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.
Sent out an email to all the people on the Mimir interest list.
Immediately got told it went in their spam folders.
Could’ve guessed.
So here is in public!
Hello (everyone!),
Development is steady and I am nearing some tangible product I can start alpha testing. I wouldn't even want to call it a beta.
I made a Signal group where I'd love to share my thoughts with the genuinely interested. And, also talk about the alpha/beta builds once they hit. Think of it as a mini-Discord.
See you there?

Ps. To clear things up, before you're disappointed:
• Mimir is not open-source.
• Your notes live in a local database.
• You can't host your own sync service.
• The apps are free forever.
• MacOS and iOS only, as of now.
• Cloud Sync is the only way to sync between devices.
• Cloud Sync is a one time payment deal.
• No Markdown files mirror, only export.
• There's no CLI access, MCP, or anything.
Of course, nothing is set in stone. But this is the vision.
