@vanschneider The more you automate, the less you keep under your control. Up to everyone to decide how much of their personal touch they're willing to lose in their work.

@Keviduk I would say design & quality.

Nothing worse than if you have to come back to a piece of software just to fix its mistakes after it has done them poorly.

@ThePrimeagen Quick fix is just to symlink those files & directories

How much time you have left in today?

I'm releasing a new mini-app. Built on the thesis that if you visualize your passing time, you're less likely to waste it.

It won't tell you how to spend it. That's something for you to figure out.

@blader Built myself an app for that after reading this. If there’s interest, I’ll publish to App Store.

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@blader Thanks for the inspiration, Siqi

It took me some time to nail the behavior (live activities have many limitations). And even more time to polish the result so that I can publish it and pass the Apple review process.

For many, it's specifically their phone stealing their focus away from meaningful things in life. So, your phones lock screen felt like the best place for this.

Now, anytime you glance at your phone, you'll get reminded to spend each passing minute well.

Never let yourself grow bitter

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@simonsarris C.S.Lewis called this "need-love". It's what babies have towards their parents. Once you reach adulthood, you still have it, but it may be considered inappropriate or immature (because babies existentially require it)

It's better to ache, than to be nonchalant about love

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@skooookum Once implemented, your initial reaction changes from complaining to laughing.

As a side effect, you also become a much nicer person to have around.

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@anijen21 @raynefq Well written stories are an incredible way to get an experience across. Much better than telling people how to feel or what to do directly (because, by default, you don’t have all their context and they don’t have yours)

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@eryney_ok Now you can do it for pleasure without the pressure of greatness

@signulll It’s better not to systematize too much. Just the things you don’t want to deal with.

Choosing what to watch, for example, can be fun. You are deciding and talking, and then it turns into a conversation and you don’t end up watching anything, but have more fun together instead.

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@_de_6ixstar If you get angry, and feel shame about it afterwards, I believe you’re a better person inside than you show to the world.

Unfulfilled potential let’s call it. It is there, but you’re not fulfilling it just yet.

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@indoor47 @blader Both are WidgetKit. Same code is shared between widgets & complications. That's how I meant it.

With a live activity, you can kind of get both. But then again, live activities are time limited.

Hardest thing about Swift development is getting around the limitations, haha

[Ondřej Bárta @bartaxyz]

@indoor47 @blader Can't be a watch face (only Apple can create them), but it could be a nice widget.

Apple also introduced AlarmKit with iOS 26, but it doesn't seem to be available on WatchOS, unfortunately.
