What I'm doing now
James AdamSo. It’s been a minute1.
I last published2 something here a year and a half ago, and then it went quiet. So! Let me tell you what I’m up to.
If you’ve been following along3 you’ll know that since mid-2023, I was part4 of Good Enough, a little company of friends making small, thoughtful software products:
- Pika – blogging for people who just want to write,
- Jelly – a shared inbox for the rest of us.
- AlbumWhale – curating collections of the best music.
- Letterbird – the easiest, most beautiful way to put a contact form on your website.
- … and a few other things.
With dizzying ideals and lofty ambition, Good Enough rose higher and higher, into the cosmic expanse… and then gracefully wound down, like a firework that bursts beautifully and then scatters into a handful of glowing embers, each drifting off in its own direction.
(I am making light of this but in reality it was a process undertaken with a level of conscientiousness, generosity and kindness that I doubt I’ll ever encounter again. What a time. I had the space to think about things like this and coin phrases like “Remototem”. I built an unreleased product called “Chicken”. What a time.)
From those embers, a few things flourished. Pika and LetterBird carried on with the reborn Good Enough.
The glowing ember that is Jelly… came with me.
