Thanks to everyone who’s trying out @beavernotes.com and submitting feedback. Beta 3 is coming along a bit slower than I hoped for, especially around Beaver Sync, but I’m still moving forward with new features and fixes.

Turns out one of the reasons @beavernotes.com has always been slow to open is Mermaid.js, which is almost half of the bundle size :/

I’m putting in extra effort to improve performance in @beavernotes.com beta 2 before its release. I’ve been adding features and changes quickly, sometimes sacrificing speed. I don't really like shipping bad software, so I'll make you wait a bit more. Trust me, it'll be worth it. #buildinpublic

It’s been 3 years since the first commit was made. In this time, Beaver has grown a lot, and we have an exciting road ahead of us. Thanks to all of you for sticking around through the journey 💖; we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the new version of Beaver.

I’m working on Beaver’s plugins system, but I’m still figuring out the direction I want to take. Some ideas: - Custom editor blocks - Third-party integrations (GitHub, Google Drive, calendars, etc) - Workflow automation and deeper access to your notes I’d love to hear your ideas. #buildinpublic

Working on designing the blog cover for @beavernotes.com’s June issue.
A digital black-and-white outline sketch on a tablet screen, featuring a cute, cartoonish beaver character scuba diving underwater. The beaver is drawn with simple lines, wearing a diving mask, a mouthpiece regulator, and an air tank strapped to its back. The background shows an underwater scene with corals, plants, and a small striped fish.

Had 10 seconds to myself, so of course I redesigned the now playing section on my website. Now if you head to daniele-rolli.com on your computer, you’ll see a spinning cd with lyrics scattered around. On phones, I had to go for a more subtle widget 😭
A screenshot of a dark-themed personal portfolio website for Daniele Rolli, a software developer and OSS maintainer. The homepage features a pixelated headline, a short bio, and a spinning vinyl record widget playing a Lady Gaga song. The bottom section uses a bento-grid layout containing widgets for Rome and local time, colored navigation folders, a photo of a dog named Roy, a blog post preview, a globe graphic, and social media icons

I’ve been working on Orbit to improve its user interface and make it work with more devices. Right now, it’s mainly for Colmi rings, but I’ll tweak it before it hits the App Store. Also trying out opt-in on device Apple Intelligence for health tips and data interpretation.
Screenshot of the Orbit app's "Sleep" screen from June 1, 2026. It shows a sleep score of 67 (labeled "Good"), a recorded sleep duration of 6 hours and 43 minutes (from 12:38 AM to 8:00 AM), and a notification flagging an "Irregular Sleep Schedule."Screenshot of the Orbit app's main "Summary" dashboard. It displays a "COLMI Ring" status as disconnected, followed by brief health data widgets showing low activity (2,215 steps), a sleep duration of 6 hours and 43 minutes, and a heart rate of 83 BPM.
