My sophomore effort, LetterSet - A Typography Tool, is live! Neither a text editor, nor a drawing tool, but a secret third thing.
In this unusual experience, you can relive what it meant to design in the era of pre-Desktop Publishing. Revel in the joy of:
-Rudimentary font selection
-Mistakes that are hard to undo
-Creative expression through limitations
-An unusual photo collage experienceI can’t wait to see what you do with it.

I see a lot of apps in e.g. #showcase25 use #FoundationModels, and… *practically speaking*¹, isn’t that what #CoreML promised to do?
Is it as simple as “if we took Core ML, and added a ton more data, the results are way better”?
¹ by that I mean: I’m not looking for a treatise on how ML and LLM differ. I’m trying to figure out the consequences at a much higher level.

@stroughtonsmith thank you for doing this again 😄
Still working on @ripppleapp, a trakt.tv client made for iOS, available on iPadOS, and macOS to track, discover, and share movies and TV shows.

It’s been more work than expected, but I’m optimistic about getting there on time 😅
