It's not quite as interesting as a lot of stuff here, nor is it something I can link to just yet, but I'm writing a book about interviewing for product management roles. I took a sabbatical recently and have just started interviewing, and already I've had very mixed experiences - some really well organized and thought out, and others that were clearly thrown together with no thought. I started taking notes on what wa…
My wife is a dog breeder in Canada. She was starting to get worried about her dependence on Kijiji as the only site to advertise her puppy litters. Kijiji is a de facto monopoly due to network effects and they have slowly been increasing the fee they charge to post. In addition all other alternative sites are terrible - filled with pet scams.

I had a second episode of extremely high blood pressure in 2017. It's a long story, but I ended up being hospitalized in a cardiac surveillance unit. A big part of my cardiac issue was that I had allowed my overall fitness to drop quite dramatically. So, I'm working on a fitness goal app. Essentially, I track my blood pressure/heart rate along with my diet, exercise, etc. And, I'm working on finding correlations, wit…

https://atlas.patmurray.co A small app to create pretty wallpapers for iPhone and iPad out of various map designs. Has become quite popular in Germany. It started after I tweeted a screenshot of my iPhone home screen and people wanted me to make them a similar wallpaper of their city, so I built an app for it. Took exactly one week from tweet idea to App Store!
https://github.com/ioddly/meditations - Daily organizer based on habit formation. It actually needs a little bit of TLC which I'm hoping to give it once I finish up my current gig. I'm still the only user, as far as I know, but I use it daily so it's fun to work on.

What really powers triggerFS is the gigantic amount of plugins you can use to do any kind of task. Check out https:…
