I make things, but don’t post about it enough @flipcloc

A video from the App Store for the Mac release going through a few FlipCloc styles

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

It’s out! Months of work later, FlipCloc is here for the Mac

I’ve always wanted to be on the App Store and I’m super pumped about it finally being here!

@ChristianSelig Ooh +1, but I love titanium and I’m not willing to switch away

Here’s where you can find the new DVD mode

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

FlipCloc gets DVD mode!

What self respecting screensaver doesn’t have one

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

Find it under the new manual Screen Protection controls. DVD mode is the dialled up to 11 screen protection mode

@johnternus Hi 👋

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

Woohoo, first ever @AppStore review!

I deeply care (and spend way too much time) about aesthetics, optimization, & customer support, and it makes me so happy to see this ♥️

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

1.4.6 also included haptics on the Mac which feel so good while adjusting the alarm waveform slider & older sliders. Subtle haptics across the UI really make the app feel alive

Shame that Apple removed the web haptics workaround :/ Was quite proud of having that

Also new: Notifications cause what if you set an alarm and then close your app!

Never miss an alarm. This was tough to sync between notifying in app when visible or pushing a notification when the app is not visible or closed, but nothing some clever code and timing cannot fix

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

Notifications also on Windows

Cross platform dev is definitely challenging but satisfying to hear alarms on Windows

Couldn’t set notification type on Mac tho. If anyone knows, please share

Also, the Windows alarm sound reminds me of my Lumia from many years ago. So pleasant

Also, FlipCloc now has alarms because Andrea requested it. 12 gentle sounds

Screen alerts and flashes idea by Chris is also used for alarms. Background lightens nearing an alarm. Bg and digits pulse together when alarm rings, as an additional visual cue to the alarm tone

@Telestijl @antigravity Sometimes, AI language models can experience a bug where they get "stuck in a loop" and just repeat the exact same word (or token) endlessly instead of generating a proper response. That is exactly what happened there. It just got stuck repeating the word "producing" over and ove

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

Uhh @antigravity ?

This happened and then I lost my conversation history for a bit. Strange

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

@Telestijl @antigravity Yeah I was able to steer it back after two or three messages and then it was able to tell me what happened (pasted in next reply). It also lost the conversation history in addition the text generate glitch

Oddly it happened simultaneously across two different conversations

lol, always fun to see Google analytics go brrrr

An average of 6 hours on FlipCloc lol. My design portfolio site could never

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

New logo & typography also means website elements, buttons, cards must follow

I will never not like blue

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

New logo also needs some beautiful typography

Love seeing the new word mark! Gorgeous like the clock

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

@Me_Sanjumohan Thankyou 😁

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

Some really fun stuff I can’t stop looking at

An interactive globe populated with actual data showing where people use FlipCloc the most (last 3 months)

So fun, super optimized, and using brand colors

Dreamed of having a live visualisation like this for a long time. Finally!

[Alan Jacob George @AlanJacobGeorge]

@brian_lovin Haha, same globe gang! For the fun is very important
