You've found my site. I write essays to explore technology, music, and what it means to live a good life. According to my resume, I am a product designer and owner.
Don't know where to start? Visit a /random page. Here's what I am doing now.
About Geffrey van der Bos
Driven by quiet rebellion and stubborn curiosity, I wander into systems and ask, “what if?” I design software to help people navigate financial stress and I’m obsessed with music. Husband to Illustrator Julia and guardian of Loki the Shiba Inu.
Several people have asked whether Mimir will ever get released to the public.
A few thoughts I have about this prospect, if ever!
⁃ It’s a very opinionated piece of software. I will not build in features that I won’t use.
⁃ It’ll be a high price up front, no-subscription type of deal. One payment per platform. ≈€20-€50 per license.
⁃ Pay for upgrading major versions. Small incremental updates free.
⁃ It would have a free, build-in sync service. The current solution? UX wise I am against. That also means it’ll never have attachments and image hosting.
⁃ The safe-keeping of your notes would be downloading a zip of your database in plain text. Could even be a monthly email with an expiring link.
⁃ I’d probably have some AI do the support and bug tracking.
Essentially Culture Code their Things business model.
Still interested?😆
