something i’ve been holding back for a while. two years ago, one of my biggest dreams came true: i got to work on interfaces for a movie starring Chris Pratt. together with Alex Bystrov, Slava Yaremenko and Misha Katz we designed Mercy OS, a fictional AI judge, for the film Mercy (2026).

one thing i’ve learned from building productivity apps is that everyone’s brain works differently. elements that motivate some people can distract others. that’s why, as we add more features to Joi Planner, we make sure you can mix and match features in a way that works for you.

since i use obsidian pretty much for anything, including todos and collecting links, i needed a quick way to append any text to existing notes. so, meet markie. i'm too lazy to make a proper intro video, so here's a screen recording with a groovy jazz beat.

i wonder, now that every tech bro is obsessed with making their own open source markdown editor for agents, should i revive this project and make one for humans?

started learning dutch a couple of weeks ago, and couldn't find a well-designed app for flashcards to memorize new words. well, had to make my own one.

huh, interesting. on the Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast podcast Josh Miller claims that they've 'trained an on-device ML model' in Dia, but it looks like they're just parsing question words like what, why, how, etc. this kind of bs is why people don't trust tech bros (and i wouldn't too)

a few people asked if this is the real app. well, the short answer is no, it's not. the long answer: last year, Andrei Ildiakov and I were messing around with the idea of a social app with short-form updates for small groups of friends. we designed and prototyped a few proofs of concept, but eventually decided to move on to other projects for now. however, if this idea clicks (no pun intended) with you, and you know a thing or two about launching social apps (or your name starts with Nikita Bier) hit me up. →

honestly, at this point i think i enjoy working on macOS apps more than on iOS. ✅ proof of concept (1 day) ✅ logic + UI (3 days) ⏳ publish to testflight (in progress) who wants to test it first? → (coming soon)

i know i’m supposed to be working on the Joi Planner mac app, but every weekend i challenge myself to build a side project: something small that can be done in a day or two. mostly for fun, sometimes to wrap my head around a new topic or technology. yet, i never end up sharing anything. so in the spirit of change, i’m putting this one out there. meet Ambie Journal (name pending), an app for daily self-expression through freewriting, that only allows you to create one note per day (just like a paper journal would). no cloud storage, no markdown, no spell check, no AI, no images, just text. everything is stored locally in .txt format. should i release it?
