Just installed @raycastapp on my Mac. After playing around with it for a few minutes, I think Alfred is a thing of the past.

There are many great web design inspo sites out there, but I think I've just found the best one: @godlywebsite

Beautifully curated and new sites every day.

The new @framer looks really promising 👀

Seems to be even simpler than Webflow which is great news for no-coders!

On an additional note, looks like their previous main product Framer X is gone...

Things 3 without the sidebar on Mac is just such a beautifully designed app. It's exactly the minimalist aesthetic that I dig🤩

.⁦@Spotify⁩ seems to have gotten rid of that weird ”play in shuffle mode“ button in playlists.

You can now toggle the shuffle mode individually right next to the play button.

Like it :)

The @typefully drafts feature has become my go-to way for jotting down quick ideas I randomly get or pick up.

It forces me to articulate them in just one Tweet. And I have the possibility to tweet them later on.

Pro tip: Save the progressive web app on your phone's home screen.

I've always struggled with finishing the projects I started. That needs to change.

So I set myself up for a challenge: Over the course of the next 7 days, I'm gonna plan, design, build & launch my first product!

Follow along in this ongoing thread 👇
(RTs appreciated, thanks!)

Sharing your progress in public is a skill that has to be learned. I find it especially difficult to post about the "boring" stuff cause I always think it doesn't interest anyone anyways…

How are you dealing with this feeling?🤔

TIL that @webflow has a contrast checker built-in right in the color picker. Very handy and great to see that attention to detail!

App tip of the day: @getmatterapp

With the latest 2.0 update, it really is the read later app that I've always wanted: Clean & minimalist design, various integrations, unlimited highlights.

Time to ditch Instapaper👋

Constantly switching between @evernote and @NotionHQ for building my #secondbrain. I like the search aspect of Evernote and that you can create new notes quite easily. On the other hand, databases are such a handy feature in Notion.

Aaargh... Anyone else experiencing this?🤔

Having less choices is often times more of a blessing than a curse.
It's the same with creativity, the more constraints the better the result. Usually.

Hey @typefully, just wanted to let you know, that in the “Tweeted” view, the Tweets are only sorted by day and month but not by year. See the screenshot below.

Just preordered the “from consumer to creator”-course by @AlexLlullTW & @AlexMaeseJ. What excites me the most is that it's only 1 hour's worth of content so you can get started right away.

Really looking forward to the launch and taking Twitter more seriously!

I'm gonna start what I call a public idea scrapbook.

In this ongoing thread, I'll share my (crappy) project ideas as I get them, raw and unfiltered. Leave your feedback or build them yourself.

1 tweet = 1 idea

Let's go👇

Really like the ⁦@Spotify⁩ enhanced playlist feature! It kinda makes your playlists feel more like radios. Already discovered some great songs with it 🙌

One of my pet peeves is deleting all the query parameters from an url before sharing it.

Gotta keep them urls clean💆🏻‍♂️

another great quote from my journaling app that really resonated with me:

“a bad day for your ego is a great day for your soul.”

shoutout to @iPGregor for creating @punktapp – a simple journaling app that's so great that i've somehow managed to write an entry for 300 days straight 🥳

if you also want to start journaling in 2022, i highly recommend checking it out!

little personal update:

yesterday i ran my first 10k in under 50 minutes – which means i had an average pace < 5min/km 🙌

running is one of the things i discovered this year. feels great to end it with this little milestone :)

you can always choose, what you care about in life. and therefore also what you don't want to pay attention to.

your attention and focus are some of your most valuable resources. don't waste them on the 90% of things that are not worth it.

little reminder:

no matter what, the sky is always blue. you sometimes just have to wait until the clouds fade away.

this is not only true in nature – your mind and its thoughts work the same.

simple rules for a better life – according to marcus aurelius:

  1. don't postpone your actions.
  2. speak so you don't confuse anyone.
  3. don't let your thoughts wander around.
  4. don't let your soul become passive or aggressive.
  5. not everything in life should be about business.

if i've learned to enjoy one thing this past year, it's going for a run in the evening.

the obvious side effect is better fitness in general and also better endurance.

but what i've vastly underestimated is the effect this habit has on my mental health.

on being happy.

don't postpone your happiness.
don't wait until all your problems are solved and your todo list is empty to become happy.

enjoy the present moment.
enjoy the journey, not the destination.
