Favorite part of working on my HiFutureSelf app is that there is no finish line. Incremental improvements over 13 years, and no end in sight. Each release feels so wonderful. Barely noticeable but the difference over time is massive.
One of my "home-cooked" apps has been in the App Store for 12 years now!
It's never really gotten much traction, and I mostly maintain it for me and my friends.
I love to make small incremental updates to it. Really fun experience overall!
Absolutely! I love seeing my friends use an app I made for all of us.
Beautifully done! Really amazing tool.
Thank you! It's really fun! The HiFutureSelf app is more focused on day to day future messages (motivational quotes, reminders, etc) rather than emails far off into the future. Although it can be used for that as well.
Let me know what you think of the app!
My first platform for programming! Simple Menus, Goto statements, images. I loved making games on this thing.
And yes, it was highway robbery at $90+

I just finished re-writing my little app, HiFutureSelf, from ObjC to Swift. It was extremely satisfying to remove 10-year-old code.
The original codebase was written for iOS 4. Feels like a lifetime ago.
Totally! I do too!
Maybe it's just me.. but somethings just don't fit into the calendar.
Like when I pull up to the gym I get a message to do my 100 squats for the day (AND NOT ACCEPT LESS). Or when I arrive to the grocery store to pickup shampoo. Or when I leave the office today to go by the pharmacy to pick up a prescription...
Not sure if this helps, but I made a little iOS app a while ago to help with my workflow. Check it out: HiFutureSelf (http://hifutureself.com)
HiFutureSelf is a super fast way to send messages to the future as reminders. You can set a time or location to trigger the message. It's completely free and maintained for fun :)
That feeling, that you're feeling is actually delight.
This is really fun!
PSP. The best GameBoy, I've ever had.
Tennis (obsession maybe), photography, reading fiction, New Girl TV show (don't judge me).
Fantastic app! Great work.
Thank you for checking out my app!
I just finished building a web version of the HiFutureSelf iPhone app. http://hifutureself.com/web
Same concept as the iPhone app (http://hifutureself.com). Type a message, select a time and hit send. Super fast timed reminders. The point of HFS is to get things out of your head and out of your inbox, until you need it.
This is a beta release, so I would love to have some feedback. It's all free, hope you enjoy the app!
Thank you again!
