ouch, Google rejected my extension 😅
reason: "keyword spam"
my crime? writing that it works in Gmail, Slack, Discord, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Notion, WhatsApp and Telegram
because it does 🤷♂️
ok, removing them and trying again https://t.co/6e0do4AX1F
I can't work on just one product at a time 😅
My laptop is burning Opus/Fable tokens like hell right now:
1. Web version of Post Formatter
2. Blurr update with the features people asked for
3. Keeping my old products alive
4. Drafting new ideas
How many things are you
I have a tradition. Every September I spend 1-2 weeks in the mountains.
No plan, no bookings. I don't even know if I'll be in Switzerland or Italy tomorrow. Only rule: wherever I sleep, there have to be mountains around me.
