We’re going to start rolling out TestFlight invitations for Gather near the end of this month. Thank you so much to everyone here that signed up so far for early access!

Haven't used social media for a couple weeks during the holidays. Brain literally feels different.

Hello again Posts people of Toronto! @johnson, @chow and I are hosting a meetup on November 22, 2023 at 7pm for anyone that can join! RSVP here: discord.gg/rHZ4kVRd

the last time I went to china, I went with my parents. during the trip, they bought me a custom-made seal stone of my chinese name for my birthday. one of the my favourite things. going to turn this into some kind of logo mark.

About a year ago, my co-founder and I were kicked out of our old studio space. Our studio's building was taken over by the city to be demolished for a new subway line. It was a unique and amazing building filled with crazy talented artists and creatives.

Getting ready to release the first iteration of the Gather Library this week to our TestFlight users. So many little things left to do and fix.

working on creating different views for you to see your thoughts, notes, tasks and media.

swiping through the pages of your Gather Notebook on ios. your pages can have notes, tasks, thoughts and media from your Library and you can re-order pages in whatever order makes the most sense for your day to day.

Sometimes, all we really wanted was a simple typewriter. This is Gather for Mac, jumping to Today and toggling between Journal’s quick entry and focus mode for writing your thoughts.

We now have a working Share Extension for iPhone and iPad. You can easily add items to your Library and quickly tag them on the spot.

WIP: Gather’s Journal for writing and capturing your thoughts. A lot of software products are becoming lifestyle products. Productivity apps are digital stationary.

We’re looking for people to test out the Gather Journal in Testflight (not the Library or Notebook just yet). If you’re looking for a simple app for capturing your thoughts, text-only, organized by day, let me know! The app works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The Gather Journal is designed both for daily long-form writing, and also for those times when you have a thought and need  to quickly put it somewhere. This is adding a new thought, searching and deleting with long-press.

I’ve been seeing the role “design engineer” more and more these days. I’m not familiar with it. Could someone explain it to me? I felt a little confused when I googled it.

working on some little details for the Gather Journal. playing with masking and phasic animations. update coming this week. we are looking to accelerate TestFlight invites as soon as we can.

Gather - work in progress. what if your notes app felt more like a physical notebook? you can have pages with your notes, your tasks, your thoughts, your inspiration and organize them in a way that is meaningful to you. each page is a little canvas.

Work in progress — new website for studio

weekend project - made a new leather wallet. not super happy with it yet, but it’ll do the job for now. will prolly make another attempt when i get a chance. made this from 5 dollars of scrap leather (cutoffs from larger pieces). i have about 3 of my 5 dollars of leather left.

ICYMI: If you’re in Toronto, close to 20 of us fellow Posts people are meeting up next week on Wednesday November 22nd, 7pm at Belfast Love. We have a couple spots left, so if you can make it, please rsvp! We’d love to meet you! https://discord.com/invite/NFNFMTzg

Thank you to all the awesome, talented people of Posts who came out to our 1st meetup in Toronto! Sounds like many of us were eager to all meet again. We will for sure be having another event. Maybe something like a homey/potluck/show-and-tell. Stay tuned!

Hey Posts people of Toronto! 👋 @johnson, @chow and I want to do a meetup. Reply if you’re interested in joining us!

Gather now works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

going to be in one of my favourite places next week

If you’re coming out to our Toronto Posts Meetup tonight, look for the bat signal! Looking forward to meeting you all :)

Just realized my website was down for like a month. Whoopsie!

Is it just me or are the Highlights in a crazy order?

View from the studio this morning. One of those grey Toronto days.

Been in a rut the last couple weeks. One moment, I'll be excited with the direction of my work, the next I want to throw it in the trash, light it on fire and start all over again. gahhh adklfhas kldfhajksdlfh Going for a walk.

Gather Share Extension for iOS to save links, photos and videos.

we have app intents working now, which means you can ask Siri to add thoughts and notes to Gather. it also means you can easily build your own custom “shortcuts” and workflows, and you can add controls to your lock screen and control center to quickly add thoughts and notes.

We got gestures and animations working on all platforms (including Mac). Our goal is to make navigating between different parts of the app as fluid as possible.

Our cat turned 1 today. Her name is Suvi. Or more commonly, Suvimeister (Master of Summer).

working on the Chrome Extension for Gather to save links and media to your Library

Got the new Macbook Pro in Space Black yesterday. Probably going to return it for a different colour. Depending on the light, it sometimes looks super nice, and other times gives me mega year 2000 drab business laptop vibes.

Does anyone know how to get my cat to not wake me up at 5am?

You are what you eat. And right now, I feel like I'm feeding my brain a bit too much sugar and red meat content and not nearly enough of the colourful, diverse and nourishing intellectual vegetables it needs. So I’m off on a journey to find my brain veggies, wherever they may be.
