The weather app I swore I’d never write
There is a short list of apps every developer is contractually obliged to build at least once: a to-do list, a Markdown editor, a podcast player, and — the final boss of clichés — a weather app. I held the line for twenty years. This is the confession of how I finally caved. For most of those t…
The other 90 percent — polishing notes from a streaming-radio app
I have been polishing Wellenreiter — my streaming-radio app for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and CarPlay (and the successor of Volksradio, which some of you might remember — “only a bare minimum of features, but those supersolid” was the plan back in 2015, and it took me a decade to deliver on the second ha…

The circus freaks of open source
The masterwork of Terry A. Davis is his eclectic operating system, TempleOS, which he worked on until his tragic death in 2018.

Farewell, Dream Multimedia
I’m late with this one, I know: at the end of 2023 Dream Property GmbH, the company that made the Dreambox, went into liquidation, and I never wrote down what I think about it. I’ve been meaning to ever since, because for a long time this company was one of the very few that did what many of us in t…
