through the making of nichedesign.press I've been the: - student - curator - writer - editor - publisher - distributor

come to my show this thursday to see me building a product live with claude code. going to pick an idea on the spot, so make sure to submit an idea and rsvp to see the magic buildyouridea.live

hope I'm allowed to do so

glad to be able to say that Niche design #2 is (almost) fully funded by some amazing sponsors there’s still room so lmk in case you’d like to support

in practicing for my upcoming claude code for product building workshop, I ran a 5hr pilot with my sister-in-law a few days ago going from terminal basics to deploying with vercel. so far she has built: - a bartender assistant - board game nights tracker - a digital cookbook for family recipes

It’s time to be an underthinker

my client projects rapidly become "build this thing" instead of just "design this thing"

I think I discovered Text Wrap by mistake while playing with Affinity in the early days of nichedesign.press However it immediately clicked and became core to the overall design of the zine. I wonder what could be done for the next issue in the web now...

why mac mini? have someone made the switch from a macbook as a primary machine?

Building is an iterative, non-linear, and collaborative process. So why do team tools force planning into flat lists, grids, and linear documents? This mismatch between plans and reality is where a lot of work project anxiety comes from.

am I dev now?

Today's project: building a Google Slides alternative because why not

first project as a parent

I hope building with Claude Code makes you prefer releasing over polishing as much as it does for me

I've never went to university but my little zine is going to join at least 3 design school libraries

Most founders are building their most important work alone. Heads down. Cranking. Coming up for air only when they need feedback. Focus isn't a problem. Isolation is.

nobody is cooked or doomed; earn new skills, keep experimenting and explore stuff embrace the new world

content pollution is just a form of slop no thoughtful discussion will be emerged

playing with some Niche design 3d renderings a bit hard to control the actual dimension but fun

Fashionably late, I launched nichedesign.press last night IRL + gave a short lecture on how to self-publish an independent magazine reflecting my own journey. Thanks to everyone who came—it was a blast.

I’ve been working on this for a while, but let’s make it official: I started a little Tumblr-like microblog about software craft and quality! You can sign up via RSS or a weekly newsletter digest. There’s already almost two months of content, if you just want to check it out. unsung.aresluna.org
