Back in 2019 I started a digital fathers* community. We have a really nice Slack channel with tons of activity. In that channel, we share countless interesting links. I didn’t want those links to be lost in that massive pile that is the Slack history. And for that reason, I started to collect them on this page. Hopefully, this page is also useful for you. If you have any suggestions that fit there, please let us know.

Story points are just smoke and mirrors. Yes, hear me out.

Have you heard of Deadloch? The chances are rather high that you haven’t yet, which is a shame. It is one of the hidden gems of streaming. There are so many shows released currently that some fantastic ones fall through the cracks.

In 2017 I did an interview with Sweet Setup and talked about all the apps I was using at that moment. Last week I stumbled upon this post by Matt Birchler and saw more and more people doing the same. So I thought it would be fun to do the same and see how my setup has changed over the years.

Every time I join a team as a freelancer I check a couple of things during my initial code review. Some are quite common, like:

A couple of years ago I was lucky to be in the first round of the Prototype Fund and was able to build SignDict. A German sign language dictionary that now has around 88,500 unique visitors a month and is one of the leading sign dictionaries in Germany.

If you have a website with a lot of text on it, you might discover that iOS and Internet Explorer will sometimes add links when they think they discovered a phone number.

I really love my Kobo eReader. Cheaper than Amazon, I can put epubs on it and buy ebook at every store that is not called “Amazon”. Most ebooks are just watermarked and don’t have any DRM attached to them ♡. You can even lend epubs from your local library using awesome services like OverDrive.

My wife is currently opening a coworking space for parents called little village and because of that, I investigated the topic a lot in the last couple of months.
