Thinking out loud

I've had a blog since I was 14, a gloriously cringe Blogger phase, which means I've been writing for about as long as I've had a sense of self. Fiddling with that blog is also how I fell for design, emo edits and all, and eventually why I went and studied it. Writing has never been neat for me: ADHD means the ideas arrive faster than the proofreading, so I go for the thought over the polish. Not a perfectionist about the details, never careless about the substance. I love reading and writing too much not to do it out loud, typos and all.

  On the 21st of September my brother and I signed for a masia in the Catalan mountains. The house I grew up in, why these places survived four hundred years intact, what they actually cost, and what we found out about the one we bought. →

  I rebuilt my oldest baby. Bye bye Elementor (not WordPress, WordPress you're the GOAT)

  This month I reworked my oldest baby, Un poco de sur. Why I kept WordPress (headless), said bye to Elementor, and rebuilt the front end in Astro: faster, at AI speed, and without losing a decade of posts and comments. →

  Well, June was a bit of a mess. July, I made it!

  June got away from me and I shipped no project, so I'm extending this by a month. But plenty moved: the masia purchase, a second app (Landt) to help you land a job, my first Chrome extension, and an Obsidian system that finally sticks. →

  It's March, I built a sustainable wardrobe app

  This became a digital version of "why buy a sweater when I can spend 500€ on supplies and 500 hours and do it myself". →

  How all this started

  I won't pretend I know what I am doing here, nor will I pretend that I don't either. →
