what's the app :)?

Hey Twitter. Been a while. Thanks to everyone who's reached out to check in, I haven't died, promise Just wanted to share where I've been the last 5 months. It started in November. Some personal stuff came up that meant I couldn't share what I was working on anymore and honestly sharing was the whole reason I enjoyed Twitter. The building in public, the conversations, meeting people. Without that, it kind of took the fun out of it for me. Then January came around, and the world kind of lost its mind. I was doomscrolling 5+ hours a day, cranky and angry, short with the people around me. And what really got me was that even when I wasn't on the app, I was still scrolling, just in my head. My wife mentioned Id been off lately, "what are you even doing?", and that's when it hit me: this is a vicious circle. I needed to stop. So I quit cold turkey. Decided it was basically an addiction, and it wasn't giving me anything back. 5 months in honestly it's been one of the best things I've done for myself in years. Not spending 5 hours a day on the app feels amazing. In the mornings especially, Twitter used to dictate what I'd think about all day. Whatever was trending, that's where my head went. I didn't even realize it was happening. Without it, you remember how much is actually going on in real life. You don't have to be scrolling. You can just be there, with your wife, your dog, your friends. Read a book. Read an actual news site. Sit with your own thoughts. That last part has been the biggest one. When your mind has space again, you start *thinking*. About your life. About decisions you've been putting off. I've been head-down running the company for years, always managing, always growing, and suddenly I had room to ask: am I doing what I want to be doing? That alone made the whole thing worth it. Some things that have changed: - Made some dramatic work changes - Working on side projects again - Enjoying coding for fun - Less stressed, way less reactive - My relationships with everyone are better - Been working out, eating healthier, and lost 7kg - Got married - Just happier I've opened the app a few times since. Scrolled for a bit. And honestly, it just doesn't bring me joy anymore. But I do miss things. I miss sharing what I'm building. I miss the people, the conversations, the small connections that come from posting and replying. That's the part I haven't found anywhere else. I'll come back one day, in some form. Probably something custom, a way to share what I'm working on and interact with people without seeing the feed. For now I'm just enjoying being off the grid. If you want to chat, send me an email or a message, Id love that. Thanks for checking in 🙏
