February is almost over, to my surprise. tid kept me busy, and I didn’t share as much as I’d planned (though it’s never too late to start). Here’s a video with some of the latest improvements. These changes are now live so you can start using them right away 😊 Btw, as soon as Chrome approves the bro...

It’s been 3.5 years since minimarks launched on Product Hunt and became #3 Product of the Day. That was a dream come true and somehow feels like yesterday. That moment, and the months leading up to it, changed everything. I realized, after countless failures, that it was possible to build a product ...

My dad and I haven’t always had a good relationship, but he’s been an inspiration to me. When I was young, he owned a graphic design business and worked tirelessly--sometimes even staying over and sleeping at his desk. Whatever it took to get the job done. Back in my 20s, when I was just starting to...
