This is a snapshot from the past. View the current update for what I'm focused on now.

Current Now

Personal

The first & also the last time I used eBay

I would expect to be treated fairly when using such a big and trusted platforms like eBay. It turned out the opposite can be true. I am personally not going to make another purchase over there again. I am a big fan of St. Lucia band and since last Christmas, I also became an official vinyl collector. That said, I found a "Still sealed!" version of their album called Matter originally released in 2016. As you can imagine, it wasn't cheap (97,49 EUR to be precise). I won the auction as the only bidder, only to find out on the 7th of January that the copy was used before! The story is too long, but you can read all updates on my X profile here. 3 weeks later and the case is still pending.

Swimming, running & ski-touring

Liptovský Ján has an amazing water. It's been a while since I visited the last time. The 3 sports accompany me during this winter and help me keep a balanced lifestyle as a programmer context engineer / vibe coder. It is tougher when comparing to other seasons of the year. I was successful only at 66% rate when it comes to movement in January. I will try to improve this metric.

Business

Guy Raz

I revisited "How I Built This", making the book behind podcast the 13th in my collection of favorites. I managed to read it in 9 days. I listened to podcasts about Figma, Snap and also one more that I cannot recall at the moment. To me, it's a good sign that I came back to this. It's a sign of fresh energy for 2026 that I am ready to start utilizing.

free with tech

Some people in my life have started to ask me where are the videos. I took a pause to get a fresh perspective, which I also talked about in my previous Now update. Today, I got some ideas on topics to cover and I am planning to publish the 1st video of 2026 tomorrow so let's see how far I get with my intention. I am going to do this one step at a time so no big goals for now. I made some great progress last year. However, I also have a new project in the making.

fwt. echo

Since my meetup about free with tech last year, I kept revisiting this idea that someone from the audience asked me about. It was about the ability to search inside a collection of paper journals. I keep track of project ideas, but some of them naturally stick and they keep coming back. The same was true for fwt. joex & fwt. axis, both of which are now on the App Store. The same is true now for fwt. echo, and it is now officially in the making. The priority is for it to be privacy-first. Journals contain sensitive personal information that needs to be protected at all costs. The main objective for this app is to help user find relevant pages for the topic they describe, using just natural language.

Local-first paradigm

I was happy to watch this Cult.Repo mini-doc video on YT yesterday. I was aware local-first exists, but this video got me excited about it. Also, it got me thinking.. Tech Independence at free with tech is actually about the same thing! I also realized there are these layers that I keep oscillating around: human-first, analog-first, local-first. That's how tech was supposed to be from the beginning. We have work to do.

General

llms.txt

My website is LLM-friendly now. How? It now fully aligns with llms.txt standard proposal. If you go look into the footer, you will see the reference to this file. Also, whenever you are on a subpage, footer now also references Markdown version of the current page, which LLMs should prioritize over HTML version that is human-first. Here is to the future of agentic web browsing.

Clawdbot, Moltbot... OpenClaw?

It's been all over the internet this past week. For tinkerers, this is heaven. I am not jumping on the hype train just yet. I tend to be cautious around the idea of giving LLMs access to personal data. Sure, this tool is great for running experiments and being at the forefront of AI innovation. When you don't possess HW worth ~20k EUR that would let you run powerful LLM model locally, I think you shouldn't use this for personal stuff. Otherwise, you are letting more companies harvest your sensitive information. However, I will stay curious about this topic.
