My wife wanted a simple habit tracker but all the options on the AppStore seemed to require a monthly or yearly subscription 🤮 (#enshittificaton at work). So naturally I did what any sane developer would do and built one myself. We have been using it with TestFlight for the past year but I have finally got around to releasing it. All data is stored locally, no tracking and no subscriptions.
It even has a cute bear logo that my wife designed.

They know where I am and what I'm doing!
I've been driving my uncles' car while in Minnesota. I am now receiving SiriusXM spam emails.

It's against this landscape of #enshittificaton and scrounging for the last half acre ( https://vod.newellijay.tv/w/83McEYqJpCqn1UmWXqGWq2 ) that I am building our #CommunityMedia projects, and attempting to imbue them with #revolutionaryJoy
We make toys of our own original characters, most of which are cc-by-sa, or of public domain characters. We help other people make their own toys. (And we do it with direct recycled plastics and soon with biodegradable plastics.)
We make television programs (like the one I linked above) and podcasts to tell stories that are otherwise missing from the airwaves or to celebrate our community or just because we want to. We help other people make and distribute their own television.
We make video games and publish comic books and just generally try to provide an alternative to all the various kinds of media that are currently produced by four or five companies who would gladly see this nation fall to fascism if it meant making a buck.
