I make apps I guess.
I also spent this year building a few prototypes and throwing them away. This one took my little card app and added a full canvas and generative AI features. Putting aside my personal mixed feelings about AI, it was an interesting concept of building new stuff from your notes. Still mixed feelings.

POV you're making a super high fidelity pixel art engine but you still have to learn GPU coding too.

like what do you mean everything is a triangle.

I built a pixel simulation engine called Kernel like the corn seed 🌽 I should now be able to paint with pixel art but at like the fidelity of real paint where you can see the texture of the pigment move around the water as it dries. Here's a stroke rendered with emojis in the terminal.

What are we using for styling in react these days? Still using CSS modules? Linaria? Vanilla?

Researching for a new essay on widgets, spatial UI, and generative UI and I stumbled upon Andy Hertzfeld's essay on desk ornaments from 1981 around when the Macintosh launched. There's so much gold in there. UI evolves as a continuum and not as a series of disconnected fads.

I’m looking for a simple, headless CMS for a minimal blog. I prefer a clean, visually appealing interface and would rather avoid self-hosting solutions. Any recommendations? #webdevelopment

Notion Calendar isn't that good? I mean it's fine. It does exactly what it needs to do but syncing between Notion and the calendar isn't that easy or as seamless I would expect it to be coming from Notion.

The world changes so much but 1-1 connections still feel good.

It’s so funny seeing people write eulogies about Nintendo of old now that Switch 2 has been announced.

“Where is the old Nintendo quirky we love?” They say every morning as their Alarmo wakes them up. A, checks notes, quirky product released by Nintendo 3 months ago lol.

React Native community, please help me out. What's your recipes for a delightful TouchableScale? What do you use as a base: `Pressable`, `BaseButton` from gesture-handler, anything else?

I'm going through pain: press animation is skipping occasionally and just doesn't feel right.

RT appreciated

Switch 2 is also the most boring possible name but I think it's the right one. Parents will understand that it's the next version of the Switch line and not an accessory. Plus backwards compatibility means kids can keep all their games when they upgrade at Christmas.

I don't even care about any new switch games, I just want to play Zelda at a good frame rate on a Nintendo console lol.

Coming up with a color swatch tool that I can make quick. You can add up to 5 colors in a card. You can also assign these colors to be your theme in Tinycrate.

a good game can turn into a great game if it sucks a little bit in an interesting way

I've been working on a new app called Tinycrate.

It's a fun, cozy, and lightning fast way to create a new kind of interconnected creative library. The key is that every thought you have becomes an adorable little card. So think of it like a "thought" camera and you look back on your "idea" photos.

I like Obdisdian a lot but like the actual note taking experience is… just not that great? Am I crazy? The editor is just so spartan. Creating a page with photos and links tons of text just feels too raw for me.

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It’s been a year since my last confession:

I typed on a mechanical keyboard for 11 MONTHS and I loved the feeling everyday.

One day, I randomly switched back to the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and I didn’t notice until I had to charge it a few weeks later.
