Behind the scenes
I built devglow for managing dev processes.
Then my girlfriend said: "I want that aesthetic too."
No code, no terminal — just the dark theme and the green glow.
So I made todoglow — same vibes, for everyone.
"Lightning fast and easy to use. I keep it open throughout my working day. Minimal and that's exactly why I like it. If you like Antinote, you'll love this!"
