Last Wednesday I gave a talk at Ping, Bekk’s student conference in Trondheim.

Last night I gave a talk at the Bart.js meetup in Trondheim about product discovery, and what AI is doing to it.

Opus 5 is a strong coding model, but it answers every question with a word salad.

Last week I shipped BookScanner 2026.4, the first version with umami-swift analytics on board.

Since umami-swift shipped, a few people have asked me the same thing: what do I tell Apple in the App Privacy questionnaire?

Every app I’ve shipped has many catch blocks to deal with failures which doesn’t crash the app.

Game developers use the term “juice” for the small animations, particles, sounds and vibrations that make an action feel satisfying.

Since I already self-host Umami, I wanted the same experience for my apps without a heavyweight analytics SDK, an IDFA prompt, or a third party collecting data on my behalf.

This is a guide for running your own privacy-friendly web analytics: cookieless, first-party so ad blockers do not eat it, and cheap to run.

SinceTag is now on the Mac App Store.
