Ok everyone, be careful out there today

It's been so exciting to see this come together

anyway, back to not existing on twitter for a spell =D

Rather than use my Samsung account I was able to back out all the way and sign in with Google - another option I'd rather not take - and the verification code went to my tablet which thankfully was at hand. I feel like we've lost any semblance of control over our own devices

And their customer service options are atrocious. I'm furious.

.@SamsungMobile's new UI update 6.1 forces you to log into your Samsung account to access your phone, which I've never had to do before. And now I can't get past it because they're sending a 'verification pin' to my email that never arrives. So I'm blocked out of my phone.

@nipsey That would have been a fun one to do - I did see one on the metro but dodged them all myself haha

@jayonaboat Can you do a Vlog on France’s tradition of putting a picture of a fish on somebody’s back for April Fool’s Day? I just heard about this tradition today! LOL!

Got some hacking time tonight, and I'm pretty happy with how this new feature is turning out. In the home stretch now, just need @jayonaboat's help finalizing copy/artwork and we can get this baby out the door.

In the latest of our Meet the Low Season Travellers series, @jayonaboat, the creator behind Paris in my Pocket, talks us through his early fascination with the French capital. @SmartieAnt provides this edition's featured photograph, with a January shot of San Diego's Balboa Park.

@The_Nighthawks @MrBeast Almost 😂

@jayonaboat @MrBeast If you had that much money you could almost afford to own a space the size of your current place in Paris.

If I had @MrBeast money, I would spend it on music licensing. Hands down.

@whereisjefe @samselikoff Hot diggity

Had another customer request to gift our guide, so shipped the initial workflow for that tonight, not perfect but should get job done. Also big thanks to @samselikoff for today's pairing, have a good plan now for getting the carousel feature shipped in the next day or two.

So grateful for you! 🥂🥰

@whereisjefe Oooh, that's cool

Made progress on the new article carousel – the scrollable cards have really enhanced the UX. It still needs some polish, and I'm thinking of adding next/previous buttons for more clarity. Overall, pretty pleased with how it's coming together. (035)

A little photographer's packing trick for you

The original guide was a PDF, so when I teamed up with @jayonaboat, job #1 was to duplicate that. Now that we have feature parity with the PDF, it's time to start having fun with the new medium. Here is tonights effort to find a location based on its tag (032)

If nothing else, I'm going to learn and grow a lot through this season of production. You can see the full length version here: youtu.be/_aXT4Y16IhA

My Number One Priority

@whereisjefe I like simple

Night 031: Happy I've shown up every night this month, though some nights are more productive than others. These quick recaps have forced me to reflect nightly, highly recommend! Anyways, added some marketing page functionality tonight to simplify copy editing for @jayonaboat
