@Xavier2541 @skylightframe No, sorry. I’ve had a few people mention the skylight, might have to look into that in the future.

[Ben Noland @bennoland]

@MuseumShuffle @_CroutonApp I also encountered that diabolical lock screen last year! Glad you were able to do something about it.

🚀 @focusOS_ is now live on the App Store!! 🥳🎉

focusOS is a super-utility for Mac & iOS that hides all distractions with one click.

It seamlessly adjusts your devices for work and supercharges your productivity.

Download ➡️ https://t.co/9zRqZTaBjU

Here are some of the cool things it does;

1️⃣ Dim inactive apps, limit visible apps, hide the wallpaper, and more (on Mac)
2️⃣ Block news, social media, and other distracting apps & websites
3️⃣ Play ambient sounds to improve concentration, as if you were working from a cafe or listening to the sound of light rain

And also;

4️⃣ Turn on Do Not Disturb automatically with Shortcuts
5️⃣ Link your Mac, iPhone, iPad together - to sync environments in real-time

It’s become essential to my workflow, especially when I just want to focus on work without a hassle. Simply flick the switch and get straight into it.

See it in action ➡️ https://t.co/1lHO3LXIXi
Download on the App Store ➡️ https://t.co/9zRqZTaBjU

Try it out and let me know what you think!

Thank you to every single person that has supported focusOS during the last few weeks, I really appreciate it! 🙂🙂

@SwiftDev_UI @twannl I initialize my StateObjects at the App level, and pass them into my root view via environmentObject

[Ben Noland @bennoland]

@twannl Sounds like Universal Links are always preferred then, or are there situations when you should use a deeplink?

[Ben Noland @bennoland]

@JoshuaSkelly It’s during the onboarding. If you already logged in as a guest, go to settings / logout.

[Ben Noland @bennoland]

@JoshuaSkelly Otherwise, send me an email with any details you remember about the account (Profile names, unique chore names etc). I may be able to look it up in the database.

[Ben Noland @bennoland]

@JoshuaSkelly Did you already try recovering the email password, or signing in with apple?

Do you remember the household id? If so you can just create a new account and join it. If any of your family devices are still connected go to Settings/Household Settings.

@mikaela__caron Ryan’s foodnoms blog is pretty detailed, he’s profitable (>$10k MRR as of August).

@Shpigford @DetangleAI Dedicated Transactions table:
- timestamp
- amount

Get current balance by adding all transactions.

If/when that gets slow, add "DailyBalances" table that is refreshed from transactions by a backend process.

Current balance is today's starting balance + transactions from today

@jeiting Thank you for subclub.

[Ben Noland @bennoland]

@jeiting Knowledge is valuable, I understand why people pay. I've spent years of sifting through well intentioned bad advice.

In tech, it seems to get top tier coaching/mentorship you give away equity.

Or figure out who actually knows their stuff and build relationships.

[Ben Noland @bennoland]

@mattkandler Longer onboarding worked well for me. Few people finish, but those that do retain better.
