Apple's first foldable iPhone is officially here, and it brings massive surprises.

From a giant 7.6-inch inner display and 44-hour battery life to ditching Face ID in favor of Touch ID and capping zoom at 2x, the iPhone Duo is dividing the internet.

Would you give up Face ID and a telephoto lens for a foldable screen? Drop your thoughts below!

Every time I found a prompt that actually worked, I lost it five minutes later - buried in Notes, a screenshot, some random chat. So we built PromptShelf: a home for every prompt you actually use. 👇🧵

Built this because I was tired of “wait, what was the exact wording on that prompt?” If that’s you too, this is for you.

@SahilSatralkar Thank you!

Turned 33 today 🎂
Looking back, I just feel lucky.
Happy wife, two amazing sons, a home that actually feels like home. That’s the real foundation, everything else is a bonus.
A year ago I finally stopped saying “someday” and started building my own projects. Not waiting, not planning forever - just started. Now they’re actually bringing in results.
Turns out the hardest part isn’t the code or the marketing. It’s starting.

Also - wife surprised me with a new MacBook M5 Pro 🙌 Upgraded from my old M1 Max, and with 48GB of RAM Xcode doesn’t even blink. Everything just flies 😀
This year: polish what’s working, ship a couple of new things 🚀
Grateful for everyone along for the ride.

Released a new app ~24 hours ago - zero keywords indexed in any country 🤔
A month ago indexing would kick in within 1–2 hours. Now complete silence.
Anyone who shipped something recently seeing the same thing? Is App Store indexing broken right now?
