Update — April 11th, 2025

I’m coming up to a few anniversaries for my projects and I thought I’ll do a quick recap of where it’s all at.

Tinylytics

The code is a little over two years old now, and I officially launched in June, around 2 years ago. It’s been super successful in my eyes. I am happy with it.

There were a few missteps on the way and some growing pains, but I am happy with the way things are naturally progressing.

I do need to think how to more entice people on the free plan to consider upgrading — however it is fine as it is as there is a longterm idea.

Super thankful there is broad set of customers now, so it’s good to see different use cases.

As I said in the past, this is going to be my bread and butter until I hit the deathbed.

Scribbles

One year anniversary just officially passed, even though I did soft launch it a little earlier than that.

It started with a bang, super duper happy. Now it is dead in terms of income.

Saying that, it’s active and blogs are running. I enjoy seeing the posts on Explore and I get a lot of nice emails from users — that is all that matters to me.

I’ll keep working on it until my brain fries, even if progress seems slow. I’ve been regularly adding features too. Although I have zero hope that it will ever recover and that’s OK because it has a use case for me and a few select others too.

Sublime Feed

Yes, that feed reader. It is amazing and it’s what I use to read blogs.

Another dead project though. Not sure what to do with it. For now, it’ll stay as is as I have a few lifetime accounts. So another project that will die with me as I take it to my grave (although I hope my family burns me — it's what we all agreed).

Other stuff

There are other projects, but I won’t touch on them.

This week has been somewhat difficult, actually the past months have been, and this week I wanted to burn my blog to the ground — just leave the ashes and keep the homepage.

Writing helps me cope, so I think it’s a little stupid of me to do that.

Anyway, I’ve been actually tweaking some stuff on my blog, brought back some things, removed others, and I am happy. Small things that I haven’t done for over a year.

I am preparing for a longer break though as I have a lot of things going on — and that has to come first.

However, I am done with other things and drama now — past is the past, was great whilst it lasted. So yeah, that’s where I am at.

Thanks for reading, and yeah, this is how I am feeling today.
