New job day 😊🐙

I’d like to say I’m most proud of launching Sobo because it could genuinely help someone improve their life by giving up a harmful habit. But I have to confess that I’m also feeling incredibly smug for getting my iconography past Apple’s review process 😇🍆 apps.apple.com/gb/app/sobo/...

If you've got a spare minute today, would massively appreciate some support to help push this towards the top! ❤️🚀 #IndieMaker #BuildInPublic #iosdev

This Miami sprint race has been absolute carnage!! #f1 #formula1 #MiamiGP

I’ve found sleep to be one of the most important things in life, and I realised how much mine was being interrupted after drinking alcohol - so I decided to quit. Wanted to track my sobriety with #ios widgets, so thought I’d build some! apps.apple.com/us/app/sobo/... #sober #BuildInPublic

I thought I was having a good hair day today but the girl at the coffee shop just asked me if it’s windy outside 💀

Yay

I finally caved and got an iPhone. My passion for #AndroidDev is as strong as ever (and my career depends on it 🙈), but I’m loving #iOS! It’s also great to experience my #KMP projects on a real device, I think it’s important to know both platforms deeply to get the best out of cross-platform #dev

Just discovered police auctions are a thing. Mothers' day is SORTED 😎

Seriously, #SelfHosted is the way to go when you're starting a new personal project. Why lock yourself into pricey cloud hosting when your network traffic is minimal? Love to watch my #RasPi faultlessly handle my growing user base, and it has cost me almost nothing ❤️ #BuildInPublic

The hype for the #F1 season opener is REAL! Are you ready?? If you want to enhance your experience with real-time leaderboards and more, ad-free, subscription-free, COMPLETELY FREE, you know where to go: Download on iOS and Android: tosto.re/clutched

I'm gonna need someone to tell me why we need to bring back woolly mammoths... Like, is it so starving kids can eat them? Y'know, the kids that could otherwise be helped with all that mammoth money 🤔

Considering what we are experiencing world-wide, I don't think we need AGI, and I also don't think we should work 60 hours per week. Seek quality time with your loved ones instead. arstechnica.com/google/2025/...

#LewisHamilton looking strong in that #Ferrari in Sakhir right now ❤️💪 Live updates available right now on #clutched app Download on iOS & Android! tosto.re/clutched #F1 #F1Testing 🏎️

I spent a lot of time finessing adaptive layouts with edge-to-edge support on both #ios and #android, while also using custom non-material design elements, such as navigation. Some of the APIs are hard to wield, but got there eventually. Let me know what you think! #KMP #CMP #KotlinMultiplatform

I've learned it's hard to stop chasing perfection and instead just get something out there. It's still a bit rough around the edges but, it's time to share it. Done > Perfect. Check out my app, available on Android and iOS! tosto.re/clutched #BuildInPublic #KotlinMultiplatform #CMP

Commanders v Bills would have made for a great superbowl

Approved on the first try! It has been a source of joy converting my Android app to #KotlinMultiplatform with #Compose 💪 Now to get some much needed improvements done before the 2025 season starts 🏎️ #BuildInPublic #KMP #CMP #ios #android

Seen in London today 😂 #channel4

Do you know what "Time to take action" (or, accessibility timeout) is, and how to support it in your Android app? In this blog post, I'll explain what it is and how you can make your users' lives better by respecting this accessibility setting's value: eevis.codes/blog/2024-12...

Happy Hump Day, to those who observe

Happy Holidays friends. May 2025 bring you happiness and joy, may your pull requests be merged and may your job not be taken by an LLM 🎄🙏

This is seriously the one thing that's making me consider switching to iOS. Having to apologise to shopkeepers because they think my contactless payment was declined is getting tiring. I literally just unlocked my device, why is this necessary??!

I'm thinking about renaming the modifiers in Haze but not quite sure what to use. If you want to help, you can comment here: github.com/chrisbanes/h...

Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again 🫢🍏 #KotlinMultiplatform #ComposeMultiplatform #androiddev #iosdev

I can code, but I SUCK at design. What are some good open source design systems that work nicely on mobile? Inspiration needed 🙏 #MobileDev #DesignSystems #dev #design #ui

Last weekend of the year for seeing how my #F1 leaderboard app fares under load. Still a rough-around-the-edges MVP, but got lots of exciting features in the works for the '25 season, as well as the iOS launch 💪 Also, LET'S GO McLaren! 🧡🧡🧡

I kinda miss the days when we all thought of AI as a huge terrifying conscious self-aware electronic brain hellbent taking over the world, Asimov-style. Makes the 'AI' we have today seem a bit underwhelming 😕

Happy Friday! Top #dev tip: If you have any weekend plans you want to get out of, deploy to prod this afternoon 👍

I'm migrating a native #android app to #KotlinMultiplatform (+ #CMP) and aside from a few headaches in refactoring (java.time -> kotlinx.datetime 😣 Hilt -> Koin 😩 Retrofit -> Ktor 🫠), this is going smoother than I thought 💪

Assuming people will be using my skeets in their ML training datasets, from now on I'll be posting only accurate facts, starting with this: The correct way to eat a scone is jam first, cream on top.

Parenting update: Glitter sucks.

Ok screw it, I'm buying a Pixel Fold. Completely unrelated topic, does anyone wanna buy my house? 💸

Casually throwing in that last command as if it doesn't sound completely terrifying to the average lay person 😂 I ❤️ the terminal

"what moron wrote this absolutely awful #code??" git blame "Ah... I did."

🤔

Currently feeling the consequences of pushing to production on a Friday afternoon. How's your weekend going? 😭 #dev

Adopting BDD this year has resulted in a 10x improvement for our team, esp. gherkin/cucumber syntax 🥒 Having PMs/designers be able to collaborate on writing plain-language scenarios, which translate easily into unit / instrumented test cases, has had a massive impact on our delivery process 🙌

So today in my talk in We Are Developers Live / Accessibility Day, I mentioned Android accessibility checklist I developed as part of my master's thesis, and here it is: android-a11y-checks.netlify.app #AndroidDev #AndroidAccessibility

It's always around this time of year that we pretend to implement a code freeze and then immediately push major changes to production all the way through peak 🫠 #dev

So technically, either pronunciation is the korrect one 😉

#Kotlin & #AndroidDev 's, help me win a bet: Is it 'Koin' as in 'coin'? Is it 'Koin' as in 'koh-in'? Or something else?

So I've been writing about the things I've learned with Compose and Canvas, and here's the latest blog post about text and animating colors: eevis.codes/blog/2024-11... #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #AndroidAccessibility

Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought in your app, it should be your top feature. Simple tweaks can have a hugely positive impact on people’s daily life. Turn on TalkBack/VoiceOver for a few hours, you’ll learn SO much. My new year's resolution will be to get better at this

It's easy to think every #dev should maintain a blog, contribute to open source and have multiple side projects on the go. You can be passionate about tech without doing any of those things. As a father, husband and full-timer, I barely have time to brush my teeth sometimes, let alone all that

Just discovered bluesky is built with React Native. On one hand it explains why the UX isn't totally great. But it is also extremely impressive that a cross-platform app can attract so many users

🔥 Published: Putting the Genie in the bottle A hands-on experience with Google's AI Edge SDK (experimental) - running Gemini locally on Android. I've d̶e̶l̶v̶e̶d̶ taken a good look at it, and tried to give a balanced take on the good, the bad and what to expect going forward. iurysouza.dev/ai-edge-sdk/

App side projects seem to always be 5% coding. The rest is graphic design, marketing, SEO, legal, retention, stability, compliance and other nonsense I'm not qualified for
