@netflix The original show was already an adaption of the Battle of the Gods and Resurrection F movies.

Why not cover the Goku Black and Tournament of power arcs instead?

You can check it out now while I keep working on updates and everything leading up to the full launch.

If photo reports are part of your workflow, give it a look 👇

I've been quietly building https://t.co/ZN9UGfUFkM 🛠️

A growing collection of free, browser-based tools for images, files, developers and more.

No installs required.

And now you can try the new PhotoSheet demo there too 👀

What's one piece of software you'd happily pay for once, but would never subscribe to?

I think there's still a huge market for simple software you can buy, install and actually own.

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

PhotoSheet Reports Pro will remain a one-time purchase. No subscriptions.

I believe that when you pay for software, you should be able to own it, use it offline, and keep using it without another monthly bill.

Question for anyone who creates photo reports for work:

What's the most annoying part?

Importing photos? Captions? Formatting? Keeping everything aligned? Making changes afterward?

I've been working on PhotoSheet and I'm curious where people lose the most time.

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

For those people creating and selling ebooks and similar digital products, what online market place do you use?

Asking for a friend 🤔

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

Been doing alot of edge testing on the new PhotoSheet Reports Pro update.

Gonna make sure it's bullet proof before the official launch (soon)

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

Been spending a lot of time on PhotoSheet lately.

The original idea was simple: make photo reports without manually fighting with image layouts and formatting.

The latest work has mostly been about making that simple idea feel really polished.

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

A pretty big PhotoSheet Reports Pro update is on the way.

I'm focusing on the little things that makes it easier to use. Smoother workflows, better handling of real-world photos, edge cases and export reliability.

The update should be out in the next week or so.

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

Working in environmental consulting has changed how I think about software.

The best automation opportunities aren't always complicated.

Sometimes it's just noticing something you've done manually 500 times and finally asking:

"Why am I still doing this?"

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

The more software I build, the more I think "less setup" is a feature.

No account to create.
No database to configure.
No library to maintain.

Open the program and start using it.

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

A lot of "automation" isn't particularly exciting.

PhotoSheet Reports Pro started because I was tired of putting photos into reports, resizing them, aligning them, adding captions...

Boring repetitive work is the best stuff to automate.

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

If you're building tools for yourself, I'm sure there are other people looking to solve the same problem and are willing to pay for it.

Thank you for everyone who supported me and my projects 🙏

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

I recently made my first $100 online.

PhotoSheet Reports Pro — $60
MediaExplorer — $40

It's not a ton of money, but it's alot more than what I was expecting when I first started building.

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

One reason I built MediaExplorer:

I don't think organizing your media should require reorganizing your files.

Sometimes your folders are already the organization system.

Software should work with that, not replace it.

I posted about MediaExplorer on Reddit today and got roasted.

Thing is, it wasn't constructive cristism but it was compared to open/freeware programs.

If a free program overlaps 50% of your what your paid program does or has increased setup time, is it worth the price?

[Mikey @MholmesonX]

MediaExplorer 1.2 is officially here! 🚀

It's also live on Product Hunt today. If you like local-first software and keeping control of your own media, I'd love your support!
