RSS, Without the Noise
I’ve always liked RSS. You choose what to follow. New posts appear in order. There’s no algorithm deciding what should make you angry or keep you scrolling. It represents a version of the web I care about. I’ve tried many RSS readers over the years and never quite found the perfect one for me. So I decided to build it. Inkstead is a calm RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It’s divided into three…
Less Duct Tape, More Website
I think more people should own their own little corner of the internet. I don’t mean everyone needs to suddenly become a blogger, but it’s nice to have somewhere you can write things down. Post photos. Link to projects. Not a feed you’re renting from someone else. A small place on the web that is truly yours. Building and maintaining that kind of website can be a bit messy. Believe me, I know. My…

To the AI skeptics
I get why people are skeptical about AI. It’s hard not to be. The conversation around it has become noisy in a way that makes it difficult to tell what’s actually useful and what’s just marketing. Everything is suddenly “AI-powered”. Every product update is framed as the next big thing. There’s constant talk that this is the moment, and that if you’re not fully invested, you’re already behind. I…
Mythblade Is Now Available
A little under a year ago I shared a little game I was working on called Mythblade. At the time I was still figuring out its direction as a closed beta. It was most definitely still a bit rough around the edges. Nevertheless, I gathered quite the group of enthusiastic beta testers. Their feedback was really valuable and I kept, over and over again, iterating over the game design. A huge thank you…

The Urge to Create
There’s a certain tension that builds up when I haven’t made something in a while. It’s not always loud, but it’s always there – that feeling that something wants to get out. It doesn’t always take the same form. It could be a tool that solves a problem, a random idea I had for a game, or anything in between. The important thing is the act of creating. Making something new. Bringing order to the…

Introducing Mythblade
This has been a long time in the making, but today I’m ready to unveil a little project I’ve been working on. Building video games is hard. Building an MMORPG? That’s the hardest genre you could possibly build. Most game developers would tell you building an MMORPG alone is a terrible idea. And they’d be absolutely right. The content, the interconnected systems, the networking, the server…

Post Once, Syndicate Everywhere
As a long-time fan of the POSSE (Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) model, I've always believed in maintaining control over my content. However, I've never been good at the second part: making sure my content reaches as many people as possible. Over the last few weeks I've done a major rebuild of my personal website, and I used it as an opportunity to try and tackle this problem. Now,…
Back to Basics
It's been a long time since I've had my own blog. Too long, in fact. In a world ruled by social media, it's easy to let go of owning your own little corner of the Internet. I'll start with a quick introduction: I'm Ivo. I'm a software engineer at heart, with a passion for building great products. I'm also known by some as having a particular weakness for guitars. I enjoy a good technical…
