What I Am Doing Now

• Working on Lettera.md at Shiny Frog. It’s a very pleasant to use Markdown editor for any file on your system, outside of iCloud or databases.

• At SHIFT to AI I’m running workshops and coaching for engineering teams adopting AI coding tools (Codex, Claude, …). I am focusing on team activation and change management, based in Bielefeld, content in German. KI Beratung Bielefeld is the local landing page.

• We’ve bought a house in April 2026 for our family including the grandma, got access in June, and since then we’re tearing things down. That’s super scary, but the shell still stands, to my surprise. I’m also learning a lot about how houses are made, and while it’s a ton of work, it’s not magic.

• For The Archive v2, I am modernizing the file management and UI. The editor is fine, just needs some tweaks, but the shell around it should be replaced for macOS’s new design language.

• Continuously working on Pattern Language of Zettelkasten. A book project to form a shared language (of patterns) so that enthusiasts and experts have an efficient way to communicate. I love pattern languages, so this is a lot of fun.

• Working on a WordCounter upgrade for modern systems, looking into cross-platform development (Windows, Linux/GTK).
