Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet, wit, dramatist

It is pure fantasy to think that you could have done things differently or lived your life any other way.
This dream of an imagined past feeds an equally unhelpful delusion of the future in which you consciously learn and strive to change ‘yourself’ and do things differently.
All of these behaviours and activities happen, of course, but not as the result of conscious so-called will but automatically and spontaneously from our unconscious.
We do what we do when we do it whatever our conscious awareness may declare to the contrary.
Our thoughts and ideas are the least of us. Always late to the party that’s already in full swing, uninvited yet full of their own self importance and righteousness. Taking credit for everything and responsibility for nothing.
#Spontaneity landing page in progress, but coming soon! #ADHD #Neurodiversity #BuildInPublic #IndieDev
I like to buy flowers for my wife. If I set a fixed reminder to do this on the 1st of every month, it can feel scripted, which takes away from the gesture.
With #Spontaneity, I can set a rolling reminder to buy flowers sometime within the next month, keeping it feeling thoughtful and genuine. When that task is marked completed, then the next reminder is calculated within the following month (with a buffer ensuring two reminders don’t happen too close together).
Here's a start:
1. Landing page setup 
2. Signup via email & signup/login via Apple working via Supabase
3. Reminders being pulled via Supabase db
4. Actually cheered out loud and sent my wife a text with the success message when I created the first reminder through the app’s UI 
Hey everyone! It's been 10 days since my last #Spontaneity update, but I'll be sharing plenty this weekend. Here's some highlights:
The good: Made huge strides in development. The app is really taking shape!
The bad: I maaaaaay have neglected the marketing & communcations side a bit. Oops.
Balancing a full-time job, family life, and app development (planning, coding, and marketing) is challenging. Fellow devs, how do you manage it all?
A quotation from Austen, Jane:
«
Why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!
