Funny how for several decades we haven't seen phones like this and yet the icons continue to be the same.

I really like Slack’s catch up feature on mobile. It’s how I start my workdays now.

Looking back at the year 2024 to see what went well, what needs work, and what needs stopping.

From today morning: Poured on a (hot) matcha latte for the first time. Not the cleanest pour but fun nonetheless. Mom thinks it looks like a leaf. I’ll take it!

I wrote a blog post that's really just an excuse to trick you into watching @worrydream.com's Inventing on Principle talk
The pursuit of fast feedback loops in Android development
There's something magical about having a direct connection to what we're building

Ooooo!
I would like to share that I have released the Gradle Plugin of my svg-to-compose project!

It is a #KMP project with its own parsing algorithm that parsers both SVG/XML to ImageVector (and, in the future, Canvas and VectorPainter) and it is available on Maven for usage!

⚠️ Long thread ahead.

I’m trying to read more about matchbox designs from around the world, with a focus on Asia. Lovely people of Bluesky, do you have any book recommendations?

(I’ve already read The Match Book 🇮🇳 / Light of India 🇮🇳 / Striking! 🇸🇬 / Matches 🇮🇷 / and have Matchbloc next on my list)

Please RT for reach!

How are you folks choosing between bsky, Threads, and Mastodon?

I really want to commit to one platform but the choice paralysis is real.

Oh, how I’ve missed chronological feeds 😭

You can scroll till you reach your last viewed mental save point and then just quit the app. 😭
