Me, at the campsite, trying to get back in touch with nature: “I wonder what the refresh rate on that fire is”

The very annoying thing about my app Cannot Ignore is that when I'm prepping for a release, I have to make a ton of alarms and wait for them to fire. Real life testing is necessary, but, as it were, annoying. apps.apple.com/us/app/canno... #iOSDev #indiedev #buildinpublic

Me: oh sweet, a subscriber renewed their subscription for my app! Apple email: here is your receipt for your subscription to your app

Worked a bit on Cannot Ignore this weekend - my app where you can automatically get full alarms synced with your calendar or reminders - so that you can choose what metadata you see on the home screen list. Pretty handy. Update coming soon!

I've heard the axiom that any technology, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic. I wonder if a corollary is true: any magic, sufficiently plain, is indistinguishable from nature.

This is one of my favorite parts of the Internet right now: text.blogosphere.app Almost every link is a thoughtful treasure.

Working on a fun little game. #indiegame #indiedev Except for the initial mystery setup and characters, the chatting is all done with Apple Foundation models.

This is great. Got OpenClaw to post this AND it successfully added the alt text. Sent it the text to post and gave it the image and alt text via iMessage and it did the rest

This is fun: working on image-to-3D in addition to text-to-3D. With Image Playground for devices that support it. In Sapling, our LIDAR 3D scanner that also has GenAI.

Among the terrors of programming with AI is that it feels like you have the power to do anything, and therefore, you must do everything. A danger of exponential FOMO, and burnout.

I've got my post about a one dollar app that syncs your Calendar events and Reminders with full alarms if you don't mind throwing in an upvote! www.reddit.com/r/apple/comm... #iOSDev #indiedev

Oooo, the laser fusion folks getting resources to do good work! finance.yahoo.com/news/inertia...

Alright, I had almost sold this off, this M1 MacBook Mini. But now it’s time to try out the OpenClaw hype and see how it goes

Really cool to work with so many people to get this tool out! We've got it nicely optimized for AI workflows too, for all you folks supercharging with agents and what not. www.linkedin.com/posts/sophel...

I have oft wondered: what is this Black Forest? And why is it full of ham? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_F...

HNY everyone. Maybe this is the year I finally open my restaurant with no unnatural ingredients. AND no natural ingredients. Only supernatural ingredients.

A year ago I set an ambitious goal: Publish on Step Into Vision every day of 2025. Today I reached that goal! It has been an enormous amount of work, but it has been worth every second. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I know there is a lot of work ahead. 2026 is going to be awesome!

This was the second of three big updates. The first was paying for and carefully optimizing an actual artist's 3D model for the AVP :)

Pretty awesome to have Cannot Ignore (my app to automatically sync full alarms to calendar events and reminders) reach #5 for paid utilities (#33 in all paid apps). I think that’s the first time I’ve charted that high. Back down to #11 now apps.apple.com/us/app/canno... #indiedev #iOS

A long time ago I setup my sideproject app portfolio and blog on Squarespace. After about 10 years, I've finally migrated away (and saved $270 per year in the process). I've got the full how-to here: www.cephalopod.studio/blog/migrati... #indiedev #iOSDev

If I’m reading the room right, the best gift for a music lover is a vinyl recording of several AI generated songs.

They should remove EyeSight from the Vision Pro and put a Touch Bar there.

Y’all, this is rad. We got the Apple open source sharp program running. And I added splat support to my 3D scanner Sapling (in development)! This was made from inference on just one image! Run on my Mac Pro locally. This is Abe, lols

The quality is insane!

The great thing about AI coding is how productive it makes me feel. I'm actually maybe 30-40% more productive, but it makes me feel 30x more productive when it's generating a giant re-architecture that I will then spend the rest of the week debugging and fixing.
