I’m an Apple Platforms developer, with a deep love for photography, based in Lisbon Portugal.

I work on Itsrable’s iOS SDK by day and build @glass.photo apps by night. (I take photos in between)

You can reach me (almost) everywhere!

Idk who needs to hear this but: remove your phone’s case.

Now hold it and use it like that for 5 mins and let the beauty in its design become apparent.

I’m building an app for managing frozen breast milk storage.

It’s called MilkLogix and it’s a simple, private, and smart way of organizing milk packets in the freezer.

I’m in the process of submitting a new app to the AppStore (personal account) and it’s been a minute since I had to deal with App Store Connect.

With @glass.photo we use @helm-app.bsky.social to manage all submissions.

Wish Helm supported personal accounts…

Am I the only one who stops watching a movie right at the beginning when they realize it's based off a novel? And go read the novel first instead?

I saw that The Amateur was available on Disney+ and that it was based off a Robert Littell novel with the same title.

I’m considering switching from Lightroom to Photomator.

My workflow has photo editing on the iPhone and iPad (occasionally), and the Mac.

From time to time I have large collections to edit (photoshoots/events).

I value syncing accross the 3 devices.

Has anyone made the switch?

This has to be the most wholesome podium at #Silverstone with Lando first win and Nico first podium.

I’m not crying. It’s the champagne.

New monthly category alert: 🎆 Fireworks

Whether it’s the sparkle of a backyard sparkler or a sky full of color on a summer night, fireworks are a challenge worth chasing.

Over the weekend I tried to solve a first world problem:
The hurdle of opening Cursor's Dashboard to check how many tokens I've spent.

So I used Cursor to help me build a small menu bar app that shows that information 🎉

This week’s Spotlight features Jenn, a black and white photographer whose landscapes are as thoughtful as they are beautiful. Bold, patient, and quietly powerful. Don’t miss it.

I get that #TheBrowserCompany had to pivot to @diabrowser.com since it has AI much more baked into the product.

I can't still understand why it couldn't have been an addition to the current Arc. Why can't the capabilities of Dia be baked into a right side panel in Arc?

Stretchy headers are a common pattern in iOS apps where the image expands as the user pulls down. We can create this effect in SwiftUI using the visualEffect() modifier without changing the image frame. I've just published a post about it: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Stretch...

Just updated my iPad to #ios26 to do damage assessment on @glass.photo and the *only* broken thing is the new support for the windowed mode.

Not bad!

Tomorrow will build with the beta Xcode and targeting iOS 26.
