had enough of shiny apps that provide "a personalized experience" in return of our attention and identity. I hope we return to a simpler mode of internet soon.

My plan with RSS: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/05/04/my-plan-with-rss.html

there is only one correct way to redesign GitHub and this is it

A little UI design tip for engineers: If your app has broken, unfinished features that management forced you to include for business reasons, you can just use this handy little icon to let users know where not to click
