A personal journal where I, Vincent Ritter, talk about things I’m working on, the up and downs of freelancing and finding more independence.
Life changes! Not. Ah yes, bliss. I basically ramble about my project called tinylytics. And at the same time unable to talk or make proper sentences. That's it... nothing more. You should subscribe. Oh wait, and shoutouts... but really, I just mention it. Wait, is this episode a shoutout?

Short and sweet, it's back to school for the kid. So what now? I've been up to a lot, but I won't cover it in this one. Trying out new things and starting a new work and life balance. Will it stick? Recorded September 5th, 2023
Gluon gets a new homepage, in preparation of some changes coming your way. Oh and it also got a dedicated update blog! Next up I introduced data export for shoutouts.lol and looking at changing payment provider. Looking forward to WWDC (The Apple developer conference).

Finishing up the release for the new iOS app for Micro.blog. Working on Micropub and XML-RPC, and trying to get through it. Talking about shoutouts.lol and the theme section, as I'm not really happy with it. Any ideas on what I should do? I certainly have some ideas. Adding support for more image formats. Then I move from Bunny DNS back to Cloudflare for shoutouts. And it's Micro.camp time this weekend! Check the link for details. Recorded Monday, 15th of May 2023.

I talk about Micro.blog and getting it ready for the 3.0 and what remains. Thoughts on digital "social" media and my decision to close Mastodon and not going down the route of hosting it. Writing for my self for "therapy". Exploring the idea of having a central place for everything, like update blogs, newsletters and more. Then randomly I talk about moving back to Overcast for my podcast needs, and supporting some new podcasts I've been enjoying over the years. That pretty much sums it up. What should I do about Sublime Ads? I don't know... Links Micro.blogshoutouts.lolButtondown EmailSublime AdsSublime Ads blog post about closing registration
Sorry, no meaningful show notes this episode as I wanted to get this out for your listening pleasure. I touch on Micro.blog, the web and the app we're building. Then I touch on Gluon, what I've been changing (like push notifications) and why – teasing some new features. And of course I forget to talk about the other features I added to Gluon, like pinned profiles 🙃 Oh and I touch on plans on monetising Gluon somehow… somewhere… Next on the list a quick update on Sublime Ads and how I spun it off to create shoutouts.lol – and I tease a few ideas I have, even though I think it's one of those well rounded 99% done projects, meaning I don't want to change too much.

This week I talk about new things I worked on for Sublime Ads the past few weeks: Clients and Client portals for the PRO plan. As I worked on it, I came to realise that there could be a much easier way to get started, so I've been working on something on the side. Sunday was my day for Micro.blog and continued work on the app… including allowing to zoom the web view depending on your dynamic font size in iOS. Overall just a quick update and more on it later.

We've been busy working on the Micro.blog iOS app for a few weeks, bringing a new update (version 3) to TestFlight, to you your favourite fruit company.

Sublime Feed now has a login and registration page and stuff that goes around it. Although I wanted to make this a one week challenge I decided to take it slow and get it right.

After weeks of behind the scenes tweaks to Sublime Ads, I finally announce what I've been working on. Image resizing. And no... image resizing wasn't the reason for all the changes... in fact it was figuring out pricing changes to keep it sustainable. Changes to Micro.blog for much better responsive layouts. All in all I am super happy and it was well received. Manton is great to work with! I tease some other changes I'd like to do.

Client work you say? Yeah, that didn't happen. I did jump from one task to another to keep my interesting going for a change of scenery. It's good to allow yourself to do that. I tease a small code challenge, but I put it off for now, and it'll probably come a little later after I finished my client work. A few tweaks to Gluon in this episode... mainly about the timeline and fixing a few bugs. Oh and adding Focus mode (mental health mode). Then I tackle something I wanted to do for a while, which was adding a rudimentary timeline marker sync on Micro.blog. Nothing too complicated, but now it marks the last item you scrolled to on the main timeline - which means apps can make use of this! Deployed last week, before I could release this episode.

Micro Camp was over the weekend and I am happy the way it went in general. A lot of good things to take away with and improve on for Micro.blog. Also announced the official app for Micro.blog.

We drove to the Masurian Lake District in Poland for a short holiday, which was really amazing... except the place we stayed at. At least our daughter had a great time! On the drive I had much time to reflect on what I want to do next and how I approach things. Oh and phones just rub me the wrong way. Side track a little on playing games, or how I don't. I hint at Gluon's future... and perhaps another side project to do with Micro.blog (a simple app for replying). Should I uninstall it? Discord... hmmm, no thanks. So I'll be closing it down for Gluon, email is the way! I talk about my other in progress app that I never work on... Status for updown.io. And then something AMAZING happened, but I won't talk about it yet. A tiny update on Sublime Ads and what I want to add to ads. Switching the Status page to updown.io. OH and a super massive sorry for cutting the ending a little. I was disturbed, things were said... I was sad... feelings were hurt (for me). WHAT CAN YOU DO? Recorded July 9th, 2021.

This is episode 30, which means... nothing really. However, I did get myself a dedicated microphone. So this is the first test for that. Don't mind the fan noise... it's keeping me cool! Then I ramble on about some client work that didn't go so well, but we all moved on and made things better. Which brings me to a segment on how I manage my time, or don't actually. Yes, I'm weird... but it works for me. Perhaps it'll work for you. And no... no "watch buzz" was heard! Recorded using the Blue Yeti X, without reading the manual, using GarageBand. Exported to WAV and edited in Fission. Recorded June 21st, 2021. Links Blue Yeti XThat article about timeFissionSupport me!

Getting an update ready for Gluon... oh and I started a Discord server just for giggles. Thinking of a new podcast just specific to Gluon releases... because that is all I seem to do here on this one... blah blah blah. Talking about Gluon. It's become apparent that a lot of people seem to use the app, more than I have initially thought. Which is nice of course. A side project has landed on my desk. Hooray. Building it in Ruby on Rails. It's motivating me to start my other personal side project to take on HEY World. And nope, not talking about Basecamp. And then we're back talking about... YESSSSSS... Gluon! My internal struggle with adopting SwiftUI or not continues, especially with everything going on in the Apple world these days. And nope, interstellar travel does not exist. Client work is important, but more important is family life... which sometimes I just mess up. I touch on this a little and give myself a financial check where I'm at if everything just went south.
