@ekurutepe.com Looking at apartments and Solar Watch’s AR mode with the calendar control is aces. Managed to prove to S that one place wouldn’t get a single beam of natural light in the depths of winter 😆

I just saw this on my @revenuecat.com dashboard and had to laugh. Please somebody tell Cody that I already joined.

Starting on Monday, working on improving developer experience.

I'm super excited to join this great team and looking forward to learn from the nice folks there.

Last year, a bad knee injury set me back hard—my VO2max dropped to 33. After a long recovery, I’ve built it back up to 40 this year. Goal for 2025: 47.

When over 40, avoiding injury is the real goal. Performance is great, but staying in the game matters most.

I agree this is the best solution. I went ahead and added it.

For SolarWatch, I used to write my crashes myself, then rewrote the app in SwiftUI, now all the crashes are written by Apple. 🥁

Which one do you prefer?

guard !alarms.isEmpty else { return }

guard alarms.isEmpty == false else { return }

Preparing a solstice event for @solarwatch.app with custom app icons. Do I need to prepare a localized version for the ~3% of users in the south hemisphere?

A/B testing out new App Store screenshots layout. Any guesses which one will be better?

In Summer 2021, I put a pinhole solar camera on the tower of St John's college in Cambridge, UK to image the Sun's path. This was the result!

Each separate arc is a day, and over time you slowly reveal the pattern that the Sun follows over the course of a year 🌞🔭🧪

Experimenting with a super low monthly price as opposed to a big yearly discount. I wonder if this will convert better…

I'm still amazed that a prompt like this works in Cursor and delivers very usable code:

add new routes for authentication under api/v1. it should use supabase as authentication provider and support sign in with apple flow
