I was so so proud of the animations/transitions/easing, though. And that autocomplete!

The same thing happened to my very first little 'project' that got traction. In 2019. I practically panicked and shut it down. Even lost both the domain and even my geffrey.io blog. Just deleted it. No backups. Gone from the disk.

Weird reaction. Self-sabotage? Fear of failure? Imposter syndrome? 🤷‍♂️

Anyway. Look how horrible it was programmed. 😂

Landing page is live.

Intriguing feeling I just observed. Suddenly felt an overwhelm and self-doubt. My first thought was: ”ah I need shut down Mimir. It's not gonna be a thing anyway. Too much headache.“

But, I caught myself! Project alive and well. No worries.

The water is nice and calming.

Still editing the copy, but pre-launch website is getting there.

Just ripping off Linear.app. Like we all are.

"Starting up is not an event. No splash screen, no vault to load, no plugins initialising while you stand there with a thought you wanted to write down."

Too obvious?

Hey @codepen, what in the name of an embed is this?

Well well well.

(Fans of Norse mythology will get it.)

Some performance upgrades for really, really long pages. Here are 5000 blocks, indented and all.

iPhone 15 handles it without hickups. 👌🏻

'flow state' ≠ meditation

Stress testing Mimir on my 2018 iPad.

When do you think we'll have experience performance issues?

“Taste”

Ps. i bet this is rage bait.

Five submissions in on Mimir’s outliner interest list. Price indications are actually all where I expected them to be.

50% discount to those who fill in the form before it ever releases! 😬

I can quit any time, honestly.

One of the strangest things I experienced in all jobs I had is the abstraction from obvious solution to watered down marketing.

"We need to teach the parents about get-rich quick schemes!"

"Let's offer a PDF with a checklist for whether my child should follow this influencer!"

Yes. But. No. But. Yes?

Love how–although entirely devoid of personality and creativity–Claude Code websites their HTML+CSS are very nice and clean.

And the ambiguous dots, where the ops share a device and seq, is just me messing with copying databases manually. Shouldn't happen in production.

Replaced #Mimir 's flaky peer to peer with a cloud relay sync. Local first and optional. Cloud is fully encrypted in transit and at rest. If this is ever going to see production I'd need to think about how to give access to paying clients only. 🙃

It now also works only by passing the 'vault ID' and a passphrase. I want to keep the 8 word passphrase, but the vault ID would need to be linked to my customer management system? 🤔 This is harder than I expected.

I’ve always loved the idea of an outliner, yet I have to find one that doesn’t require a course to figure out. Or isn't just plain ugly.
In 2016, I started a career in UI/UX. This year, I’ve started my passion project: Mimir. An outliner and expression of everything I’ve learned since then.

Mimir is deliberately limited, yet not stunted. Users can make and add oEmbed widgets per block. They can use the URI for power functions. The rest of the features should be easily understood.

There’s ✅:
A journal view and loose pages
Wikilinking and showing backlinks
Block-level referencing
Simple formatting of text
TODO/DONE task management
Simple 'templates'
URI-support (for Apple Shortcuts or other automation)
oEmbed anything (sandboxed)
Cloud sync
Export to Plaintext

There’s NOT ⛔️
Multiple ‘vaults’
Markdown files
iCloud sync
Open-source
Web-access
Document-mode
Image support (not natively)

I am making this application for myself. Yet, several people have shown interest. And that feels like an opportunity. The plan is to release it with one-time payment for each major release, across platforms. It would include free, encrypted, hosted in the EU, cloud sync. Starting with macOS and iOS, and with enough interest, Android and Windows after.
