S02E19 – 165 Days
Good morning 👋
165 days – that’s the number of days since it was announced that Dark Sky was being bought by Apple and when I pushed out the update last Friday. Although it feels like the news broke yesterday, at the same time I feel like I’ve been working towards this update for forever (This year huh 😒). To be clear, I’ve emphasised the importance of this update because with the improvements made to the radar on the back of it, there are no more ifs or buts when presenting Appy Weather as a legitimate all round Dark Sky alternative.
So, what happens next?
Frankly, I’m tired writing about this topic and you must be too reading it 😂 In the last 24 hours, I feel like I got my life back after a six month remote assignment. It’s good to be back! I’m feeling present and that I owe it to myself & everyone around me to take it easier moving forward. Although a presence on iOS remains a big deal, it isn’t urgent. What’s a priority is the need to iterate towards a work-life balance that doesn’t involve me checking out for months at a time. That’s how it’s been since I went indie, now almost two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about what’s to come, more than I’ve been for several months. But this time, I’ve no interest to give up my life in return.
Have a relaxing Sunday! I know I will be :)
Best,
Bardi
