Working toward that indie app creator life with my first app coming soon 🤞🏻. Here for UI design, indie apps, pupper photos, dad jokes, fantasy, sci-fi, and gadget nerdery. Original designer at 1Password from 2007 to 2025.

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. They want you to be apathetic. Don’t be. | Will Bunch

Salgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

Anyone have a favorite rounded sans-serif that has a bit of quirk to it? I like Kit Rounded quite a bit (in the screenshot) but it's licensing is not great for me. Preferably variable, with a chunky/bubbly bold/black weight, and a simpler licensing model for web and app use. Not too cartoonish.

Sample text of the Kit Rounded sans-serif typeface showing a thick weight with a quirky character to it added by tapered, sharpish curves on the insets.

A surprise gift showed up today that apparently my wife ordered for my birthday over two months ago! Love this little terrarium 💜 (the terrarium was the gift, not the disassembled iPhone)

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity. I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves. I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

"The report calls for hood height caps of 85 cm (33.5 inches), width limits of 192 cm (75.6 inches), taxes tied to vehicle dimensions, parking fees based on size, and regulatory incentives reserved for smaller EVs measuring less than 4.2 meters (165.4 inches) long."

today I discovered this incredible story of a minor league pitcher who is 6'4 wears glasses and a ginger beard who hurt his elbow and went to the doc for Tommy John surgery and was mistaken for a pitcher from a diff team who was also there for TJ surgery on same day anyway heres their pics and names

Two dudes who were formed from the same mould in consecutive batches at the factory and are somehow completely unrelated

They finally updated the Apple Pay UI, so you don't click the wrong button to change cards every, single, time! Not sure why they made the button look disabled; hopefully they fix that. You can also swipe between them.

Nothing like AI making up bodies for people based on their faces to show the biases in place around how people should look. Not dangerous at all for those with body dysmorphia or other mental health concerns around their bodies. /sarcasm 😞 #WWDC

Look and speak for Siri on visionOS is definitely a super handy way to work with it there. Of course, that's for the 3 people I know that have them, even amongst the very Apple-focused nerdy crowd I hang out with. #WWDC

Combining Siri and Spotlight has felt like the right answer for so long now, glad to see it's finally happening. Curious to see how well it works and feels in real-world use, and if it pulls me away from Raycast. #WWDC

This feels like such dangerous ground Apple is walking here with child surveillance under the guise of safety. So much potential for abuse and danger, particularly for LGBTQIA+ kids with unsafe home lives.

Doing a ton of accessibility work on my app, with a particular focus on VoiceOver navigation at the moment. I want to have something I can be incredibly proud of on release, and looking forward to doing some user testing for it all soon! If you’re interested in testing, please reach out!

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should
