The lesson: if you wanted a 50% chance of making the World Cup Final, you should have set up a team home base in KC.
Mike@mikedkuhn.bsky.social · 4w agoSo 1 of Argentina and England will make the final. Meaning 1 team that had their base in KC will make the final.
The matches today have been incredible. I want this knockout stage to last forever. #worldcup
Well, after months of work What's My Set is finally out today. It's the workout app I always wanted and I honestly love using it. I hope some other people do as well! apps.apple.com/us/app/whats...
Here’s the complete setlist for SWIFTSONIC 2026 👇 Put your hands together for your opener and headliner speakers!
The New Zealand/Belgium/Egypt/Iran group games were so wild and dramatic tonight, especially at the end. What a roller coaster for pretty much every team's supporters. #worldcup
Apple Sports needs a "give me Live Activities for every game in a competition" setting. Until then, I'm a fan of literally every team.
My phone is either lucky or faulty. I updated to iOS 27 on Wednesday and had new Siri from day one (I'm assuming my Mac or iPad waitlisting carried over on my Apple ID), but I've never seen the indexing UI in Settings. #blessed
KC area friends (or those who can get to KC): We're selling our Algeria/Austria World Cup tickets for June 27. Let me know if you're interested and we'll both save on fees! #worldcup
I made a new app (first time in 3 years) and it would REALLY help me if you pre-ordered it (for free). What's My Set is a simple, accessibility set counter for workouts with accessibility as a priority. The handy rest/interval timers bump the set counter for you. apps.apple.com/us/app/whats...

Super weird WWDC week for me (I'll be on a whirlwind trip for the day job in Austin instead of in Cupertino), but my biggest wishes are more hooks into the system, developer tooling improvements that play nice with agents, and general user-side improvements for normies.
Are you ready for the next iteration of Deep Dish Swift? DDS 2027 is going back in time (again). Back to 8-bit games and MIDI sounds. Back to when a handful of tokens meant a full day of fun. Join us April 4-6, 2027! 🎟️ Early Bird tickets available now at deepdishswift.com
And just like that, more than 50,000 users are seeing Guild Ad banners every week.
@benricem.bsky.social Indigo feature request! (Or maybe something that's possible that I haven't figured out yet…) Any plans for adding secondary accounts so I can post from Sticky Widgets account pairs (Mastodon + Bluesky) and Guild Ads account pairs, without a manual logout/login?
In case you missed it (or even if you didn't), I made Guild Ads even easier to implement by having robots do it. You can go from not having an account to shipping a publisher app or placing an ad all from your agent of choice.

I made a new thing! In-app ads are weird, ugly, and might pay you a few pennies, but you won't feel good about it. So I tried to fix that. www.tylerhillsman.com/guild-ads
