Now

What I’m up to right now. Projects, jobs, life stuff.

🌏 Where am I based?

Living in Wrocław, Poland

💻 What am I doing?

1. I work in a software company, which develops browsers and I’m responsible for growth activities (e.g., how can encourage people to use the browser more, faster, better, easier)
2. I have a side-project: Difree - a distraction-free writing app. I love to write, so I co-created a tool, that makes it easier and with fewer, or no distractions: https://www.getdifree.com/
3. My main side-project right now is GribGrab: a free weather app that shows a 7-day hourly meteogram (the dense, geeky forecast chart) for any city in the world. Type a location, get the chart. Built with Claude, data from Open-Meteo: https://gribgrab.com
4. I have another side-project: MarrowMinded — a daily reading companion that turns books I’ve already read into one AI-generated lesson per day, so I actually remember them: https://olekwrites.com/marrowminded
5. I open-sourced a set of Claude Code skills I use every day — thinking tools, not code, each one just my own way of thinking written down: https://github.com/jaal/claude-code-skills (I wrote about it here: https://olekwrites.com/skill-is-you-written-down)
6. I have another side-project: A simple web app that gives you Stoic philosophy advice using AI. I built it with Claude (no coding needed!), proving that anyone can create cool stuff even without programming skills: https://olekwrites.com/ask-stoic
7. Recently, I’m all in into plant-based cuisine, especially indian vegan cuisine.
8. I used to bake pizza, like a lot!: https://domowa.pizza
9. And bread, too: https://chlebowe.love
