A screenshot of a text interface with navbar at top, then an 'alpha' warning banner, then the new infobar, then the page title 'Activity timer'. The new infobar has three horizontal panels: left is player, middle is any active XP boosts, right is for character. The page content: two cards grouped into one element (one is player's current activity, the other is the game character's), then 'recent activities' of both player and character combined in one list. The colour scheme is light green for the player, and light orange for the character.

New infobar (above page title "Activity timer"), very simple for now

Wondering about removing the page title. Then in navbar I'd change 'Game' to 'Timer'

After some late-night coding last night, I finally got Progress working using Docker (hosted on Render). Control that runtime environment, baby!

Visual hierarchy improved, 'timer running' effects added.

I never thought I'd be excited about procurement trends* and cyber security, but apparently everything looks rosy through the lens of Progress!

Occasionally, but I worry about forgetting where I store ideas, so I usually keep ideas & natural language code design in a notes app. That way I can write stuff on the move.
I think the concept is great though: permission not to have the right answer immediately!

Activity Timer interface. There is an activity timer at the top for the player to enter their activity. Below that there is an element displaying the character's current activity. then, below that there's a timeline displaying both player and character activities. The player elements have a light green background and border, and the character elements are a light orange with orange border.

I've made so many changes in the last two weeks!
- I've reordered the elements,
- changed the styling for emphasis to make the timer more important and the list quieter, and
- added colours based on whether it's a player or character element!

Three panel comic. Panel 1: gym setting. One guy sees another guy across the gym with huge muscles. He remarks, โ€œwhoa! That dude is yolked!โ€ Panel 2: a girl working out next to him says, โ€œugh, why do guys even want to get that big?โ€ Panel 3: the extremely jacked guy is walking away with a slight smile. He is imagining himself dapping up a group of huge gorillas who are all happy and smiling, accepting him as one of their own.

Left of a long rock stands a samurai silhouette and somewhere hides a cat.

Relato de fรณrum em que a pessoa diz que:

Accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a call with an important client yesterday. I heard him giggle as I hung up, and I was mortified. Today, I saw he emailed me this:




โ€œSubject: "Love you!"

Hey - Just wanted to say that I didn't mean to laugh at you when you accidentally signed off on our call with a "love you." I just found it funny because I've definitely done that before, and I know it happens. I'm glad you have enough love in your life that that response comes naturally. If anything, you should be proud of that :) 

Have a great weekend! We'll follow up about my call with Chris on Wednesday, as discussed.โ€
