I’ve been running a small self-built app with an old friend for 10 years.
It tracks my mental state using quick slider-based pairwise comparisons and generates an egogram in about 10 seconds.
Over a decade I’ve collected enough data for long-term patterns.
It’s a quiet tool that helps me understand and regulate my mind.
I want to build my own app to reclaim the flow of my life.
I want to live on my own terms again—without noise, without platform-driven rhythms.
It doesn’t need to be perfect like a polished product.
It just needs to be mine, and able to grow with me.
My freedom is living by my own law.

Raspberry Pi feels like a 1990s sweet old PC all over again.
The excitement of connecting devices, like GPIO pins, recalls serial and parallel ports
Tweaking, adjusting, and troubleshooting teaches you more than just following instructions
Growing your Pi and skills brings joy in ways automated systems can’t
Constraints spark creativity and deep learning

Technology exists to extend human abilities, yet so often it is applied in ways that disrupt mental calm.
Why do we use our most powerful tools to scatter attention instead of supporting focus, reflection, and deep thinking?
