    MiniTimer: a minimal macOS app for setting timers

    This past weekend I saw a tweet by Daniel Eden in which he created a very simple timer app using SwiftUI and Combine frameworks.

    I decided to make one for myself because I thought it would be really useful at work and also because it was a very practical way to learn some Swift programming.

    As I was at it I took the time to make a simple icon — because why not?

    The original code can be found in Daniel Eden’s Github. Thanks, Daniel!

  • The Stupidest Person in the Room

    From all the time that I spend consuming weird videos about vintage videogames, cooking, and programming, I am currently, particularly obsessed with Wintergatan’s channel on YouTube.

    In the Wintergatan Wednesdays’ series, Martin Molin shares his building process for the upcoming Marble Machine X, a musical instrument designed to produce tight music.

    “Being the stupidest person in the room is the best situation you can find yourself in… Because that’s where you’re learning.”
