Priority changes when you can see your expiry date.
We talk about planning for the future as if it’s completely uncertain.
But some parts of the future are statistically predictable.
Survival curves, health decline, and the overlapping years we’re likely to share with the people we care about.
Am curious, so I built a small app called Lifeline to visualise this.
It shows:
- Survival probability over time
- Shared years likely to overlap with parents, spouse, kids, even pets
- When certain windows quietly start closing
Seeing it plotted out changes something. Some things can wait. Some things clearly can’t.
I believe that in the future, when we have enough data, we may be able to design life more intentionally.
Not to control everything, but to understand the boundaries better.
Because learning about the limits changes how we prioritise.
And sometimes, seeing the horizon is enough to change today. 😐
Built a AI-assisted sitemap generator
Creating a sitemap usually takes a fair bit of time, and I was curious if I could build a simple tool to remove some of that friction.
I added a few parameters based on my own experience, from both SEO and UX perspectives so the structure isn’t just logical, but purposeful.
The interesting part came when I introduced a “what if” element.
I simulated different types of users navigating the sitemap, and using a thinking-out-loud approach, I could observe how this synthetic persona might behave, where they hesitate, and what they gravitate towards.
It almost feels like watching the structure being tested before it’s even built.
Still a small experiment, but it made me rethink how AI could improve the early stages of workflow.
Not by replacing decisions, but by making thinking more visible.
