Coming in the next @artifacts.app update, you can now (finally) swipe between items in the detail view. Added some nice touches like animating between the backgrounds and scrolling the collection view in the background so it will swipe down to the correct item

Working on improvements to link previews in @artifacts.app . For links without open graph images, it was pretty boring before. @jordanborth.bsky.social came up with getting the best icon we can from the site and use that with the average color. Really liking how this looks

Custom icons for collections coming in the next @artifacts.app update. This has been on the todo list since the very first designs but just haven't had a chance to implement it

Experimenting in @artifacts.app with automatically suggesting Tags and Collections based on the content. It's really simplistic now just matching your existing tags/collections against the content, but surprisingly useful. Here it is suggesting the "swift" tag for this post.

I still haven't found a lot of use in LLMs for coding with Swift. But doing Advent of Code in Python which I don't know well and it's incredibly useful. I just need to know how to do a thing in Python that I know how to do in other languages, way faster than looking each thing up:

What a joy when platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon do the right thing with OpenGraph tags. Works beautifully in @artifacts.app without needing any customization, unlike X

In theory, I love that an app like this is open-source, but I'm not sure in practice it's tenable to have it open to contribution. I think they'll forever be drowning in issues and PRs. Better to have a small dedicated team with taste to build it.

You would have fun with it. I've printed all sorts of things over the years, mostly small useful custom things for the house, like I made a mount for the Apple TV to hang behind my TV. Last year I printed this Link gauntlet for my son's halloween costume.
