One thing I’ve always wanted in more apps, so I added it to #Cue:
Move tools and navigation to where they work best for you — bottom, left, or right.
Different screen sizes, different ways of holding a device, different workflows. The most useful controls shouldn’t have to live in the same place for everyone.

Another thing. I wrote the Lyrics API already half a year ago. Finally I’m done.

Out of time, but it seems I have some Swift 6.4 and package dependency cleanup to do 😅 Tomorrow night, let’s see if we can get on official package versions as much as possible. See you then!

I'm making a seasonal anime guide app, in the open for all to experience and learn from.
Short stream, but let’s start back-porting commits!

Drop what you’re building right now.
You never know who’s looking for exactly that.
Cool. Daft Music now syncs your progress between iOS and macOS. You can now seamlessly switch and continue your playback.
It took me a bit, but it became possible after I completely rebuilt the playback engine to get rid of some MusicKit-related issues that were plaguing me for a long time.

Weisst du, woher das @ in deiner Mailadresse kommt?
Aus dem Weinhandel: 1536 kürzte ein Florentiner Kaufmann in Sevilla so die Amphore ab, ein Mass für Wein. 1971 trennte das Zeichen dann Person und Rechner. Und heute die Frage, wem deine Adresse gehört. — Signierte Werke: at-war-ein-weinmass-a.png sha256:99c47ad664dce6747ec7de6372f6ca2ac5e90f7797cad0e7c20c6386234f886f · at-war-ein-weinmass-b.png sha256:2d4457675dfc7bec9942ade0c140ec1884c066415cd833d32128e022b3b14a6f

Your patterns tell a story
One day doesn't tell you much.
But weeks and months of small choices can reveal patterns you didn't notice.
Edorena is being built with that longer view in mind.
Your activity becomes context, not just history.

I made a What’s New video for McKinley 1.3:
I didn’t talk about the performance improvements that were the main star of 1.3, because I couldn’t really figure out how to demo them! But I discussed the features and some fixes that went into 1.3 and 1.3.1.
Get McKinley at https://mckinleysymbols.com for all your SF Symbol creation needs! (one time payment, no subscription!)
For the rest of October, PocketPB Pro is free with the code POCKETPBOCTOBER2026.
If you’re interested in an iPhone app for planning and tracking your fitness goals, give it a go free!
AI writes the post in 30 seconds. Then you spend 10 minutes as its copy-paste intern: paste into each network, trim to fit, re-crop the image.
The writing got automated. The posting never did.
I built LotsSocial so my agent schedules posts to each network itself and reports the live links: https://lots.social
Short stream was short, but it helped me realize just how big this branch has become. Tomorrow night, let’s start back-porting the more harmless changes to shrink it, so we can eventually test the new datastore. See you then!

Thinking about doing free website audits with
https://pulsecare.cloud
for the #buildinpublic community.
The idea is simple: run a thread for a week, check the website of everyone who replies, and post my findings and suggestions right there in the thread for everyone to see.
Could be useful for others too, since they might have the same #lighthouse issues
I think my decision a few years ago to dive deep into marketing, read a bunch of marketing books, and learn everything around it was definitely the right one.
Let's see what results it brings over the next year))
I’ve been spending some time trying to come up with branding ideas and a social media strategy for #PocketPB - this is very much out of my comfort zone as I have zero design skills 🤪
Have any of you had success with Instagram Boosts for your apps or success on other platforms like YouTube/TikTok?
McKinley 1.3.1 is out. (My Mac app for designing your own SF Symbols.)
As well as a few nice fixes and improvements, the app is now also half the size. (The .dmg is 25MB down from 43MB.)
Small fry when disks are measured in terabytes, but every little helps, right? (Pats pocket and tries not to get sued by Tesco.)
All 5 Actors on one page, plus 8 how-to guides (job APIs compared, a hiring-signal pipeline, App Store review mining):
Hi Mastodon 👋 We build Apify Actors that turn public sources into clean datasets — no API keys, no logins, no browsers.
• job boards
• App Store reviews
• ASO rankings
• domain enrichment
• URL audits
What they do, one by one 🧵
Submitting my new small app. Its a free thing I fooled around and a testbed for some things.

«Euer Archiv ist zu gross», sagt die IT. Aber bremst euch wirklich das Archiv?
Fast nie.

Die beste Anschaffung ist manchmal die, die du verschiebst.
Eine Plattform für rund 3'700 Franken lag auf dem Tisch. Gekauft haben wir sie nicht — die nächste Generation war angekündigt. Warten ist eine Entscheidung, wenn sie ein Ziel, eine Überbrückung und einen Auslöser hat. — Signierte Werke: verschobene-anschaffung-a.png sha256:421eee17a55e94c1df4fe395e8ee1b9acf693d2da02afb9036bc77ff3f87e0bc · verschobene-anschaffung-b.png sha256:9fef3ae8a973dc3046fc5c2965627dfe7bc6660715386c0c7d92bdd1c4a287d3

Weisst du, was ein Computer ursprünglich war?
Ein Mensch. Das Wort taucht 1613 auf und meint jemanden, der rechnet — über 300 Jahre ein Beruf.

Darf eine Kanzlei überhaupt KI nutzen?

My first conversation screen was a chat log. It worked, but it felt wrong: you could not tell whose turn it was, or where to look.
Apple's Translate app has a face-to-face view, so I tried it, and it clicked. Now the screen is split, the top half upside down for the other person. Each side has a mic, and it is a sign, not a button: ripples spread on the side whose turn it is.
Show whose turn it is. Don't explain it.
Got the site updated with the new season, at least on staging. Tomorrow night, let’s push it to prod, then jump back into lists. See you then!

I’ve checked for the last month, my paying users for Games and Amiilog are iOS 26+ with a few rebels on iOS 18. So that’s it, I have few enough users that I’m going to drop everything below iOS 26. #BuildInPublic
Appstead speaks your language. 🌍
Available in 8 languages, so more indie developers can keep an eye on their App Store business in the language they’re most comfortable with.
