The best thing that happened this week Better late than never, I finally got around to writing the notes for last week. On Friday night I had a look at the App Store Connect dashboard and noticed CalAction suddenly had a lot of downloads. Turns out some German company pushed the app to their employees which I think...

The best thing that happened this week Since I made CalAction free to use the number of daily downloads has tripled which just goes to show that 1. there's demand for an app like this and 2. that people actively despise the in-app purchase label. I'll be honest and say that I was not expecting this increase in...

The best thing that happened this week It's been a while since I wrote these. I went away for vacation, celebrated my birthday and then I had to get back to work. In the meantime though, and that's by far the best thing that's happened lately, I've been digging into running again. I've been battling this injury and...

Since launching CalAction, I always struggled with the idea of the in-app purchase. I'm a firm believer in the idea that software should be free to use, and that people should be able to use all of it without any barriers. I also believe that people should get the opportunity to support the development of software...

For the remainder of 2026 I still have three races to go. I'm currently preparing by training hard but focusing on keeping my training load balanced to avoid any more injuries. I'm mainly doing one or two easy runs on the shorter side, one hard session (either a Norwegian 4x4 or hill repeats) and one long run each...

The best thing that happened this week This week has been all about wrapping up the last bits of work before I head out for a one-week holiday. It's always very hectic to get everything done, because there's no pushing things to next week. But I'm 99% of the way there now and it's nice knowing I left things nice and...

I joined the Fediverse, or more specifically Mastodon, I think some time in 2021. I was drawn in because of the promise of a decentralized social network, a social network not controlled by a single company, but rather governed from the bottom up. Especially around the time Twitter went the way it did, there was a...

Due to the fact that toot.community is ceasing operations I moved my Mastodon account to Fosstodon. Something went wrong during the move causing most of my followers to not carry over to Fosstodon. I tried a bunch of things to make it work, but to no avail. Instead of trying to fight it, I'm just putting this...

The Garmin Cirqa has been out for 3 days now, so of course I'm qualified to write a not very comprehensive review. I want to go over why I bought the thing in the first place, the fit and finish, battery life, the software situation and whatever else I'll think of while writing this piece. Over the past few weeks my...

The best thing that happened this week This week I released Burst version 1.3.0 which includes 19 achievements to chase after, plus translations to Dutch, French and German. I also added a new power-up called Cross. I hope people enjoy the update! I'm getting a few reviews in on the App Store already, and they're...

The best thing that happened this week I haven't had the best week since I fell sick with the flu which prevented me from getting any kind of quality sleep in for the past six days in a row now. It's been a struggle to get anything done at all. What we did do though is we finally went to a place to look at new doors...

A little over two weeks ago I released Burst and since then I added in a ton of bug fixes, and a completely new Zen mode for people who want to play without sweating the leader boards. Zen mode was born from the realisation that I was wrong about game development. I thought making a game was all about what it looked...
