Me: Just stick to the HIG, design is about saying No Also me:

Received a very kind Finalist teardown from @gruber.foo

Doing something crazy for December:

Turing Machine on Vongon Replay #dawless

I love that I get to work on stuff like this #synthsky condukt.app/condukt-gets...

Very cool to see our little midi.guide database we started years ago appear in its first hardware product 👀 (link to section: youtu.be/WOSiTzH8jE4?...)

Our summer grind gave us a nice surprise today: App of the Day 🤩 The app looks amazing in iOS 26, try it on your iPad blog.penbook.app/p/penbook-is...

Virtualizing my TRMNL

Making an interactive widget was pretty involved 😅

⏳ Downloading iOS 26 Beta 3...

Next, iOS 26...!

3.0 Release approved by Apple! 29 builds and many months of testing - thank you 466 testers 🫡

Finally got my Torso S-4 onto firmware 2.0, it wasn't in the mood to cooperate last week #synthsky

I wrote a bit about implementing Apple Intelligence transcription and summarization features in iOS 26 beta, pretty impressed www.finalist.works/ios-26-and-a...

I've been having a lot of fun with these new on-device models in iOS 26

The new version is so fun!

Finalist got a shout-out from @davidpierce.xyz Installer this weekend 😌

I just pushed the first iOS 26 beta of Finalist to TestFlight, fully embracing Liquid Glass reality.

Glass experiments on top and bottom bars #wwdc #wwdc25

Beat matching on Music app between songs is neat, I hear a high pass filter as well. That would have been a fun project to code

I think Apple wants our apps to start using the system app for Settings again, which is not that discoverable on iPhone

I have barely come up for air so far at WWDC, but if you haven't checked out our coverage on @macstories.net be sure to stop by. The team has put together a ton of great stories...

🚀

Questions about the new Apple design language including the new liquid glass material?! We got you covered and then some. Check out the #Design page on the Developer site. Comprehensive and detailed HIG pages? Oh yeah! Jaw-dropping design videos? Of course! developer.apple.com/design/ #WWDC25

Updating... 🥱 #wwdc

Had a fun time shark tanking (?) 16 great app ideas for #developthefuture - thanks Apple and CEC

The Monthly summary in the latest beta is inspired by Fabriano's wonderful Wallis wall calendars fabriano.com/en/product/w...

My latest attempt at taming ground noise, it never ends 😁

Thanks Wesley ☺️

It's almost time to level up #finalist3

kids these days... www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

7 weeks till 7/7 #Penbook7

Wtf ist das, Deutschland 🥲

We got one!

You learn something new every day... (via reddit)

They even printed the Lumon logo onto the PCB 👏 make3.co/work/woemeter

This is amazing 🙌

This looks pretty sweet inside Vision Pro, though glitchy at times as you teleport around (2.4 beta)

Just back from an intense multiday design workshop at Apple, will keep us busy for weeks 😅

Today I learned about this area called "MarTech" It refers to "software marketing teams use so they do not have to bug engineers to build stuff like send customized emails, track customers, optimize ads etc" It's a MASSIVE category, apparently. Thousands of companies and big $$

"I ditched the algorithm for RSS" Many people are moving back to using RSS instead of algorithms. They want control over what they read and feel overwhelmed by too much content online. Article | Discussion

Doing some user research!

Happy 2025 🎉

Amazing translatatation coming soon to smart glasses near you

Happy Holidays from Finalist! 🎄✨ I hope you’ve checked everything off your lists. 🎉

It was STOLEN from us though: 1. Auth is ridiculously complex (passkey? 2fa? OAUTH?). It's SO complex that even the biggest companies in the world can't make it work. Every service I use - CloudFlare, AWS, RevenueCat, App Store Connect - logs me out daily. Logging in is 3 or 4 SLOW screens.

This was a fun update to work on:
