🫧 2x Apple Design Award cube carrier for @BlackboxPuzzles.bsky.social on VisionOS and iOS. Also making candy, foraging plants, running, idk. All opinions are endorsements.
I had this idea in bed for glass pins that blob to condense down and get out of the way. So fun to go from idea in bed to concept like this so quickly
If you make iOS apps and aren't using @helm-app.bsky.social at this point what are you doing?? Uploading new screenshots? ASC: Ugly, slow, confusing, randomizes the order for fun Helm: Drop every screenshot all at once and it sorts and places them in the right sections like a coin sorterScree
I was born too late and never got to design a physical box for my software, so I did a fake one for the “What's new" window in Hand Mirror. This update is almost ready, if you like to make videos or write about this stuff get in touch!
Hand Mirror 4 is out now, you can take a Snap, draw on it, and save it to your Photo Library 📸 Here's some of my favorite UI details:
As a kid, whenever we went to the Apple Store I always ran to the back to play the demo games on the iMacs. Now many years later, in an absolutely crazy, full-circle, bucket-list moment, my own game is one of those demo games on thousands of iPads in hundreds of Apple Stores around the world.
Our train stations got a dark mode update 🥲 just in time for daylight savings

I wish everyone who's paid a quarter million dollars a year to work on WhatsApp a very unpleasant existence.
The year is 2025 Your new rice cooker is powered by “AI” Somehow, this seems fine
That feeling of dread sharing your screen is 100x when you share from your Vision Pro of your actual desktop
Remembering when an art collective installed a giant knitted pink bunny on a mountain in Italy so that people could wander over its surface as it slowly decayed 🎨: Gelitin, "Hase / Rabbit / Coniglio", Artesina, Piemont, Italy (2005)
SwiftUI is incredible. I don't know what I would do without the spontaneous, pedantic, utterly indecipherable error messages, useless autocompletion, and daily opportunities to scream ☺️
Absolutely love this app calling out the Screen Time API which just crashed and has seemingly been neglected and abandoned by Apple for years now.
Did Internet comments get funnier or are we just getting better at surfacing the good stuff?

🫨I took a brief break from working on visionOS with @robertlong.me to make something brand new: Newji! Stop waiting for the Unicode Consortium to make your labradoodle puppy eating cherry pie an emoji and just do it yourself already!!! apps.apple.com/us/app/newji...

Does anyone have the lowdown on why paprika / bell pepper is such a popular chip flavor in Europe and not the US?

Back in my day you’d still watch the AI type out the reply in real time!
