I'm not the only designer that every so often feels the urge to design a dense data dashboard like edex-ui, am I?

how about a game where you play as the dude who has to go paint interactable things yellow before the adventurer gets there

imagine if software had an expiration date. bit rot just eating away at it until it finally glitches out and crashes. high-quality software with redundancy in its code comes in big drives. low-quality stuff you can just nab at the hardware store and use for a few days

i think i'm ready to finally share full vision behind @usepoiapp. what's poi about? well, it is a space for friends, family, and communities you care about. this space is designed in a way that people can feel safe and be open to create memories together. poi is not just another group chat. messaging is a solution that allows people to create, archive, and store conversations, pictures, videos, voice notes, and spatial experiences in a most convenient way so far. instead of backing up or organizing pictures you made somewhere and share them after in another app – poi is just one place to make it happen. why? within the next 20 years, the average me is going to own more than 2,500,000 personal artifacts that I think is impossible to access nor organize properly. the existing storage system should be rethought. no more timelines, tree-structured data access. there should be a different approach, and I bet on map experience. in multiple ways: first, it is nonlinear storage and has a sentimental attachment, which makes a huge difference in storing data. also, taking zooming UX you can actually bring it into access to the data from super highlight overview for the past years you can zoom in to a particular date. just literally zooming. and no, i'm not talking about zooming in/out in Apple Photos, i'm talking about zooming through the stories and narrative. and that is where AI can bring the value. transcribing, contextualizing, connecting things together to create a graph from your artifacts for fast and easy access in one place. think about features like: contextual reminders, automatic summaries, content recommendations, sentiment analysis, personalized insights, knowledge expansion, customized search, language assistance, smart attachments, time capsule, collaborative planning, trend analysis, and much much more. i’m not sure that the existing concept will survive over time, but what I’m quite sure is that the problem will. and I want to try to bring a solution to this problem, to step into this market of reinventing how we store our memories and how we access them. and if you are interested in building this together, please reach out via DMs, or comment under this tweet. come build @usepoiapp together.

news: @untitledmapapp is dead, long live uma we had a good run, but due to scarce ressources and a cofounder conflict, we will go our separate ways. i’m open sourcing the codebase i was working on for a year. don’t be sad because it’s over, be glad it happened!

on @untitledmapapp I built a feature that relies on a SaaS service, because we'd rather focus on building new features than going too deep in the tech stack too early. however we're close to having used our free tier and just going 30% above it would set us back hundreds of $

that SaaS provider failed the "build vs buy" equation for us: too expensive too early on means we built instead, and by the time we have cash to buy we'll already have jumped out a long time ago. maybe we're not the target customer i guess!

software engineering has this curse where you start from a simple problem and 6 months later you find yourself at 3 am playing with docker containers and encoded polyline geo traces and you’re like how the fuck did i get there
