My app ”MAO - Med andra ord” (Word Detour in all app stores outside Sweden) apparently spiked in downloads a few days ago. Over 100 downloads in one day. I wonder if some school somewhere in Sweden decided to add it to their iPads. It’s free after all! 🙂🤷🏻‍♂️

Every time another semester in school is about to start in sweden my app Skollunch increases significantly in downloads. It’s kind of fun to follow on the stats.

My tvOS app is now live! I think I’ll try to make a watchOS version of my app Thirteen-Two next…

I wanted to see how it would go if I tried to make any of my apps available on AppleTV, and I have to say;

I love SwiftUI!

Sure, the app I decided to use needed some platform specific tweaks, but 99% of the code just worked!

I started this app idea over a year ago but got sidetracked by other projects and life in general. Two days ago I finally picked up where I left off, and now it’s almost finished! The app got a bit more love and polish than I envisioned from the get go, but hey! I’m really happy with it!

BTS: Some documents I made before I created the level generator in my puzzle games “Just Lines!”. All levels were drawn on paper at first.

The plus button on everyone’s profile picture here on BlueSky is positioned exactly where I place my thumb when scrolling one handedly. If I had a penny for every time I accidentally brought up the context menu for adding someone I’d be a millionaire 🤣

Today one of my apps are ranking! Number 4 🥳

I updated one of my Android apps today. I really should learn more Android instead of relying on ChatGPT to help me. If only I could code for Android the same way I code for iOS. Then coding for Android would actually be enjoyable too. I just love Swift and SwiftUI.

Today I replaced my iPhone 13 Pro Max with an iPhone 16 pro. The difference in size isn’t much, but the user experience of that tiny difference is HUGE!

Had some (read: a lot) trouble resetting my Mac. Turns out not everything works equally smooth with apple if you’ve changed your e-mail that’s associated with your apple-id. I had to add the old e-mail again to get it to work.
Anyway! I now have ~200gb free space instead of 20-30gb 🥳👍🏻

I’m doing a long overdue reset of my MacBook Air M1 2020. Will be interesting to see how much space I get back that the “system” is currently hoarding.

Hello BlueSky users!

I’m looking for iOS devs and other creative or funny people to follow now that I’ve decided to leave that cesspool called X and all the devs and other decent people I followed there.

Just say hi or follow for a follow.
