and, of course, a sort of a manifesto for untitled map app
hope you'll enjoy

it's 2:47pm and you want to have lunch and it's a sunny day and so you want to sit and eat your lunch someplace in the sun —— and you can't possibly remember where at this exact hour is the sun, and where's the shade
you're not the only one!
but look, A SUN/SHADE MAP!!!

how come there is no good app for social planning in 2022
i just want to create events with locations and let friends RSVP
i do this 5+ times a day at work, why is there no mobile-first, non-work focused equivalent to google calendar?

i want to make software that feels like magic.
i want to make software that is useful, to many people; that is valuable, that makes sense. but that's also surprising, pleasant, funny.
