I post about my side projects, Flutter, F1, music, and books.
I got one too! About an hour outside of Salt Lake City. (Not really visible without a camera)

Google Play is consistently a heinously awful experience for developers. I added a new bank account *an hour ago*, and came back to this message.

Apparently if you fail to verify a payment method, they kick you off the store. And this is how they communicate that. 🖕

Happy Caturday!

This isn’t love. Top cat knows that if she loves bottom cat enough, that bottom cat will get annoyed and leave, so top cat can have the perch to herself.

I forgot to post, @boostblue.bsky.social passed an incredible milestone over the weekend!

Thank you so much everyone for the support. This project has been a ton of fun, and it’s amazing that other people are enjoying it enough to support it.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

Grade: B+

A fun whodunnit, and a pretty easy read. I initially read this when I was twelve, and finished it in a single sitting. I re-read it recently and it was just as enthralling.

Rebels at Sea by Eric Jay Dolin

Grade: B

Rebels at sea covers the history of privateers in the American Revolution, and their impact on America’s victory - something I had never heard of. Interesting but not gripping, written as a general historical account.

@boostblue.bsky.social progress update:

I’m working on improving the horizontal experience on iPad, starting with a side bar to reduce the width of posts.

Preview of the hiding Nav bar in the next version of @boostblue.bsky.social!

This was a bit of a UX challenge, because when restoring your last read position it’s expected that you will scroll in the opposite direction of a typical feed.

Idea Man by Paul Allen
Grade: B+

It was especially cool to hear about all of the projects he was involved in after Microsoft - most of which I was aware of, but didn’t know he was involved with.

Notably:
Spaceship 1
Museum of Pop Culture
Ticketmaster
espn.com

The dirtiest hand I've seen in awhile. From the WSOPE Colossus tournament.

I’m working on establishing a unique design for Boost Blue. I want it to look similar to the Bluesky app, with a bit more UI delight.

Thay said, do you like this shadow effect? It would apply to embedded links, media, and quotes.

I think this is actually more in line with the way TikTok treats their feeds in app.

So far, I’m really liking it.

Strong lead for either G or D.

People are sleeping on G including BBQ.

I’d probably go G, not on merits, but because I need *some* white people food to eat on the regular.

Preview of what I’m working on for @boostblue.bsky.social

- New nav bar options: Saved Posts, Announcements, Feature Voting, and Settings.
- Side drawer on the Home Page, allowing far easier and centralized app navigation.

Nothing here is groundbreaking, but it will improve the UI/UX quite a bit.
