Hey, I’m Jim Mitchell. Saved by grace. Wrangler of nerds, herder of cats, and butcher of code, though not always in that order. This is my place on the web to explore technology, design, and simple living through the lens of someone who uses ellipses like punctuation should be optional... Indieweb is punk.
I’ve been so busy with life lately that I totally forgot to share recent updates I’ve made to OutPost, adding some useful features.
Recent changes: https://jimmitchell.dev/outpost/changes/
This weekend looks to be a quiet one, so I plan to submit the iOS app to the App Store review team. The Mac version is available to be updated/downloaded if you’re already using it.
I’m happy to share that Apple has approved remnml for TestFlight beta testing on both iOS and Mac. For those that have been waiting, you can get it here:

Looking forward to hearing thoughts on my take for a Reminders replacement.
I’ve submitted both the iOS and Mac versions of remnml to the App Store for review to make available for public testing. Once both are approved, I’ll share links…
It struck me as I was reading this post… Just 30 years ago, those who were lucky enough to be online were connecting to the internet from a desktop computer using a modem over POTS. Today, I can pull a phone out of my pocket, launch its browser, and view a page served from the other side of world in a matter of seconds from anywhere else in the world.
I'm turning a personal project I've been using for a while into a macOS and iOS app for others to use. Check it out if Apple Reminders and simple is something you've been hoping to see together.
If you’ve been an OutPost iOS Test Flight user and you have feedback you’d like provide, now is the time to do it. I’m getting ready to submit to Apple and would like to handle any challenges you’ve run into. If you’ve had a positive experience, I’d love to hear that too. So either way, shoot me an email at outpost@jimmitchell.dev.
I doubt I will ever think touchscreen Macs are a good idea. I am simply too old for it at this point in my life.
Another post in which I share a few more thoughts about AI. Some who read will agree, others are going to flame me to death. Such is the chance we all take sharing anything on the internet.
I gave my browser cleaning utility Cache Out a little bit of love while OutPost percolates with users.
I’m working on adding a distraction free writing mode to OutPost in order to get maximum use of screen real estate on smaller devices. It’s working well in my own testing so far.
