[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

Introducing Nimble! A beautifully native git client for your Mac. 💻😍

I’m hoping to send out test invites by the end of the week! 👀

@BobWulff Weird creator to go after, you're probably one of the most down to earth creators when it comes to understanding consumer tech prices.

I would have this over an Apple Watch and that may be the problem. Amazing exploration.

[Parker Ortolani @ParkerOrtolani]

time for a new concept, what if Apple made a Fitbit Air competitor? Imagine an "Apple Loop" inspired by the sport loop with a small aluminum puck and a MagSafe style charger...

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

This is awesome I think opens a new product category. AI running goggles.

[Stijn Spanhove @stspanho]

🏃‍♂️ I've gamified my own run so I can race my own ghost with the Meta Ray-Ban Display.

I built a web app for the glasses, loaded a previous GPX from Strava, and dropped game mechanics on top.

Pick up coins when you keep pace, sprint zones reward extra points if you push, and a mini leaderboard on the lens shows how you're tracking against your past self in real time.

Best part: it actually works. Seeing your ghost 20 m ahead is a way stronger nudge than any number on a watch. 😅

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@peduarte Ahh okay! Maybe something you could expose in the theme editor one day 🤞

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@peduarte Is this a software limitation or design choice? I was just so hyped for this more glassy look.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@peduarte The cover 🙂

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

I think it's actually an excellent accomplishment.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

At first @SlackHQ's new activity feed felt really wrong and I think that's because I was experience a ton of bugs, but now I totally get it, and I totally get why they wanted to bundle DMs in there too. Great work people.

[Dave @davidcafor]

If you told me a year ago that making a Sudoku game based on colors would be funding my tech cravings, I would’ve laughed.

Month 1 of Hue9: Paid for my Apple Dev Program renewal.
Month 3: Just paid for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Next goal: Studio Display.

Never underestimate a simple idea executed with passion. Thank you all!

Can someone tell the other world's first marketing teams that there's another one? Would really like to know who was actually first.

[Youn Hwang @YounchanHwang]

We raised $5.4M to make paid ads run themselves.

Introducing Playad, the world's first AI marketing team.

First up: paid ads, run by AI.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@No_Wham Can I call you whenever I need someone to back me up on this?

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@surdo_pte @Jackkk He wanted 2.5% and more for free basically.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@benfryc @framer @work_louder Oh amazing, I really found full turns tricky due to them being so close, I suppose that might have been just me.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@Flighty @aaronagai @rjonesy Makes sense 🙂

I'd also like to add smart time zone based ordering.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@Flighty @aaronagai @rjonesy If you're hiring more people, I wouldn't get so constrained by technical implementation. Making this swipe-able is absolutely possible. If it's the right decision for the product then make it happen. It's the only way a new designer and developer is going to have max impact.

@nishimiya Most animations are decorative only look good in demos. In real-world apps, they just don’t work.

Think back to when you switched from Windows to macOS. Did you notice you stopped minimizing windows?

Why? Because the Genie effect is slow. So you stop using it.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

@asallen Are you sure it won't look like this? The last time they made an update it all looked how the presented, at least I thought it did 🤔

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

I'm losing trust that what Claude does is going to be bug free and fit for purpose. I don't think I trust it right now. Anyway, this tweet took 5 minutes, Claude should be almost finished changing that icon...

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

I have to say @claudeai's sudden slow downs mid flow, server errors, and the fact its genuinely seems 50% dummer lately, are really starting to become an issue for me. Codex is calling.

[Rob Swift @RobSwish]

I love the Claude brand, I dislike OpenAi in a few ways, but this is getting impossible and unproductive to work with.
