🤞 for some F1 soon.

Andy here 👋 I’m in San Francisco for the GraphQL Summit. I’m excited to learn about the latest innovations from Apollo & hear from other companies that are using GraphQL. GraphQL will be powering our upcoming Public API. Learn more here: buff.ly/aUxxZPi I’ll be sharing more throughout the day.

I'm building out a new iOS Composer for @buffer.com with support for threaded posts and a bunch of other improvements.

Last week was a big one for our iOS app - we shipped the most significant update since I (Andy) released the very first version back in 2012. 🚀

Thrilled to share the most significant update to Buffer for iOS since I started building it in 2011. v15.0 brings a full Liquid Glass refresh, a brand new look, and under the hood, I've transitioned the app from mostly Objective-C to Swift. The best version of Buffer for iOS I've ever shipped. 🎉

Alpenglow v11.0 is available now! Setting the stage for a big year for Alpenglow as it turns 10 years old in May and I have lots of things being cooked up.

Only one left to go. 😅

That preorder flow was faster than previous years.

Buffer v15.0 is all bundled up and submitted. Now to breathe and also cross fingers. Need to tackle @alpenglowapp next. 🤪

Curious if anyone else is seeing delayed alarms firing when using AlarmKit? Some seem to go off at the correct time and then others seem to trigger hours late. 🤔 #ios26

I've been giving @buffer.com a little visual refresh this past week. Paired with iOS 26's Liquid Glass its feeling like a brand new app. #ios26 #ios

Want to help test our upcoming @buffer.com iOS 26 release? Join our TestFlight here: testflight.apple.com/join/DOpMcusn After months of work, Liquid Glass adoption, Swift & SwiftUI modernisation, and our own GraphQL APIs, the first public build is here. I think it’s the smoothest it’s ever been.

Spent a little bit of today wrestling with SwiftData. Ended up jumping over to @mergesort.me’s Boutique library and it worked right away. github.com/mergesort/Bo...

Still a bit rough around the edges, but starting to sprinkle a little more fun into the @buffer.com iOS app ✨

Am I right in thinking that the new Interactive Snippet Views don't allow for text input? Was hoping to mimic the New Reminder flow but seems like Reminders uses some private magic. #ios26

Doing some experimenting with glass and SwiftUI lists to see how performant they are now.

All the haptic feedback.

Found Odwalla. So it's time to watch WWDC sessions like it's 2016. #WWDC #IYKYK

We plan to shift tabs within @buffer.com to the top with a compose button in the bottom right soon. With iOS 26, I wonder if the tabs at the bottom with a Compose button alongside would be easier to use. Keep in mind that Apple will refine the glass effects during the beta.

Ready for WWDC. Pretty sure Watson will be asleep by the time it kicks off.

If you’re at the @revenuecat.com bashcade, say hi and grab an @alpenglowapp.com pin.

Thank you @ay8s.com & @daveverwer.com for inspiring me to finally make an App Clip (and enamel pin)! #Lagree #Pilates www.pixelpusher.club/p/making-an-...

I joined @buffer.com 13 years ago today, which coincides with a significant milestone for the company: This week, we hit a new all-time high ARR of $22,395,427, surpassing our previous peak five years ago.

Made a little plugin to show @revenuecat.com data on my @usetrmnl.com display. Showing fake numbers right now but I plan on being more transparent about them soon. 👀

Easing back into code after the @buffer.com retreat last week. Got a bunch of @usetrmnl.com recipes built out for @f1calendar.com and our other Motorsport calendars. Now finishing up a @alpenglowapp.com plugin.

Something I’ve been struggling with that I’d appreciate any suggestions on — we’ve been unable to ship updates to our Buffer Safari Extension for nearly a year. The Extension builds a link, grabs the desired content, and passes that through to populate our web app composer.

Deployed something new to the @alpenglowapp.com backend. Now time to get some sleep, tomorrow I’m getting the iPad photobooth printing via SFTP ready for the @buffer.com retreat.

I've wanted to bring more in-depth Shortcut options to @buffer.com, supporting the specific fields for each network. With our new public API on the horizon, I've been testing a few new endpoints early, which are making this a reality even easier to implement. Hopefully get this out soon! 😍

Testing a Threaded Post

I started a new side project last night. The first one in a long time. I don't know if it'll go anywhere, but it was still good for my soul. And I wrote about that part of it here. joshcollinsworth.com/blog/the-bli...

Was scrolling my Facebook Feed and dismissed 8 adverts for cat litter gadgets. I haven’t had a cat for decades and you’d think all the dog content would make targeting easy. 😅

F1 race over so it’s time to get some sleep. 🥱

Glad the fix for @f1calendar.com's emails worked smoothly yesterday for the race weekend reminder. We sent out over 10K emails within a couple of minutes and the Push Notifications have been working smoothly for each session.

Severance 🤯

Ready to cheer on Team Papaya in Melbourne! #f1 #f12025 #mclarenf1 #teampapaya #formula1 #dogs #chihuahua #chihuahualover #dogmom #dogdad

Curious if anyone knows any good methods to test sending emails to 10k+ subscribers? I'm using Postmark and send them in batches but the flow timed out. Could send to myself with me+{number}@email.com but want to avoid triggering any spam issues.

Posted about how I'm using App Clips in Alpenglow.If you've never used an App Clip you can try one out in the post.

Been playing around with building out a @f1calendar.com recipe for @usetrmnl.com. Will release once I've tested on real hardware in the next week or two. You can use this link to save $10 on your own TRMNL. ay8s.com/trmnl #f1

Doing my own pre-season testing for @f1calendar.com. I'm adjusting how we send out emails and push notifications to lower the costs. #f1

It’s alive! I’ve switched over the macOS app that powered the previous photobooth to iOS and rewritten the GIF generation. Now, I just need to set it up to post the photos and GIFs somewhere. #3dprinting #app

Alpenglow can’t quite beat the Weather Channel in the US, but in the UK 😍

Pretty happy with how this photo booth is turning out. Going to be much easier to pack this in my luggage. 😂 If I need to print the front panel again, I’ll need to refine the supports. Everything else has been smooth.

New filament arrived so it's time to try and print the new Photo Booth enclosure. Ended up tweaking the design a little bit, the iPad is inserted at an angle and kept in place by two lips behind and gravity. You have to lift the iPad upwards to get it back out. #3dprinting

My wife has released a brand new Asian inspired collection of Dog Bandanas. 🐶 Check them out at thewoofwarehouse.com/collections/...

Hacking away on a couple of things this weekend. Adding localization to a site and getting my head around PostgreSQL. Also keeping an eye on @alpenglowapp.com as it’s still sitting at #3 in Weather.
