@dvassallo Used to only be for super hot matches. Now they schedule it and play ads in some countries. Never seen in-play ad breaks before!

@dafourz Fitbit Air. Or I’ll just wear my Apple Watch when exercising

[Dan Rowden @dr]

This summer I'm moving on from Apple Watch and buying a €500 "starter" watch and a Fitbit Air.

I've got a decent shopping list of "proper" watches for future Dan, but starting my collection now, probably with one of these.

What was the first watch in your collection?

[Dan Rowden @dr]

@Reubens67tnr Considering this for most days and a Seiko 5 for smarter occasions…

[Dan Rowden @dr]

@JeffAAlexander 😆 fully aware this might be a bad idea

[Dan Rowden @dr]

@olafsenp 🤩

@isbkch Looks nice, thanks!

@maxkarpis Every carrier in Finland joins the chat

@AlinCatalin I think maybe I don't believe fully in what I'm building. If you have conviction, surely you just keep going? Or is it the market telling you it sucks. Hard to know!

[Dan Rowden @dr]

I've been talking with Claude a lot about past products, jobs, potential new ideas, current products with no traction etc.

It summed me up in one line 😅

"You're not a grinder. You're a spark-chaser."

If it doesn't kick off immediately (ilo, Subsail) I get bored and move on

@jimhilluk @philipbrown Almost until Christmas. This year they finish on Dec 22!

[Dan Rowden @dr]

It’s May 30 and my kids have broken up from for the summer 😂

[Dan Rowden @dr]

@philipbrown Holiday is normally June and July. But this year they go back mid August… not sure why!

The school year actually is pretty logical: two terms 5 months each, both sides of Christmas. I actually like it better than the UK system

If you or your team has launched an MCP server recently, what tool, framework or service did you use?

[Dan Rowden @dr]

@marckohlbrugge I actually need dev for my acl

[Dan Rowden @dr]

Bought a magazine. First time in years.

@standartmag

[Dan Rowden @dr]

Recently opened up a couple of magazine web projects from 2012 and 2016. Both Django apps, both totally untouched by AI.

Kind of surreal thinking about how I wrote every single line of those products character by character

@brian_lovin Very cool, I love seeing this stuff. Building on top of X data is super fun and useful!

[Dan Rowden @dr]

@levelsio @yasser_elsaid_ Is there a team involved? Curious why the “we” if it’s just him. And if there is a team is this still classed as “indie hacker”?

[Dan Rowden @dr]

@euboid Right. Pretty bold move to change your company name from one product to another

[Dan Rowden @dr]

Bold move to rename your (well-known) company to reposition it in modern times. Makes total sense
