I've started rewatching Peaky Blinders. Wow, what an brilliantly written show!

And now you can also use randomised Robin stamps on postcards. What a time to be alive.

Hasn't anyone figured out that you can feed the robin? 😢

🔥 New blog post: "Dark mode toggles: two states are enough"

Dark mode toggles that expose three visible states (system, light, dark) seem like the best option.

Until you think about user goals, that is.

Before rushing to disagree, hear me out.

v4 of my personal website is online. With an overall design language update. Including a cute little robin (bird) as a brand element... with a few easter eggs, too. 😬

I made a little book! 📕 »Die Welt von drinnen« is a little collection of writing from 20 years of blogging. It’s in German, and I still have some left (as long as the Stripe link works): https://christophrauscher.de/dieweltvondrinnen/

2.5 years in the making, and Aphera 1.0 is now live and available to download and trial (no cc required), or purchase (50% off for the next two weeks).

We think it's a wonderful way to work with images in a considered and intentional manner that gets you flow back. We built this with our needs in mind, and we've found others are enjoying it too. Lots more to build and to come!

My name is Robin, and it never occurred to me to use a bird as my personal brand? I'm working on it!

(isn't he cute?)

about yesterdays bike tour. What a landscape (almost) right on our doorstep.

Starting with the round of 16, the matches will feature a special focus on the winning teams. The posters will be colored in the winner's team colors.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the people who used to make cool things on the web are not only getting harder to find, they're also just... making less stuff. Like there's a slow disengagement happening. Why pour your heart into a personal site or indie project when it drowns in AI noise the second it's out? Does anyone else feel like the good parts of the web are quietly fading?

And as always, the most fun part is building a website for it.
A place for all the 104 generative posters. Have fun exploring it :)

Here are a few examples of games that have already been played

I like football, I like poster layouts and I like data visualisation. So I've combined exactly that for the current World Cup.

I wrote an algorithm that generates a unique poster for each of the 104 games. This are the rules.

I've uploaded the first photos from our Japan trip to my photo website 🇯🇵

“The Quiet Witness: Florian Ziegler’s Photos from beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2026” – a little thank you post for the lovely work of @florianziegler https://beyondtellerrand.com/blog/quiet-witness-florian-zieglers-photos-dus2026

On my way to #btconf. Looking forward to two inspiring days full of interesting topics and nice people 😊

I'm traveling to Japan next month. Does anyone have any good recommendations for guides, photo books, or other resources with tips and tricks for Japan? (Not the typical tourist spots)

I've updated the details page for my photo website. It's a bit tidier now and includes additional meta information such as the camera, lens, date, and other photos taken on that day or on the same day in a different year. I like it!
