When you send a support e-mail and the recipient decides to buy your product after the reply 🥰

Running a business is weird - sometimes you work for 10 hours and you have 4 hours billable, sometimes 12 and 10. Rarely the full day, because something always comes up. Luckily moving more towards fixed pricing, margins and recurring (product) revenue to even out things.

Last few moments to get the Obra shadcn/ui kit for the lowest price. Use code LAUNCHAPRIL shadcn.obra.studio/products/obr...

Claude is down and I can't even go to X to complain!

Happy new year everyone! For things regarding Obra Studio, I will be focusing a lot more on communicating via our own newsletter in 2026 instead of depending on algorithmically driven social media channels - if you are interested, you can sign up here: buttondown.com/obra

Yesterday I saw Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro on Netflix - what a great movie. ★★★★

(in Dutch) I wrote a blog post about 1 year of Obra on my personal blog johanronsse.be/2025/11/29/z...

We’re doing great work for a new German client, using our shadcn/ui system. The work inspires improving the kit, too, which will be useful for any other project using it.

You can say what you want about Wordpress (and I will likely agree) but Gutenberg is a better editor than the CKEditor in Craft CMS. Hated it at first and grown to love it.

Dispatch (the PC game) is pretty entertaining, finished the already released 4 episodes. Better than watching a series at night

Continuing some deep thinking on Obra Studio's positioning and making some early updated website mockups. Where do we change copy, how do we organize the sections? Always a challenge to do this for yourself.

Trying something new - I have a new Figma specific blog over at obra-figma.ghost.io/welcome-to-o...

Doing some research on Django and Wagtail. First impressions are rather good.
