Soft-launching Remlo.

A native, considered home for notes, tasks, and habits across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

It’s deliberately small. Fast, offline-capable, synced through your iCloud, and designed to feel like it belongs on the devices you already use.

Need design? I've got some fractional spots left for Q4 -> https://t.co/Cj2lXPMTGi

I’ve rebuilt all my case studies at as interactive mini-apps.

This one shows a marketing website I built a few years ago, with the Prismic slices labelled on the homepage so you can see the reusable components in context.

Morning ride by the river. Taipei is so underrated.

I've never been more productive in my life than I am now and yet I still feel like I'm behind

Taipei is a mountain's lover dream. This place is less than 20 minutes by car from the city.

Sunset in the mountains. So many cool places in Taipei

Eluan ships one built-in theme on purpose.

Minimal is a neutral baseline. A product’s look becomes a custom theme, built from token overrides or generated from accent colors with the Theme generator.

This way the design system provides structure without exporting my brand or preferences.

A checkbox in any Remlo note becomes a real task. It can move into Today, a due-date list or a custom board, but it always keeps a link back to the note it came from.

[Vas @vasfrolik]

Remlo doesn’t ask where a thought belongs before you write it down.

There are no folders to choose first. Checkboxes become tasks, routines become habits, and links build the graph while you write.

I don’t use code editors as much these days, but Zed’s a pleasure whenever I do. Slick design, everything where I expect it to be. Just a really nice place to work.

[Vas @vasfrolik]

Eluan’s theme generator checks 62 foreground and border pairs in light and dark.

When a pair misses the contrast floor, it tries the token’s own color ramp and records the correction or remaining shortfall.

Try it out

Taipei summers aren't too bad

@stevelauda_ TW still but can’t wait to be back there!

Eluan’s type scale has ten fluid steps, anchored at 480, 748 and 1024px.

font size, line height and tracking move together, components consume the trio as one decision, which removes a surprising amount of one-off type repairs from an app.

I usually reach for Next, Neon and Vercel. For my wife’s app, I’ve gone with a self-hosted Python backend. I used to love messing around with Python and Django, and AI has me wanting to dig deeper. Everything works so far. Deffo more fun.

[Vas @vasfrolik]

@ilyamiskov exciting! always wanted to get the vision pro but thought the price was ridiculous for something that might not stick around! $1,300 is a much easier gamble, can't wait to get my hands on this one

[Vas @vasfrolik]

@DylanKelly_DK Super interesting write-up! I like both! McLaren might tick the blandification box, but I still think it looks great

[Vas @vasfrolik]

Love the footer illustrations going around lately, so I made one for my wife's website
