A personal blog about life, work, and everything in between.
Lijsje 2.0 is here. What started as a forgotten side project turned into a full rebuild with Bol.com search, multiplayer features and Secret Santa. A simple Sinterklaas request brought it back to life.
I gave a lecture at PXL. These are my slides.
I thought AI would take my job. Instead, it gave me a second brain and made me love programming all over again.
Playing around with the first hardware product from PostHog.
App speed build, but make it real: Expo + Redux + Gluestack UI + careful AI usage = 20 hours from 'dad these flashcards suck' to 'it's live in both stores' 😺
After several unfinished attempts, I finally launched my professional site - a modern take on DOS aesthetics.
The final part of my post-Automattic series, where I look back at my final months there.
Missed last week's update since I've been busy polishing my projects. Added PostHog analytics and dark mode to Lijsje, made light-up tiaras for the neighborhood parade, and caught an amazing Vampire Weekend show. Taking it slow for the holidays!
A weekly sabbatical update covering Lijsje's new sublist feature, Endgame's quiet Product Hunt launch, and a fun pixel art side-project for displaying album covers.
Released Endgame 1.1 with home screen widgets, saw Lijsje growing to 60+ lists daily, took a break to explore Antwerp's sewers, and remembered what sabbaticals are about.
