Pocket Bird officially has over 500 chrome users! Thanks to everyone that has chosen to let a tiny bird loose while they browse the web! #opensource #desktoppet #pocketbird #birds

I’ve just started playing Pokémon Legends ZA and I’ve already accidentally encountered two shiny magikarp flopping about??

I'm just saying, if you're trying to leave Discord for PictoChat or whatever, I've got an open-source recreation for mobile right here...

Remember pulling out your Nintendo DS on the bus and messaging your friends over PictoChat? To bring that feeling back, I made "PicoChat" for iMessage! It's free and open-source (of course), so give it a try and let me know what you think! apps.apple.com/us/app/picoc...

I've made an open-source program that updates your Bluesky display name with the current moon phase! github.com/IdreesInc/Bl... #opensource #bluesky

Added more bottles to acmail.idreesinc.com and finally fixed the issue where line breaks weren't being saved! Also added this pretty social media card formatting. Wish I could figure out a way to generate a preview image of the specific card for the tag, but I don't think that's possible?

I made a script that posts a daily "message in a bottle" shared through my Animal Crossing Letter Generator, check it out!

Pocket Bird now comes with cute hats! Find a dozen hand made pixel art hats scattered across webpages to give your pet a new look: idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird/... #opensource #indiedev

Oh shoot, I did not realize the Animal Crossing music on the Nintendo Music app could automatically sync to the time, that’s so cool!

happy to say rowbot rally's been nominated for a #playdate community award!!! thank you to everybody who's played and enjoyed it over the last year. (fun bit of ~relevant trivia: it's currently sitting at precisely 1,111 copies sold. wish come true, ig!)

Now that I’ve moved to a walkable city, I can finally work towards that 10 million steps!

Quickly coded up a lambda to post a random daily message in a bottle from acmail.idreesinc.com in my discord! It's a bit clunky as it simulates a whole browser just to use the "Save Letter" functionality, but it only runs once a day so who cares.

A drive across the country along with two guinea pigs that were having none of it

Reminder to my new followers that I’ve got a cool little discord where you can follow along with all of my projects and help me beta test things! #opensource discord.gg/6yxE9prcNc

Doing market research for Pocket Bird

These are all of the hats I designed for the newest update! I'm no good at pixel art, but I think they're pretty adorable 🎩

Updated TestFlight build of the Apple Watch Pokétch for coming! Just gotta download like 20GB of Xcode components first 😵‍💫

With the Animal Crossing New Horizons update out today, wanted to remind y'all of one of my favorite projects! Send letters to your friends or share them with the world, with pixel-perfect designs straight from the game! #animalcrossing #animalcrossingnewhorizons #acnh

Hat.

Alright nerds, I’m adding a few new birds to Pocket Bird along with some other features. Besides the chickadee which I’m already adding, anyone have any ideas?

Heads up, the Indie Tech Feed and Rick Roll Bluesky feeds will be down for the next few weeks as I move cross country, apologies for the downtime!

People have shared some truly wonderful anonymous letters through the animal crossing letter editor at acmail.idreesinc.com Here are just a few examples that I loved

I had given up on marketing Mutable and decided to just continue using it for myself, but after looking at it again it turns out that it has over 1000 active users! Please give it a look if you haven't already, we could all do with seeing a little less terrible stuff online: mutable.idreesinc.com

This is not a drill, they might be adding baby chicks to Minecraft:

I saw Monocraft in this video by @docjade.com, so you know it's gonna be good www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTPB...

I've added the limited edition winter holiday cards to acmail.idreesinc.com, get em while they're hot! Or cold I suppose...

Pocket Bird has been updated on Chrome and Firefox to include new colorful sticky notes! Get the update here: idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird

Happy New Year nerds! Hope you all have a wonderful 2026, and I can’t wait to show you all of the fun projects I’ve got planned for this year!

Pocket Bird is now available for Chrome and Firefox! Adopt a tiny bird for your browser that hops around your webpages and flies atop images. Collect falling feathers to unlock more birds and rub your cursor over its head to give it a pet! Get it here: idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird #opensource #pet

Use any cartridge as a desktop wallpaper directly from splore, coming soon in #picotron 0.2.2

This is so frickin cute. A browser extension that adds a little pettable bird to your web browsing. I love the whimsy. idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird

While the Lou team and I are busy bringing Lou's Lagoon over the finishing line, the Verdant Team at @tinyroargames.bsky.social has been working in secret on something pretty amazing 🌱 Please wishlist Verdant on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4162340/... #gamedev #indiegame #reveal

It's a shame that the trend of adding easter eggs to software seems to have fizzled out a lot in the last decade. I understand that it makes testing a bit harder, but damn if I don't miss them.

Monocraft has been updated with font hints! That means that rendering should be a lot clearer on Windows/Linux, especially at lower resolutions. I've also fixed the NerdFonts build and included more icons, as well as added TODO and NOTE ligatures! Get it here: github.com/IdreesInc/Mo... #opensource

Just a reminder that typing “unown” into my PicoChat iMessage app might reveal an easter egg…

God bless unit tests, I truly don't think I'd be able to work on any of my personal projects without them. Being able to come back to a project after 6 months and know that your changes aren't breaking anything is such a relief lol

Waypoint for @obsidian.md has been updated! Mostly bug fixes and PR merges, though I've also added a couple features like base detection and dynamic comment opacity: github.com/IdreesInc/Wa...

Kids, never procrastinate reviewing PRs, cause those merge conflicts add up... #opensource

Reminder, this Friday all my open source code is available at a 50% discount!

Unfortunately, it looks like VS Code locks down the UI pretty tight and it isn't possible for me to port Pocket Bird to it without directly patching the Electron app. On the other hand, you can now add Pocket Bird to your own websites with an embed script! github.com/IdreesInc/Po... #opensource

I've decided that Pocket Bird's sticky notes weren't colourful enough so time to fix that!

Currently testing adding Pocket Bird to @obsidian.md and a glitch made WAY TOO MANY BIRDS

11/10 recommend, my bird is an adorable writing buddy
