Your balance tells you what you have. It doesn’t tell you how to pace what’s left.

If remembering the past helps us not repeat it, we might as well enjoy remembering it. I’ve been playing this game almost daily for about a year.

With commentary on AI, we can’t have just those unreservedly enthusiastic, on the one hand, and those skeptic to the point of rejecting entirely (’doomers’ to the enthusiasts). We need those who fall in between: enthusiastic but skeptic, the reserved adopters.

Look what just dropped! Krono 2.0. Lots of fun stuff inside it. App Store 👉 apps.apple.com/app/apple-stor…

We've been making software for about sixty years. We still aren't clear what it entails. And now we're expecting LLMs to write it for us.

It's true that AI can't produce art. Typewriters or pianos also can't. But you can provide AI with instructions. That's not true of typewriters or pianos. (Self-playing pianos don't really follow instructions.)

How Lång guides your spending

A monthly budget breaks the first week that isn't average.

The hardest part of managing money isn’t making a plan. It’s making it last.

The 2025 prize – almost there Trump. Keep up the good work!

Added a type of content to my website that’s an item that floats to the top when it’s updated. First use, keeping track of the Maigret novels I’ve read. tsgn.eu

With immersion brews – Aeropress, Clever – you can affect the taste in so many ways: grind size, ratio of coffee to water, stirring, time, temperature. With AeroPress there’s also pressure. #Coffee

Launching is not a single moment in time. It starts when the first outsider tries your app. Or rather, when someone first learns about it, wants to try it, tries it, and wants to continue using it. And it continues until that happens all by itself, again and again. #buildinpublic

It’s pronounced ’long’. And that’s also what it means, in Swedish.

That’s the gap @spendwithlang is built for – guiding the everyday part as it actually happens.

Traditional budgets put them both in monthly boxes. But everyday spending doesn’t work like that. It’s irregular. You can’t plan it a month ahead. Some days nothing, other days everything at once. Fixed costs set boundaries. Everyday spending needs pacing, not monthly limits.

I spent years trying to make categories work. Groceries. Entertainment. Transport. Eating out. Clothes. I tried organising them different ways, convinced I just hadn’t found the right approach. But something always felt off.

If you overspend one day, your safe spend amount gently adjusts. Lång anticipates this will happen and plans for it.

You know the feeling when you’ve spent less lately and can afford something extra. Lång calls that splurge power – extra spending capacity you’ve built up.
