Just like I did with my personal blog, adding a little email newsletter sign up to the Kinopio blog so you don't have to rely on social media to know when there's something new to read

particularly fond of this CTA. Figured I'd lean into the kind of things VC funded companies can't say/do

Tried out @aphera.co on the mac as a lightroom/photomator alternative, I really like it and I'd recommend it if your needs/perspective is like mine:

The Tiny Awards submissions have all been compiled and there's 123 cool unique websites for me to surf and judge. I have a month but I'm gonna power through and try and get them all done today before the new baby tinyawards.net

In the latest Dinamo font newsletter, I noticed how upfront and often they emphasized that the promo comic for their new font was “entirely hand drawn”, drawn by hand”, “not a single AI agent was involved”. How long before we see “hand made” badges on software?

WIP Sidebar → Date Cards will list your cards with dates assigned to them across your spaces, letting you jump to them for more context

One thing led to another, and I spent way too long making the nicest timezone picker UI, which most people will only need once if ever. It supports strumming the world map, searching by all major cities, and auto detection. Way beyond scope, but my inner Carmen Sandiego demanded it.

Pirijan @pketh.org · 22/06/2026

Deep cut question, what's your favorite timezone picker UI? I'm partial to the classic windows one

You can now nominate a Site for Tiny Awards 2026. They asked me to be a judge this year so should be fun tinyawards.net/nomin...

Working on adding due dates to cards next. There's a bit of a debate about whether to do timers (eg 30mins) or dates first. They're similar, but different enough to be different projects. I'm tackling the teams/project-planning use-case first because it seems more urgent.

Pirijan @pketh.org · 16/06/2026

@User Mentions in Cards [New] Based on feedback from the Teams Pilot program, you can now assign cards to space collaborators and group members by @mentioning them. @mentioned users will be notified (in-app or email).

011

Pirijan @pketh.org · 10/06/2026

WIP on user @mentions , I can type '@' to select a collaborator or group member. The card atMention data saving to the server is also wired up now. This system supports multiple @mentions per card.

The Kinopio sticker saga continues: so i checked out a local sticker printer (SleepyG Stickers) this morning and got a good impression. I also took some pictures of their print shop

050

Pirijan @pketh.org · 08/06/2026

Just received 100 sticker-sheets from the printer (Death By Stickers), and close up the line edges are super soft. Hard to photograph but Especially bleed is noticeable in the outlines of the white logo and 'kinopio' and 'club' text.

Pirijan @pketh.org · 04/06/2026

I used this same key icon to represent secrets (env and api keys) in both Glitch and Kinopio. But I originally drew it as the logo of a personal diary web app that I designed, but didn't have the dev skills to build at the time. Unearthed these mockups in a @sketch file created in 2014.

as part of a new WIP feature I'm refactoring boxes in lists, adding the ability to check off completed task [] boxes

vs the existing one (which i might still prefer after looking at both for a while)

Pirijan @pketh.org · 03/06/2026

what do you think of this alternate design for animated lines? it's a lot simpler/conventional and i think is more readable than the current animation of a circle travelling along the path

My favorite ad from vol.1 is this hand drawn one by Daylight Computer, no idea if they'll be sponsoring vol.2 as well tho. 3/3

Pirijan @pketh.org · 29/05/2026

My full page ad for Kinopio in the internet phonebook vol.2 is literally a page-sized screenshot. (It'll be printed in greyscale)

Pirijan @pketh.org · 29/05/2026

Based on the sticker sheet, mocked up this quick business card design. not sure if i'll use/print it though. Would be cool if it was possible to make the back of the card a sticker too

000

Pirijan @pketh.org · 26/05/2026

Hot take: I don't hate the new electric Ferrari, but it feels like it's not quite finished. Just sprinkle a bit more new Testarossa-style nip tucks and it would work. The price (like all modern Ferraris) is stupid ofc.

Pirijan @pketh.org · 26/05/2026

To print the Kinopio stickers, I had to split it into 2 layers: one with the stickers to kiss cut out and one with the background for the sheet. The background layer reminds me of "Who's That Pokémon" (or a crime scene photo)

Pirijan @pketh.org · 25/05/2026

This is the final sticker design I ended up sending for trial printing, if it goes well I can start sharing them IRL

WIP sticker progress 05: sizing it for a 4x6" sheet, still have to add all the safety margins and maybe a cool background. What do you think so far?

Pirijan @pketh.org · 14/05/2026

Here's a fun sociological experiment. As a reader, on Affinity's marketing page do you prefer the page with Enable Motion Enabled (default) or Disabled? I suspect most designers add scroll-jacking and scroll-fx mostly to impress other designers. (makes sense here bc designers are their market)

Pirijan @pketh.org · 12/05/2026

WIP stickers 04, here's where i am right now. Slowly getting closer. but – as is unfortunately part of the process – the color, background, and layout Really suck rn. Could use more ideas for stickers. Ideally I'd like to pack the page up with them.

would you like the option to keep a small minimap permanently visible while working?

WIP experiment: while dragging cards, they'll snap to align the y or x sides of nearby cards. not sure yet if it's helpful, or if it gets in the way. What do you think? (☎️ Beta available in the discord)

Pirijan @pketh.org · 09/04/2026

WIP 20~ another take on dynamic connection line anchors. Added a little snapping animation when the line endpoints change, along with animation delays to reduce the jittery feel that lines jumping caused in the previous versions. This version only snaps to corners of cards.

Pirijan @pketh.org · 07/04/2026

Initial sticker ideas: 2 diff colorways with slightly diff blob boys, what do you think? These would be medium laptop sized I think so you could read the text. When you see either of these on someone's computer I'd like them to express the sentiment "CAUTION: This Person is Cool"

Thanks to everyone who helped me make today's Kinopio screen recording. It turned out great! Unlike all the other VC-funded competitors, I wanted to show off collaboration with real people because I hate marketing sites that use fake 'perfect' videos made in After Effects.

All set to capture a video of collaboration in action in Kinopio later today
