The project management tool Height.app is shutting down, which is a real bummer - our company was one of the early adopters and we have used it for years. Height had one of the best designs I've ever seen, and I had high hopes for it.

This is a reminder that any service can be shut down at any moment, with no safeguards in place. It's also a reminder of the power of open source - something we don't have in this case.

I have a lot of requirements for a project management tool - most notably a solid API, linkable tasks with task IDs, and a good user interface. After this experience, I'd prefer something open source. Maybe Plane.so, looks very similar to Height.app?

Any solid alternatives to tools like Jira, ClickUp, Height, or Favro? I'm open to suggestions.

Another week. Another museum. This week the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm. I came here largely to see this one tool chest.

It's the Mästermyr toolchest. A 1000 year old chest filled with blacksmithing and woodworking tools. It's an incredibly important find. Beautifully preserved in the bog. The tools are wonderful. I'd seen pictures and read about these tools, but to see them up close. That hack saw is exquisite.

I wonder how the chest ended up discarded.

I build prototype synths and (guitar) pedals. But how do i prototype the prototype? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

But of course, with my prototype prototyper!
