Thought Detox is Available For Pre-Order

Thought Detox is now available for pre-order!

In the interest of transparency, I’ve decided that the first update of every month should include a recap of how things went the month before. Let me know if you find this useful!

Recap: January 2021

Most of my time was spent working on the Thought Detox launch (more on this below). I’ve been telling myself that “release is imminent” for a couple of months now, but there’s always something more to do! The app is nearly complete, so I’m turning my focus now to building the landing page.

You may have seen this tweet yesterday.

I've been teasing the work I've been doing on the first new Dropped Bits app since… wow, 2015? Has it been that long since I launched Per?

It's coming, and it's based on this Glitch app that I built in vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I'm excited to tell you all more about it soon, but for now if you're interested in testing the public beta, it's available on Airport (here's a direct link).

In 2019's site update, analytics were ripped out while I looked for a more privacy-focused option. I'm happy to announce that the site now uses privacy-respecting Plausible Analytics, and I've updated the privacy policy to reflect this.

Plausible Analytics is an open-source project dedicated to making web analytics more privacy-friendly. Our mission is to reduce corporate surveillance by providing an alternative web analytics tool which doesn’t come from the AdTech world. (Source)

In the name of transparency, I'm going a step further: site analytics are now publicly available. Go here to see exactly what data is collected on droppedbits.com.

The change to Dropped Bits' privacy policy is available in its entirety here.
