Sharing my journey of being an indie developer in the Apple ecosystem. Currently working on Timelines, a time tracking app with powerful visualizations. I wish to blog more often, but don't we all?
I can't quite believe that it's the end of the year already! To keep my yearly tradition, I am sitting down to reflect on how 2025 went for me, and what are the things that I am planning to work on and improve next year. Some things went great this
I can't believe that it's the end of the year already! Once again I am finding myself sitting down on the 31st of December, unsure which direction to take with this blog post. But in the spirit of my yearly tradition of doing these yearly reviews, here we go. It's
Exactly 15 years ago on November 9th, 2009, I got my first MacBook and started learning how to build apps. I was fascinated with the idea that you can build something that other people will find useful and enjoy using. I also heard about those "indie developers" on Twitter who
It's that time of year again. I can't believe that it's the end of the year already - it just flies by, doesn't it? To keep my yearly tradition I wanted to once again take a look back at how the year went for me, what are some of the
I'm delighted, nervous, and excited to say that tomorrow I'll be launching a big 3.0 update of my time tracking app Timelines, which will bring synchronization between devices, a native iPad version, and an independent Apple Watch app. Building the sync was the most difficult technical challenge that I
I wasn't really feeling like writing this post today, but I didn't want to break my multi-year tradition either so here we go. When I look back at this year, I see a mixture of growth, missed opportunities, great moments and some struggles as well. But ultimately I'd say this
Phew, what a year. If somebody told me at the beginning of 2020 that it will turn out like this, I'd have thought he is crazy. But here we are. Before I proceed to talk about myself, I want to say that I truly feel sorry for and sympathize with
It feels unreal for me to say this, but later today I'll be releasing a major update of my app: Timelines 2.0. I have been working towards this day for a year and a half, and now it's finally here. I have a proper marketing-oriented blog post ready, but
I'm always both excited and worried about writing these posts, but it wouldn't be a good end of the year for me without getting it done. 2019 was a more 'quiet' year for me. After settling down in Prague in September last year, except for a few trips during the
Exactly 10 years ago, on November 9, 2009, I got my first MacBook Pro and I started building apps. I didn't know nothing about anything, but I absolutely fell in love with it. My programming experience at the time was half a year of C (self-taught), and then about a
Since my posts tend to be overly long and drawn out, I'll do my best to keep this one short, succinct and to the point. While this year had some unique challenges for me, all things considered, it was a great year. And, dare I say it, transformational. Here are
Going back from a very good night out, in a night bus through the well-lit and beautiful Prague, at around 2:30 AM, I got the urge to scribble down a few thoughts that has been going through my mind lately. Somehow the combination of being tired and drunk crystalized
Blogging is like a muscle - if you don't use it regularly, it atrophies. That's exactly how I feel about my (failed) attempts to blog. In the last 8 months since I finished the 14-day blogging challenge , I have only published one article . Let's try to 'break the silence' with
Today marks the 1000th consecutive day of my daily writing practice (some people would call it 'journaling'). I haven't missed a single day (sometimes it was close, though). I'm really excited that I've been able to reach this milestone. In this blog post, I'd like to share with you why
This is the final day of my 14-days blogging challenge . I wanted to take a look back at how it went and share with you some lessons and general observations that I learned from it. 1) I'm glad I was able to actually do it. Putting quality and rules aside
