The Idea After deciding to build an iOS app using AI, the first thing I set out to create was a metronome app designed for dark stage environments. Back in college, I played drums — and while that was a while ago, there weren’t many metronome apps that felt both clean and professional. (Turns out, that’s still true today.) That’s what led me to the idea: a simple, black-and-white metronome where
I have a confession: I'm a productivity app addict. Notion, Todoist, Things, TickTick, Bear, Obsidian — I've tried them all. And every single one failed me in the same way. Not because they were bad apps. But because they let me add unlimited tasks. So I'd wake up Monday morning, open my to-do app, and see 47 items staring back at me. By 9am I was already paralyzed.

It's a one-line item on the roadmap. "Send a push notification when X happens." Estimate is two days, three if the backend doesn't have FCM credentials yet. There's a library for it. The library is the visible part. The other 90% is platform lifecycle, registration state machines, race conditions with navigation, payload archaeology, and a half-dozen iOS and Android quirks. Nobody writes them down
Introduction Backup plugins are useful — but they are not a real disaster‑recovery strategy. In this article, I break down the real reasons why backup plugins fail, what actually happens during a server‑level crash, and how to build a recovery plan that works in the real world. Backup Plugins Only Work When WordPress Works A backup plugin depends on: WordPress running PHP running MySQL running the
