Did you know that you're missing out on 75% of iOS users if you only support iOS 26?
By supporting iOS 18, you can 10x (!) your potential users, and if you go lower you can cover pretty much all devices.
ps: iosref(.)com has cool iOS stats, shoutout to the author @eugenemsp

Actually, here it is, Transcripto can now transcribe audio messages shared from WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal 😎
(at the very least!)

Optimised Transcripto's launch time to the point that "Loading models" now looks like a bug 😄
Will be removing the model loading screen after the first launch (during the first launch Apple Neural Engine needs to compile the weights for that particular device, takes ±20s)

Coreml model storage format is crazy efficient, this bundles a full Parakeet v3 0.6B model.
If you wanna run it locally with python's apple silicone framework the model alone is 2.5GB

They built a VR contraption for rats and it actually worked! Wow

I really admire practical engineering, so simple and to the point!
they even trained rats to shoot, which is slightly concerning haha

Transcripto's live captions for 🇳🇱 Dutch are nearly flawless, and pretty much realtime, Dutch learners, you'll soon have quality subtitles for any audio on your laptop or phone!
it also works for 25 languages other languages (on iPhones too)
mac/ios app is coming soon ✌️😄

Transcription is working at ~100x ⚡️ realtime speed both on Macbook Pro M2 as well as iPhone 14 ✌️
Still ironing out the kinks in token streaming / audio chunking, but it's really coming together! I got suuper granular timestamps too - per token, super cool tech

Seems like the only way to ensure ultimate performance and UX is to build things internally: parakeet 0.6B coreml model loads in 160ms ⚡️
After ANE cache, of course
Goal -> build the fastest/most accurate _realtime/live_ transcription app out there ✌️

Since when is it a crime to sign up with email on your own domain name? 😕
KlingAI giving this warning, ensuring pretty bad UX for power users, seemingly in the name of preventing abuse of their free tier/sign up offer?
It's not complicated to get gmail/yahoo emails these days ><

Just found another Privacy Policy page for Gemini products, seems like there are some controls, but oh my, I can't imagine anyone actually being able to stay on top of these

Asked Claude Opus 4.5 to analyse all of Gemini's privacy policies wrt training their AI on the code that you provide as a user - reasonably sure they can do it regardless of the settings 🤷

I start to think that Cursor sometimes forces devs to update with interface glitches

fyi I'm still doing the 30 apps in 30 Days #buildinpublic challenge: making iOS apps for the first time - for monologger.app (notes with voice) as well as duettio.com (realtime dual conversation translation tool).
I think they both deserve to be native apps :)
Here's the state of Monologger 👇
