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

Meanwhile in the real world, I think I’m going to downgrade from my partly broken iPhone 17 back to my partly broken iPhone mini. It’s not any slower and I’m sick of carrying big phones.

Few things in life are as depressing as working hard on something and having it fail. I get why people find the idea of generating results so easy that you don't care if they fail is so popular. But nothing good was ever created from fear.

new trek isn't dumber and less dialog oriented than 90s star trek because gen z have no attention spans and can't follow plots without colorful laser explosions – it's that way because the show's creators look down on their audience

Responding to an offer to "scale my personal brand": > Social media isn't how I reach people these days (that'd be blogging, newsletters, and community stuff). I also don't engage enough on social media because i find it an emotional and productivity drain on my day

I know I’ve been posting a lot but I’m thinking of reviving The Organic Software Directory as a webring. ("Organic Software" was coined by @pketh.org in this fantastic post, which you should read: pketh.org/organic-soft... )

pketh.org

In Search of Organic Software

So over the last couple weeks, I’ve been talking to VCs and founders who have and haven’t taken VC to learn whether it makes sense for Kinopio. I don’t think it does.

I'm tired of receiving security bug bounty emails that are 99% generated by LLMs, so I'm formalizing the Kinopio bug bounty program and setting the value of rewards low to reflect the low effort behind them. Long gone is the era when reporting was high value, high effort, and prestige for the finder

my little feedback is that the balance adjustments require you to read and understand them more than I think they should. But you in the develop mode, those same adjustments have more intuitive sliders. I wonder if you could use those same color hints on the balance buttons to also imply function

If you want good taste you have to eat? Endless consumption is cheap, easy, and doesnt lead to learning or creating anything unique. Instead, get your hands uncomfortably messy. If you want good taste you have to cook.

I'm on website review 85 of 128 and so far I'm blown away with how many excellent and really high ambition 5/5 projects were submitted to the Tiny Awards. I'm not sure if they'll only publish the finalists but basically 99% of what I'm seeing is worth a visit.

Pirijan @pketh.org · 14/07/2026

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

We used to see that spackled concrete texture from the Reykjavik doors a lot in Canada, especially on schools and government buildings. But sadly it seems like nothing new has used the technique for ~20 years

I wonder if the physical noise blocking of normal headphones increases my call anxiety, simulating being trapped in a room with a rando. Anyways, if you also dread phone calls, this might help! (2/2) ☎️

I have a weird tech product revelation: I bought bone conducting headphones (Shockz™) for swimming and running (also because my ear wax situation was insane). One unexpected side effect from them is that they've made doing phone calls (eg to my bank) way less painful .. (1/2)

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?

Add Due Dates to Cards with @ [New] Type @ to add due dates to cards. Reminders will be sent on the day of. Bring it all together by combining checkboxes, tags, @-user mentions, and due dates, to do full project management.

Pirijan @pketh.org · 26/06/2026

Progress update: I'd say that @date mentions is now 95% code complete, there's just work related to the email notification template and some UI edge cases in the date picker. The QA and code review is going to take awhile for this tho, it's a huge change with like ~4000 lines to review 😭

A couple years ago I did a poll asking whether high-quality human customer support was an important part of the decision to buy a product. The conclusion back then is that it mostly mattered for businesses - but the amount I now personally value human support has skyrocketed in a world of ai chat
