London in 16 litres
Ten days in London in late November, with a laptop, a full-frame camera and a game controller, all in an Aer City Pack 2 Ultra. What goes where, what it weighs and what I left behind.
Moving to Android (part three): the keyboard
Years of iPhone muscle memory fell apart on Samsung's keyboard, so I rebuilt the iOS keyboard for the Fold, with a full layout for the cover screen and a staggered split layout for the inner screen.
Moving to Android (part two): the fold animation
Recreating the iPhone Duo's glass-pane opening animation on a Galaxy Z Fold8, what changed when the maths met a real hinge, and what still doesn't work.
Moving to Android (part one): look and layout
I swapped an iPhone 13 Pro for a Galaxy Z Fold8 and set it up to look like Apple's iPhone Duo, from the home screen to the notification centre, app switcher and icons, so the move felt smaller.
My Mac setup
Everything I liked about Omarchy, rebuilt on macOS, plus every app I install and the commands to set it all up.
Blockstarter (part one): concept
Kickstarter with an escrow contract. Backers' money stays locked per project and reaches the inventor one milestone at a time, when backers vote to release it.
Vault
A zero-dependency Node CLI that encrypts my .env files with envelope encryption, so I can delete old repos without losing their secrets.
Dubai Hammers
The website, iOS and Android app, and data API for the West Ham supporters club in the UAE, built and run on my own.
