April 2026: Preparing for Australia - Bryan's Briefing

Hey friend,
I'm preparing for my Working Holiday in Australia and looking for a job in Melbourne.

So if you have any contacts and/or recommendations I'd appreciate them! Just reply to this email.

Other than that, I’ve been working on my website and my DailySelfTrack app. I’ve made good progress with DailySelfTrack, the Android version is almost ready for user testing.

I also updated the launch checklist of my Clean Web Development Guide.

I have also been thinking about how I describe myself on places such as my website, e.g. the landing page or below my blog posts, and on spaces such as my social media bio. I feel like I never get them to a state where I'm content with them.

🌱 Cool Content I Made

My flow timer web app has been updated and improved.

Also posted smaller updates on my projects to BlueSky.
