Weeknotes vol. 11: “Basically done.”

By Garrett, 16 May 2025

Another week! Lets see what happened, shall we?

Phil and I started the week with a Braindrop strategy meeting to revisit the scope of work and what comes in what phase, etc.

Braindrop for Mac is ‘basically done’, and if you make stuff on the computer then you know what that means: it’s working perfectly, aside from the few things on the procrastination list that will probably take another week or five.

And I’m using it full time to track the work to be done to finish it. 🤯 #inception

There’s also work behind the scenes worth shouting about. Matt continues to build out the test suite and nudge me to make technical changes that will make the app better in the long run, which I do and then he fixes. For instance, single table inheritance and converting archived from a boolean field to an archived_at date field.

If there was an award for the simplest, most bulletproof app ever to be built I would probably need to buy a tux.

On the design front, Christoph finalized marketing illustrations for the Braindrop landing page, which will be launching early next week. If you have a Mac and you’re insterested in being a beta tester, you’ll be able to sign up on the website.
