hi, my name is Alex, and i’m a phone addict.
it takes too much of my life, messes with my dopamine, and i want to fix it.
i’ve been working on a few things to help me get back to presence. it’s a personal journey, but i want to share what i find along the way. the first product will be a physical object.
but before anything else.. we need an internet home.

i have a tradition of visiting used bookstores whenever i travel. one of my favorite ways to absorb the local culture, history, and graphic design traditions.

half of my Claude Code projects are showing this status. somehow I lost the chat history, and god knows what else. absolutely unacceptable experience. @ClaudeDevs
update:
"Who is responsible. Anthropic chose the 30-day default and made it silent. There is no prompt, no warning, and no trash folder. The setting exists to let you keep transcripts longer, but nothing in the app points you to it. So the design belongs to Anthropic. The only thing on your side was not knowing the setting existed, which is an unreasonable thing to expect anyone to know."
just great.

btw, the process of making it was inspired by @krispuckett’s experiments. love being able to compare different approaches and see how they behave.
everything stays in the app, so i can always come back later and keep iterating.
realized i want to see how much i've wasted on social media without even opening the app. so, meet the first LCKDN widget!

not only is it an insanely beautiful FLW gem, but you can also take an architectural tour and learn which custom furniture was made at San Quentin prison from his designs.
must.
Fun fact: having my civil wedding at the place in these pictures in a month. If you're a designer, you should visit it—the Marin County Civic Center by Frank Lloyd Wright

sexy interactions, impressive attention to detail and so many new use cases. huge respect to the team.
BUT.
we gotta stop shoving more and bigger displays in people’s faces. it’s getting out of control.

this is the way
More details on the lens selector for @lichtcamera.
The glass is a Metal shader refracting the live camera preview. It runs on a dynamic light engine I built for the whole app, so its light effects are never static. It reacts to how you hold and point your phone.
The selfie camera sits in the same strip as the back lenses, but it behaves separately. When you reach the 0.5× lens while dragging, it slides further out and opens a gap. Reaching it takes a bit more travel, so you don't hit it by accident.
All these details work together. That's what makes it feel right for everyday use.
