I built an iOS app for Ghost publishers
Geistify is a mobile app for Ghost publishers that I built while learning iOS development. Now I'm publishing on Ghost myself to use it in the wild.

The ai industry gets another win, by which I mean yet another ai company isn’t being sold for actual money and has to do some weird licensing deal. This will be sold as “avoiding regulation” but I think it’s so it can avoid actually owning these toxic assets while draining them of IP and talent
Sources: Nvidia's licensing deal with Groq, which has raised ~$1.8B, includes payouts to Groq's key execs and investors, including BlackRock and Tiger Global (The Information)

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

I'm not sure if a macOS app can be more niche than this: I wanted to access the macOS share sheet in @vivaldi.com faster, or by clicking on a button, rather than using File > Share. So, I built an app for it. You can join the TestFlight, if that is your thing.

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses.
However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.
