New Boost Driver, Lilmem hits Top Paid, Love for Bibo

Hello friends,

Little Memory, an app which I’ve been running since 2011, has its ups and downs throughout the years. Once in a while, I get a big bump in traffic and sign-ups with an influx of new users looking for a simple way to start journaling and an easy way to reflect on their lives. Last month, one Lil’Memer shared the app in a reddit thread which subsequently bumped it up to the #2 (and later #1!) Top Paid Lifestyle app in the App Store. It’s always an honor to see folks who find the app valuable to them. 🙏🏼

On a more somber note, we recently said goodbye to our eldest dog, Bibo. We brought him to the beach and he got to smell the scents of San Francisco: the city where he spent 10 years of his life, in his last days. I feel lucky to have known him and to learn about life from the shining light of his existence as I contemplate on my own aging self.

We finally took a vacation last week in Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo. I hadn’t been to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk since I was a kid, and it was a refreshing change of scene to feel the ocean breeze while riding the rollercoasters. I think we scarred some kids for life when we over-dramatized our screaming through the (not-so-scary) haunted house ride.

A boost driver is now available for the Noctigon KR4. If you’ve been looking for longer runtimes, more efficiency, less heat, and more stable output, you may want to consider this upgrade for your next light. The boost driver is now also available for Emisar/Noctigon’s entire line-up of lights.

Ali leaves home. Bibo waits for her return. This is his soundtrack.

Things I’ve been listening to this past month:

  • Akira the Don - Good
