I got into cocktails during COVID and ended up with a shelf full of bottles I didn't know what to do with. So I built an app for that. Today's the day! Spritz is available on the App Store. Bar inventory, recipe matching, and an AI mixologist. Cheers 🍸 #Cocktails apps.apple.com/us/app/spritz-...

Heading home from @deepdishswift.com having met some amazing people and heard some amazing talks. Have a lot of ideas to process on the drive home. Even though this is my first developer conference, I feel like this one's gonna be hard to top.

Happy Opening Day to those who celebrate #GoReds

Made this to do brackets with the kids. Big buttons with team logos and mascots and a print feature. Nothing fancy but could be handy for anyone wanting to fill out brackets with kiddos. #MarchMadness bracketbuddy.austinzani.dev/

Shrinking is so good. Has me laughing one second and then sobbing the next. So many great characters and amazing writing. #Shrinking

Songs with whistling always go so hard! I don’t know why they just do. https://austinzani.dev/music/share/47

I am so excited. Just pulled the trigger on a ticket for @deepdishswift.com! I am so excited to go hear all the talks and meet others that are passionate about developing for Apple platforms. Been wanting to go for years. Now just need to get my app I'm working on in the store by then!

“Ice cream conversations we all want the scoop” is one of the greatest lyrics of all time. https://austinzani.dev/music/share/46

Just came across this song that I haven’t heard in years. Pharrell really is the best! https://austinzani.dev/music/share/45

This is suddenly Anderson’s favorite song thanks to animal videos Cath shows him on TikTok lol. He wants it on vinyl for his birthday! https://austinzani.dev/music/share/44

Albums I listened to in high school having their 20th anniversary might be one of the first times I started feeling old. Anyone remember the website PureVolume? I listed to this Panic At The Disco in our high school library on that site #music music.apple.com/us/album/lyin...

A lot of quality memes today about Zac Taylor being the last coach standing in the AFC North. As a Bengals fan I just gotta choose to laugh and stay positive.

Excited coming into the new year about building software with all the AI tools at our fingertips but it can feel daunting to keep up. As a heavy Claude user I had heard a lot of people talking about how good Codex has gotten but had trouble breaking my mental model on how I interact with Claude.

#Cincinnati truly is a magical place. Where else can you get a beer inspired by chili?

I hate when companies print a label for a shipment and you get notified of it but they don't send it for several more days. It's an offense that should be punishable by death.

I pulled the trigger and ordered a #3Dprinter. So excited for it to come in a couple weeks. Doing research of what I want to print but any recommendations from others who have one already is appreciated. Looking for functional upgrades to our house or my office/standing desk but I'll take anything.

Desktop getting real festive thanks to Festivas and @simonbs.dev festivitas.app/

Finally shipped my first app to the App Store. Feels like yesterday I was working at the Apple Store when the App Store launched. The App Store has always been such a magical place to me. Feels cool to finally have something available there. Go download Tides now. apps.apple.com/us/app/tides-j... #i

Hit submit on my journing app Tides to the App Store. Hoping it doesn't hit any major snags through the approval process. So excited to finally see one of my apps in the store. #iOSdev

After the last two weeks how do you not fire someone #Bengals

Sports are so awesome but also so cruel. Feeling for Toronto after that epic game 7.

Made a special cocktail for listening to the new Taylor Swift with the wife tonight #TheLifeOfAShowgirl

I'm about to be very tired this week thanks to Cincinnati sports with Monday Night Football at 8PM and then Tuesday and Wednesday first pitch at 9PM for Reds vs Dodgers 😵‍💫🫠🥱😴 #CincinnatiSports

I can't get enough of this new Tame Impala single. If it's any indication of the album it's gonna be phenomenal! #TameImpala

Haven't posted much about it but been really enjoying working on my app for the @revenuecat.com #ShipATon. It is a cocktail recipe book that you can track your inventory and generate new recipes with AI from what you have in stock or let it surprise you.

If episode one is any indication this season of South Park is gonna be one for the ages. #HeTrumpedUs

John Stewart truly is the best.

My Fantastic Four

There's a scene in the new Superman shot at Union Terminal here in Cincinnati and when it came on screen the whole crowd cheer. That was a fun theater moment.

What a timeless album. Never fails to put me in a great mood.

Really enjoyed this article from @fatbobman.com about his experience with Claude Code

Putting the finishing touches on my app Tides and I am working on the App Store copy and screens. Are there any tools for making those App Store images easily? As someone that is not a designer a template I can put my copy and screenshots into would be huge. #iosdev #buildinpublic #swiftui

Spent some time doing some product planning for my #Shipaton app. Using Claude Code with some custom commands to put together a folder with JSON and Markdown files that I can use as guides for AI as I iterate through. Need to spend a little more time reviewing but on first pass it feels promising.

Excited about being able to participate in the RevenueCat Shipaton this year! I have my Journaling app that is basically ready to go to the App Store that I have been working on but I think I am gonna ship that in July and start on a new idea I have had for a while. #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

in awe of this extremely cool cat from 1995

Decided to put together my 10 off the top of my head. Nolan and Tarantino are my GOATS and Trent Reznor has never made a bad soundtrack.

If I had my way every person who utters the word "sportsball" would be completely ostracized and shunned from society

Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.

Hendrickson and Shamar sitting out of #Bengals mini camp

I never understood why anyone would use auto steer, auto accelerate, and auto use items on Mario Kart. Now I have a 4 year old and it's the best thing ever. I also just ordered some plastic wheels for the controllers. What have I become haha. #Switch2

I don't know how my heart rate hasn't woke callan up during this basketball game

Got the 10 year anniversary of To Pimp A Butterfly for my birthday which is a huge upgrade from the bootleg I have which has the tracks out of order. The order would bother me regardless but is even more important with this album. #NowSpinning

The TestFlight for my first app Tides, a journaling app for tracking the highs and lows of life, is finally available on TestFlight. Would love to get feedback from people if you wanna download it. #iosdev #buildinpublic #swiftui testflight.apple.com/join/FAjdCMsa

Just submitted my first build for my journaling app, Tides, for TestFlight. Curious to see how long it takes to get approved so I can have family and friends take a look. Or even better what they're gonna reject it for haha #iOSDev #Swiftui #buildinpublic

First Clipse album in 16 years comes out in July. First single dropped today.

Spent an hour messing with a system/light/dark mode setting from a Sheet in SwiftUI where the sheet wouldn't update back to system if it had to change between light and dark. I just gave up and made the settings in a NavigationView and it solved the problem. So fun. #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic #iosDev

wakanda for— as long as our three billion dollar stock buyback generates sufficient profit for shareholders

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.
