Okay Bluesky might actually have legs? I don’t remember how to tweet but maybe I’ll start trying again.

I make an app called Up Ahead. It’s been called “the best countdown app, hands down” and “why this is subscrimption??? 1 star”. I’d love for you to check it out.

Nearly half of the Deep Dish Swift 2025 tickets have been sold and we haven’t even announced any speakers yet 🤯

The excitement you all have for this year’s event is so heartwarming🥰

But also… who wants some speaker announcements next week? 👀

@ryanashcraft.com extremely minor bug report: on this screen, after switching weight and height units from metric to imperial (Canadians have no idea what their weight or height is in metric), it’s still showing a cm measurement in the height field!

"Would would Apple do" - was my naive initial approach to design on my upcoming app project. But there's a better way, that's more exciting both for the developer and the user!

I wrote up some thoughts on the Selkie blog...

I’m a strong believer in spending too much time on useless features nobody asked for. That’s why, if you scroll past the bottom of the event creation screen in Up Ahead, you get a happy little daily quote from a kids book.
