Last week my partner (@themoondontshine.bsky.social) and I explored bringing the clicks 'n clacks brand into real life—the process of creating these was a new experience for the both of us. Hope to design more like this soon!

These artisans from jellykey.com are my new favourite handmade discovery—loved the Retro TV series, I unfortunately missed out on the last GB, but I am patiently waiting for whatever comes next!

I was in Cybersecurity before moving to product and believe it’s essential for everyone to learn!

I miss it, and Hacktivate by @twostraws.bsky.social fills that void. It offers 200+ challenges to learn about encryption, injection attacks, digital forensics & more—all with a real hacker’s toolkit!

Didn't get a chance last week to highlight one of my favourite features from issue 45—Click Browser by @jackbogdan.com

Keeps getting better with each update—simple, no frills, Arc-inspired browser, crazy fast on Mac Silicon, and I love Jacks personal aesthetic that he's bringing to this project.

My favourite cap set from this past week was GMK GORP by Evan aka extrapriusplease. I've been waiting patiently for this one, and now pre-orders for it are live! Inspired by "gorpcore" clothing and Arc’teryx, this beige and pastel set is a sight to behold!

“Advocates are particularly concerned over the facilities’ use of Pfas gas, or f-gas, which can be potent greenhouse gases, and may mean datacenters’ climate impact is worse than previously thought. Other f-gases turn into a type of dangerous compound that is rapidly accumulating across the globe.”

Some stories you may not be aware of if you’re not inside the circles where tech industry workers talk to each other: the groups at Microsoft that have been organizing for years to stop providing tech to enable genocide scored their first massive victory last week. www.theverge.com/news/785733/...

The Guardian revealed last month that Microsoft’s services were being used for mass surveillance of Palestinians.

I've sorely missed the old Launchpad since updating to macOS Tahoe- @sergeynewton.bsky.social's LaunchMe app has been a lifesaver! It brings back so many features, helps me organize my overwhelming number of apps, and greatly surpasses Launchpad in terms of customizability and personalization too!

HUGE thank you to @3-3.fyi for hosting me today and to those who attended the call!

It was so great to see everyone's faces again and the Q&A engagement was top tier. It felt amazing to fully share my story behind co-founding and building Fathom. :)

New app and community on the rise!! Keebuilder recently released their iOS app (Google Play coming soon)—I've been using it to browse keyboard builds, search vendors, and stay on top of upcoming Interest Checks! Great design, already active, growing quick, and can't wait to see what comes next!

An app that has brought me great joy this week has been Dockitty—a simple but adorable app that brings a small pixel pal to your Mac. Its free version includes all the main features and it keeps me both on task and just distracted enough from the work day!

Information overload after being internet-less on vacation for a week—felt good to step away and recuperate tho 🏖️

Having an absolute blast using new app—Cassette—to take a journey through old memories and videos. So glad to see many others enjoying and featuring it as well. Congrats on the incredible app and launch @justmedevin.bsky.social!!!

New keeb alert! The group buy for this magnificent new premium board—The Manta—by @alexotos.com and Bowl Keyboards is underway. It’s got a wavy, fin-like weight, precisely tuned acoustic internal ridging, high-quality metals/materials, and eye-catching colourways!

A new addition to my morning routine is using the new Yume Journal app—made by @dennush.bsky.social and @lorantcsonka.bsky.social—to jot down my sleepy dreams and ramblings. It’s loaded with sleek animations, a beautiful dark interface and is so simple to love and use!

During my switchover from Spotify to Apple Music, one of the most useful (and most stunning) apps I discovered was Denim—a playlist cover creation tool. Made by @ashwinsrihari.bsky.social, Demin transformed my dull default Apple covers into eye-catching, themed artwork!

I had a lot of fun this week rediscovering Clockology and designing some of my own watch faces. Here are a few modelled after the watches seen in the new Fantastic Four movie—since I missed the FF X Fossil drop a few weeks ago 😢

For those of you who are missing Pocket since it shut down—Folio is a fantastic alternative. Made by Nick Chapman (previously worked on Pocket), Folio is a modern spiritual successor to Mozilla’s read-it-later app loaded with some wonderful upgrades and easy-to-use features!

If you haven’t yet read it, @aresluna.org's newest essay, Frame of preference, detailing the deep history/design of the Mac control panel, is exceptional and I highly recommend checking it out—a longer read with some amazing emulation by @persistent.info's Infinite Mac
