This is my favorite spot for coding. Right now uploading a lot of localized screenshots with ButterKit for Coca! 🍃 #indiedev

Sunday is a great time to watch Bad Boys, Indiana Jones and work on Passable 🤠

The new landing page for Coca just launched, Coca 2.0 is coming on 20th of April to the Mac AppStore! If you already want to stay permanently 🟢 in the messenger of your choice, try it out on TestFlight today. 🍃 testflight.apple.com/join/98NSbVYV

My current roadmap: - Release of Coca 2.0 for macOS (20th April) - Continue to grow Passable Beta - Set Launch Date for Passable - Release Passable! (Before WWDC!) - Release Eidetic 2.0 later this year - Release SBControl (under better name?) later this year

You feel like looking for easter eggs? Also like giving TestFlight Feedback? Thats amazing please go here: buff.ly/MGyk6G7

There is a movie related easter egg somewhere in the new Coca update. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A reason to celebrate for me, I obtained permission by the original creator of SBControl to shape it and put it in the AppStore if possible! 🎉 buff.ly/5dH1paU

It's official, I'm giving a talk at CocoaHeads Bremen! On the 21st of April in Bremen. Pop by if you are in the area. We are hosting at Tabakquartier my employer Dataport's office! I will talk about "Multiplatform Apple Apps in the Age of Agentic Coding"

Here is the landing page for Coca 2.0 with the Deep Awake* feature and a redesigned settings area. It will release on the 20th of April. 🍃 #macdev #indiedev coca.cammalleri.dev *Keeps you green in your messengers like Teams, Slack etc.

Coca 2.0 will release on the 20th of April! I'm stoked and will make sure to bring it up a bunch more. 🍃 If you want to try any of the features mentioned, be my guest on TestFlight for macOS: buff.ly/MGyk6G7 Coca released over 10 years ago and is still here for more!

Coca 2.0 is shaping up for release! Here a bit of what changed: - New interface - Custom time interval (highly requested) - Deep Awake: Keeps other apps green 🟢 - Focus Filter: Turn Coca on with your work shift - Shortcuts Automations: Create Shortcuts that use Coca

Just contacted the original maintainer of SBControl. Let's see how this thing will progress from here on out. ✌️😤💨

So just to be clear, what I added in SBControl 2.0 is the Venty support and the new UI, the app is based on open source code that worked as a great base.

So how did creating my own native bluetooth app for a gadget go? Pretty decent, presenting to you SBControl 2.0 a third party control for Storz and Bickel gear! - Volcano, Venty & Crafty - Supports iOS and macOS - Status Item and Live Activity support - Open Source Software

POV when your girlfriend created the perfect bread 😃

In order to prep for my talk at CocoaHeads Bremen in April, I expanded the BLE browser with an inspector. Which now I use to map the device functions into a native app. The device in question is a S&B Venty, one of my personal medical inhalers. More on the results soon.

With Coca - Deep Awake, your Mac stays green in Slack and Teams 🤝 while you’re uhm... at your desk… testing the latest build on a real iPhone of course!📱Thats the Deep Awake feature, hope you like it: buff.ly/MGyk6G7 #iosdev #macdev

My BLE browser side side project is basically confirmed to work with exactly my device now 😂 More serious: - Device Search UI works - Select works - Device Values and Services Works! What next? A info pane would make this a useful tool to build native apps for BLE devices.

The open source code this was based on is a great start base for iOS, I added macOS and fixed some issues with my specific BLE devices so far. You can find it here buff.ly/1uSbWhy which itself is partly based on buff.ly/K5AZiXm itself.

Because some people were confused as to what I'm working on and why: - Safari has no Bluetooth API - You can patch BLE into WebKit though - Prototype does it for iOS/macOS (using open source components) - I use it to understand my inhaler - Could be pixel buds too for example

For fun I was playing on Sunday with an open source BLE codebase and now I can connect to my medical inhalers config website from macOS! Next will be to properly support reading the updated values and services of it (showing 88 everywhere)

As off yesterday we support the remote deletion of Apple Wallet cards created in Passable! A feature used by airlines and such for gate changes, in your hand to control your data. 🎟️ Additionally remote updates make sure passes are always up to date from now on!

After teasing the new quick edit over the weekend I wanted to share it again, a little more fleshed out. ✂️ This is going to be part of Eidetic's new quick edit feature! It is a screenshot and clip creator most useful to post online clips and screenshots. Like Coca 10+ years!

What are remote updates good for in a wallet pass? Well first of all you can remotely delete it, which brings you into control of your data. Secondly you can update a phone number or change typos and so forth! 🎟️

We have remote wallet card updates ✨🚀

This is what it looks like in practice, to record a video clip with Eidetic. Enjoy a clip recorded from Passable for Mac. So Eidetic will close an important gap in my tooling from now on creating social clips! ☺️

So yesterday I did work on three updates, one for Passable, one for Coca and brand new: Eidetic my screenshot app for Mac, it can take video and gif recordings now and offer a quick edit option before saving. All my apps have TelemtryDeck and RevenueCat support since yesterday.

The card you drag stays on top now! It is really important for Passable, a required feature. 😎

I'm excited, my employer Dataport AöR is hosting the location for CocoaHeads Bremen in April! I will also give a talk. More on this soon. ✌️

Like every developer I love just iterating on a product, but it is obvious one needs to also spend time on marketing. Therefore next up is the creation of another landing page. This time for Coca 2.0. 🍃

People said my empty view was too empty, is it still true? #indiedev #macdev

Accessibility Labels motivate me to collect more of them. That is my next goal! For Passable: - Reduce Motion - Dynamic Type - Voice Over - Dark Mode Those are the Initial accessibility features I tend to support. I learned you can retrofit dynamic type to a macOS app too. 🤔

Floor time!

Todays lunch cat! #catsofbluesky

Ready for before and after shots? things are moving for Passable, if you want to check it out at Passable.app and test it on your device drop by. 🎟️ Paperless contact cards, with wallet support.

If I bring skeumorphism back with the paper material, why not cover flow too? #indiedev #macdev #iosdev

I loved the "Better than accessible" episode of Swift by Sundell, featuring Sommer Panage. She said: "I always joke that Auto Layout is actually an accessibility feature." It inspired me to revisit the history of adaptive iOS apps (with a focus on #accessibility )—a thread:

Will this motivate people to create a first pass? #indiedev #mac #ios

Coca 2.0 with idle status prevention, coming soon. 🟢🍃

You can add a prefill contact now, so each new pass you create will be already with your basic information. #buldinginpublic

The settings area is coming along well for passable.app 🎫 #indiedev

Tonight I pushed out both, an update for Passable and one for Coca 🍃 Let's go! #macdev #iosdev

Found a good use for the @arcticconference.bsky.social conference swag, it can inspire me on work trips ✌️

I'm going to drive to Kiel to be in the office tomorrow, it has been in forever for two reasons: One time my car needed repairs and the other I needed to go see an iOS Conference in Finnland ❄️ Let's see the traffic at this time!

Supposedly I'm testing the app enough lately. My TestFlight sessions.

RetroRapid will support Dynamic Type in the next release. On a retro arcade game? Why not?! I'm having so much fun finding ways to make this as accessible as possible.

Live testing the upcoming location feature for passable.app! Have your pass ready where you need it. 👨🏻‍💻☕️

The accessibility font selection in Passable, easy and to the point. Everyone should be able to build paperfree contact cards! #buildinginpublic #accessibility #a11y

Coca 2.0 is coming along well and it's new feature Deep Awake, is already working. Only when you are idle, it moves your mouse ever so slightly. You probably can't even see it doing that. Other apps see it though, their reaction is: 🟢! If you know what that means. 😏 #mac #macdev #indiedev

Fixed a problem with the TestFlight beta for Passable - so if you tried adding Passable to your TestFlight and had problems earlier, please try again at passable.app! #mac #ios
