Had fun today creating this promo for Sluip, my privacy-first cycling app.
You won't find it in your feed. No one shared it. No one tagged it. No heatmap glow. No proof anyone rode this street today. The best rides don't leave a trail.

The #NoMouse Challenge is a global effort to raise awareness about accessible web design. Try using your website without a mouse. Use the keyboard instead. Is it possible to access all features and operate all buttons, sliders, and other controls?

I built a cycling app that knows nothing about you.

I totally agree and what I am creating works for me. My goal is to reduce my dependence on big tech. The maintenance part is definitely one of the cons but it’s all part of the learning process!
An old pdf with a failure badge crossing the street in front of a cop car.
That PDF has been on your site for years. Now it’s got a record.
It costs pennies to tag a PDF & six figures not to.
