Hi! đź‘‹
I'm Horacio Herrera, Designer & Developer consultant from Panama🇵🇦 living in Barcelona. I help companies develop digital products that users want.
Currently I'm building Seed, a system that marries cryptographic signatures with a promise from the past: a publishing platform with fine-grained linking and embedding capabilities. By coupling decentralized technology with content distribution, Seed Hypermedia allows creators and moderators to collaborate while retaining authorship rights and offer their audiences and communities the interactivity of social media in an environment they curate and control.Â

Great product features in the wild: Canva Pause Subscription
Just saw the "pause subscription" feature on Canva and I found it amazing!. My daughter uses canva a lot for school and we wanted to pause the subscription for summer and seeing that they do support this makes me realize that their product team really study their audience and create features that fit our needs! This is something I would love to have and make our users feel when they use Seed! ❤️ If you want to learn more about how to pause your Canva plan: you can go here: https://www.canva.com/help/pause-annual-canva-plan/ (Photo by Swello on Unsplash)

How I organize my week on sundays
Originally published on my website: 21.02.2021 — english, life, thoughts, bullet-journal, productivity — 4 min read TLDR; I have a routine every sunday night to organize my whole week using my Bullet Journal. I'm not particurally the most organized person, but maybe my whole process can help others get some ideas on how to organize their daily tasks using non-digital tools. But before getting into the details, let's respond some common questions: Why not digital? Good question. For me writing by hand helps me connect and remember more things. Sometines where I wrote something and/or the context were I was while writing is the missing link between my silly brain and the thoughts I had. Every brain works in different ways, mine seems to work better when I combine ideas/thoughts with spacial environments and activities. Another thing that helps me write things by hand, is to release that concept/idea from my head, and free my brain from trying to keep it somewhere. I know that if I wrote it in my BuJo, I'm not forgetting it. I think this is more a feature of having an external process than not doing it digitally 🤷🏼‍♂️. Why Bullet Journal? The process Consistency is the real key Conclusions & ideas What's your process?
Unlimited self-generated morale
Originally published on my website: 27.04.2020 — english, motivation, thoughts, product-business, entrepreneurship — 2 min read Gabo sent me this article a few days ago and I could not stop thinking about it. Couldn’t thinking about it because I wanted to understand why this happened and how someone get into a level of having unlimited self-generated morale. Let’s talk about motivation first. For me, motivation comes in different ways and forms. For developers one general source of motivation are conferences. We all gather together, talk about specific topics, get new ideas, new perspectives and more important, new relationships. Usually we all go back from the those wanting to do more and rewrite our apps with the new shiny thing we saw at it. Then the inevitable happens... a few days later you don’t feel that motivation anymore, and the project you commit to start at the conference, goes back to the end of your TODO list. External and Internal motivation Unleash your own potential Be kind with yourself
