Working on futureland.tv every day. On some days I work on https://kompressor.app or pagi.lucas.love.

Currently interested in Swift, E2EE, offline-first apps and tools that truly serve their users.

I have been consistently going to the gym for 2 years now, and I still wonder when it will start to get fun.

My body undeniably changed in major ways since I started. I look and feel healthier, have less back pain, and put on a bunch of muscle, but I don't enjoy any part of it.

Any tips?

Last weekend I started self-hosting @ente.io as a privacy-friendly and E2E-encrypted alternative to iCloud Photos.

It was pretty easy to set up and is incredibly fast. The apps feel mature, and hosting the photos in an S3-compatible storage makes it cheap too.

So far I am super happy with it.

Can't believe that after all these years, this thing is finally working again.

People seem to enjoy Macrowave’s new ephemeral P2P chat feature. There is obvious room for improvement, which we will work on in the coming weeks.

If there is something you are missing, please let us know.

Hard to beat the excitement of receiving a new letter on LetterMe. Always feels magical.

It’s really rare for digital products to invoke the feeling of Vorfreude these days.

Today I played around with Embedded #Swift to build a hello world app for the #Pebble and was able to run it on my almost 10 year old Pebble Time Round.

Created a little demo mode for #Macrowave to make it easier for us to take screenshots and create screen recordings. Once enabled, it automatically overrides certain labels for nicer demo assets.

`defaults write com.lucas-fischer.Macrowave demo 1`

#Macrowave macOS version 1.1.1 with chat rooms (beta), a bunch of new animations, and improvements is now available for download on the Mac App Store.

Trying to create a unique first launch experience for #Macrowave.

We are currently working on the next big #Macrowave feature for macOS and iOS. A private P2P chat room that's available for all listeners and the broadcaster. The chat is ephemeral and is only stored as long as the station is on air.

Let me know if you want to try this together.

Was working on the settings screen for the iOS version of #Macrowave today and needed a new mobile toggle component.

It wasn't planned when I built lucas.love, but when I open the source folder in @obsidian.md, I get a really neat CMS for free. ✨

5 years ago I ate the best cake. Still chasing that high.

The only new browser worth getting excited about.

Here is a quick video in which I show you how simple it is to use the Macrowave Broadcaster.

Almost done. Time to prepare the App Store submission for 1.1

Macrowave v1.1 is slowly coming together, and I am so excited about it.

A bunch of improvements for macOS and introducing the broadcaster for iOS.

We updated the website before we invite more people to TestFlight because we wanted to improve the experience for listeners that don't have access to the Macrowave app on their Mac or iPhone.

We also improved how publicly shared URLs look like.

For example: macrowave.co/lucas/house-vibes

Macrowave is now available for pre-order on the Mac App Store.

Playing around with this switch this evening.

Gave the Broadcaster a new look to make it easier to distinguish it from the Receiver.
