The final part of my post-Automattic series, where I look back at my final months there.
Missed last week's update since I've been busy polishing my projects. Added PostHog analytics and dark mode to Lijsje, made light-up tiaras for the neighborhood parade, and caught an amazing Vampire Weekend show. Taking it slow for the holidays!
Released Endgame 1.1 with home screen widgets, saw Lijsje growing to 60+ lists daily, took a break to explore Antwerp's sewers, and remembered what sabbaticals are about.
Embracing chaos. This week: building a product finder for Lijsje, battling Apple's bureaucracy, and exploring AI code editors.
Life after severance: wrestling with Apple support, growing my apps, and letting AI help build new ones - plus a vinyl shelf rescue.
A lighter update during Autumn break as I juggle family time, a cold, and some progress on Lijsje and Endgame—though Apple's developer account system is testing my patience.
Three weeks into my post-Automattic journey, life has settled into an engaging rhythm of family time and personal projects. Between visiting illusion museums with the kids and putting the finishing touches on my app Endgame I'm finding a new balance
This week saw progress on two side projects - the Endgame iOS app, and Lijsje built with Laravel - alongside personal activities like enjoying new music, family time, and anticipating family game night.
Week 1 of me not having a job has almost finished, and it was great 🎇
