The Manual #62 - You are now responsible
After a certain age, you are responsible.
It is your responsibility, no one's else, to teach yourself the things you were deprived of.
To unlearn and let go of all the toxic habits, because flaunting anger issues, being emotionally unavailable, and not being able to communicate your feelings seems like nothing more than an excuse.
There is no excuse to be lazy.
It’s easy to be a victim. It’s better to not let them define you.
Life is unfair to everyone in various ways, a little to some, a lot to others. You cannot spend your whole life whining and complaining about how cruel it was to you; the trauma inflicted upon you cannot be justified, but it is your duty to heal, grow, and feel safe in your mind.
My new website is live
I’ve spent the last couple months rebuilding store.oliur.com into its own thing. I’ve named it PlatSupply.
Name is supposed to be Platinum and Supply mixed together. Platinum was one of the elements I had running through my veins when I went through chemotherapy.
The aim is for it to now be a marketplace. Not just for my own products, but other creators too. However not everyone can just make an account and sell products. We want to curate and keep the quality of products at a top level.
We also want to expand the range of products. I want to sell fonts, templates, some graphic design assets, video assets and much more. Just anything that can be of value.
Summer sale
We’re also running an exclusive summer sale for everyone subscribed to the newsletter. Use code SUMMER2025 for 20% off everything that’s not already discounted.
Link Lowdown
A collection of links to stuff I think are worth sharing.
Due to the popularity of Link Lowdown, I’ve made it into it’s own website - linklowdown.com. Still a major WIP. You’ll see links on there more often than here. My newsletter will still be tightly curated.
Comrade Berlin — have two of their designs, they look awesome.
Monotype — a minimal typewriter app for Mac.
Dropbox x McLaren — one of the best case study pages I’ve ever seen.
Umbrel — beautiful website and beautiful product, when it’s essentially a mini server.
Five Cents — cool looking expense tracker.
Comet — now perplexity have launched their own browser.
Pattrn — a habit tracking app.
Kyugo — a very unique looking time/calendar tracking app.
What I’m working on
PlatSupply — transforming it into a marketplace.
Online Creator Course — learn how I make money from digital products.
Video Creator Course — teaching people how to make high quality video for socials and the web.
iPhone Creator Kit — we’ve made a ton of new presets and will be releasing one new pack every month going forward. We’ll also have an early release bundle for anyone who wants to save some cash and buy them all at once.
