Thu, 30 June: I read a book last night about the early days of Twitter. It talked about the time when Tweets were just a status - no pictures, no videos, no likes, no comments. A page were you go to get a one-liner of what your friends are up to. Love the simplicity and the imagination-work that your brain has to do, e.g. imagine you r...

Let's go.” Fri 1 June 22 “Now The XX.” “In the middle of a late night programming session.Listening to Games by Torchsong on repeat. Incredible so...
About sleep tracking
Devices like the Apple Watch or the Oura Ring are growing in popularity. Both of them can be used to track your sleep. I have an Apple Watch and tracked my sleep lots of times. I mean, sleep is super important and you gotta make sure to optimise it, right? Sleep data can be helpful, if you do one thing: Check this data only once or twi...
Pausing Presence
About 2 years ago, I started a concert project called Presence. Because I love live concerts but hated the moments where everyone around me would just put their phones up all the time. Still don't like it, actually. But it's time to put it on the shelf. Made a concept, talked to lots of industry people and had a working prototype. But ...
Launching a side project called Timeline
I just published a first version of Timeline - a small software project that I put together over the past weekends. The website is: timeline.house Basic reasoning behind it is: understanding the news can be hard - and getting to see the full picture of a news story is even more difficult these days. So why not let people grab a topic a...
Feature request for music streaming services
As someone who's really into music, streaming is incredible. With now 23 years, I'm not that old (compared to most people) but I do remember a time when there was no Spotify or Apple Music. Still, you had the iTunes Store but paying for each song every time you wanted a new song had this mental boundary. Getting unlimited songs in exch...
Cookie crumbs all over the place
Dear Tim Cook, I got a quick idea to improve the experience on the internet, and wanna share it with you. The first impression when visiting most websites usually sucks. Because before even seeing the site, people have to accept/decline cookies. The usual stuff - How is this still everywhere? What if you guys build a feature that allow...
Blue checkmark for everyone
The blue checkmark. Some people have it, some don’t. The reason for them to exist in the first place, is so that people don’t get confused. Like when there are multiple fake accounts of Angela Merkel being created – so you always know which messages are from the real Angie. Makes sense, totally. Not only politicians have blue checkmark...
List
Things I recently enjoyed watching, reading, using - whatever. Feel free to send me stuff you discovered! My favorite things tend to lean towards topics like technology, books (biographies mostly) and design. But it's totally ok if it's not falling into one of these categories - as long as it's good! Here we go! June 2021 • Watch: The ...

A post about perspective
The chances of becoming a human being are 400 trillion: 1. That said, it’s more than about time to be grateful as fuck for everything we got and to stop complaining. Because we already won the lottery – multiple times. Mum and dad could’ve had a glass of wine less that evening – but they didn’t. Next time, you catch yourself bitching a...
Boring Hamburg
We all know about it, we all hate it. Yet not much has changed when it comes to high traffic volume in Hamburg (or in any big city, right?). When you wanna take the car around 5 o clock to get from a to b quick and efficient, good luck: it’s not going to happen. So how do we solve this stuff? Build another lane? Well, in most areas of ...
Get in App
It’s important that we reopen restaurants soon. It’s also important that people don’t get and spread covid. Here is how we can move forward: 1. Vaccine When you get the vaccine, you’ll get a user login for the Get In app. 2. Account In the account setup process, the user has to upload a selfie. 3. Get in You can now go to a restaurant ...
