I don’t hold grudges against people, just kitchenware. The blender blade that nicked me. The Pyrex bowl without a lid that mocks me. The lone champagne flute I accidentally orphaned. They’re incapable of forgiveness, so I never forget.

Recently I read something, somewhere (don’t remember where) that stuck with me. I’m paraphrasing, but it said: “… the amount of friction necessary for growth...” or something to that effect. It was written so matter of factly on the way to another idea, but it contained multitudes of its own.

wx.watch finally has the homepage I've always wanted to build. #wxusa #buildinpublic

Hey! This one worked without any intervention from me! 💪

This post came about an hour too late, but that’s because I was under the hood finally getting @tulsa.ok.wx.watch LIVE on Bluesky! Follow it for Tulsa County, OK WX alerts! #okwx

I just built my first #MCP server! Coding with AI is fun and fast, but I constantly find myself copying and pasting docs to keep it on track. Now my local MCP server lets Claude, Copilot and Cursor grab the docs themselves. #ModelContextProtocol

I’ve encountered Apple’s version of this (App Clips) a handful of times, mostly for parking which was pretty handy. But five years after they launched, I still have NEVER seen Apple’s QR code alternative for them in real life.

Basically everything except the meme generator is down.

I'm constantly amazed that @blankie.rest is the only app in the U.S. #MacAppStore's Top 10 Free Health & Fitness apps without #InAppPurchases. Every other "free" app requires a subscription or has a freemium model. #OpenSource

Unsurprisingly, the #InAppPurchases label is hidden for previously downloaded apps on the iPhone #AppStore too. A friend with Family Sharing enabled confirmed that apps shared from their family members' accounts also hid the IAP labels, even when my friend had never downloaded the app before.

I just noticed previously installed apps don't show the IAP label next to the download button. The app could have added IAPs since you first used it, but you'd wouldn't know unless you visited it page or used it. My sense is Apple knows IAP labels deters users, but why give old apps an advantage?

Blankie is launching today on #ProductHunt! For the last few weeks I’ve been excited to get the app into the hands of more and more people, and this is really the culmination of all of that. It would means a lot if you would go upvote it! #MacApps #BuildInPublic #OpenSource

Thank you Monster_cucumber 🥺🫶 #MacDev #BuildInPublic

First look at my next app, OhGee: the missing debug tool for testing web metadata, OpenGraph and schemas. It works with localhost/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0 URIs and has bookmarks, dark mode, the keyboard shortcuts you'd expect and a Safari extension. Coming to macOS this Summer. #MacApps #BuildInPublic

A really fun part about making an app is seeing it pop up all over the world. Thanks Appleちゃんねる! ✌️😍🎌

Yesterday, my app Blankie was featured on the Mac App Store homepage in the US. (And as of right now, it’s still there!) Naturally, impressions exploded, and downloads followed, but one thing surprised me: my conversion rate barely moved compared to the day before. #BuildInPublic

Blankie is only 21 GitHub stars short of being eligible to add to Homebrew. I’m so close! Bluesky friends, if you have a sec it would mean a lot if you could toss a star my way! #BuildInPublic #Swift

Does Bluesky let me share a 153,118 character link? Yes. www.google.com/search?q=In+...

It's easy if you try

Just for fun, here's the #AppleIntelligence summary. It didn't misstate any guidelines because it actually inserted them verbatim. And somehow, the summary ended up being 12 characters (3 words) longer. #AppleDeveloper #iOSDev

New App Review Guidelines just dropped. #AppleDeveloper #iOSDev 1/🧵

Tim is cooked.

People have been wondering when Tim Cook should retire. The answer is now. #Apple #EpicVsApple

Wild to hear people trash college now when I grew up with adults telling us we'd be nothing without it.

I don't know if @instagram.bsky.social meant for #Edits to be available on Mac via Catalyst, but I'm certainly here for it! Wish they'd bring Threads and Instagram to Mac too!

The funniest part about releasing #OpenSource software is that it ends up places you never intended or expected, and by design it’s allowed to! For example, #Blankie now has its own page on Softpedia and apparently so do I. #MacDev #BuildInPublic

My first-ever Mac app is now live on the #MacAppStore and it’s FREE!

Also, price increases won’t necessarily be limited to products that are subject to tariffs. This U Chicago study is crazy interesting: after Trump 1.0 did washing machine tariffs, researchers found that the price of dryers went up too, even tho they weren’t tariffed. pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/...

But even so, companies can do whatever they want! They can raise the price on goods they bought before the tariffs hit and just say it’s because of the new taxes. Other companies might try to offset increases so they don’t shock consumers.

A Senator spoke for 25 straight hours about the state of things and nary a story on the front page of our four largest national newspapers today.

This is an advertisement from the March 28, 1925 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. Literally 100 years ago. This calculator in 1925 would cost $3,585 in modern dollars.

Can someone who understands tarot please tell me what this means?

"Do you want me to go full Cronenberg" is something I never thought a robot would ask me. Or that I would say yes.

My experience having an EV and exclusively charging at public fast chargers as I don't have a way of charging at home. And I do so completely FREE since Ioniq 5's come with 2 years of free charging at all Electrify America stations. I go out of my way to charge there every time.

Strong & clear statement by @ametsoc.org: "Recent terminations within the government workforce for science are likely to cause irreparable harm & have far-reaching consequences for public safety, economic well-being, & United States' global leadership." www.ametsoc.org/ams/...

BREAKING: Probationary employees at NOAA and NWS are being terminated today, including mission critical roles. According to reporting from #OUNightly the layoffs will also affect the National Weather Center in Norman. #okwx #OklahomaBlueDot

Nothing grinds my gears like AI slop passed off as real work. If you’re gonna cheat, at least put in the effort to hide it. Absolutely no respect for the craft these days. 😏

On Saturday, my beloved #BromleyFC will once again face #AFCWimbledon and once again I must temporarily pause my parasocial relationship with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social. However, we’re always on the same team against TB. Preordering my copy of #EverythingIsTuberculosis from my local bookstore!

Dreamed last night Trump signed an executive order to destroy the magic crystals that allow merpeople to exist. If SCOTUS allowed it to stand, the enchantment would end and they would turn into fish. This was despite merpeople being one of USA’s oldest allies and many mer-mericans voting for him.

Bromley FC now offer match streaming outside the UK so I get to watch today’s match! #BromleyFC #WeAreBromley 🐦‍⬛

It’s been 8 years and I still miss my weekly D&D group but I am also so happy to be free of my weekly D&D group.

The AP being banned from White House events for word choice is crazy for many reasons, but most of all because the AP maintain *THE* style guide for journalists.

In 1996, my parents offered me $1 to beat Web Woods in Donkey Kong Country 2. My brothers and I had been stuck for days, convinced it was impossible. In true #ADHD fashion, 7-year-old me hyperfocused, crushed it, but lost interest afterward. Nearly 30 years later, I still haven’t beaten that game.

Dang. Can’t believe that’s the last SNL ever. Gonna miss it.

My app wx.watch will continue to say Gulf of Mexico
