Building @substack for iOS

moshi moshi😼

have you tried the new file browser with syntax highlighting?

[Brandon Titus @bjtitus]

@steipete Do you have a good flow for iOS tests yet? Just started playing with crabbox over EC2 for this but haven’t quite dialed in the best setup.

As the family IT guy its so disappointing how bad of an experience technology is for non-technical people.

I had the distinct pleasure of building educational software for kids full time for a summer while in college (s/o to @WilliamsonMark), and I remember they did weekly/biweekly user testing where a group of toddlers would come in and we'd record them using the software in various states and then adjust accordingly.

Every single session was SHOCKINGLY illuminating. Like, I expected after a number of these I'd empathize more and build better toddler software one-shot right? Hell fucking no. Every user study was so educational. I learned I simply can't enter the mind of a toddler.

Do TV companies, Netflix/Roku/etc. do user studies with elderly people? Do they realize how dogshit and impossible to navigate their interfaces are?

Asking some elderly family members to "sign up and schedule an Uber to pick you up for the airport" is like mission impossible. I thought they were exaggerating, then I tried the experience and holy shit man. Try cold finding, installing, signing up, and scheduling an Uber on a 5 year old iPhone with max font size. Its insane.

Love the “Dark Forest” framing of private communities.

“We show up and collaborate in private spaces. We lurk or perform in public ones. This in-between is where most of us stay. 

Everything public is an ad. Everything private feels more real.”

DFOS is an interesting customizable community hub thing. I like the “OS” feel with folders, icon and background customization, and the different app surfaces.

Today we’re releasing Appshots in Codex.

I love this feature! It makes it so easy to integrate Codex into everything I do on my Mac.

Intense vertigo thinking about @nanransohoff's numbers. Based on current pledges/valuations, AI philanthropic giving would saturate an additional 300+ Arc Institutes, i.e. an extra 80K employees. Or 5,000 Institutes for Progress, demanding 200K employees! https://t.co/TQXUxv7eHE

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

[Mills Baker @millsbaker]

I'm hiring a product designer, and perhaps more than one! In the JD, I note that we're looking for a designer "with engineering characteristics," mild hyperbole (perhaps) and definitely one of the stranger phraseological references I've made in a posting. 1/n

[Sasha Ivanov @mr_sudo_]

super excited to share this “liquid photos” iOS app concept I’ve been working on! future user interfaces will feel a lot different than today

New post 📝

A deep dive into a topic I wanted to explore for a long time: how to render a realistic sky and atmosphere

I explore everything from simulating the interaction of light with air, to handling sunsets, all in real-time, from ground to space

[Point-Free @pointfreeco]

Swift 6.2 introduced a vision for “approachable concurrency.” This includes two new features that make working with async code much easier: nonisolated-nonsending, and actor-isolated conformances. Let’s explore each topic and see how they improve things.

[Ribbonfarm @ribbonfarm]

Ribbonfarm has been resurrected as a museum blog with an AI curator. Details:

The old reading experience is preserved intact, with significantly improved speed and cleaner reading layout, but there’s now a lot more intelligent scaffolding for exploring.

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

Slowly but surely, the mobile app is becoming fully native. The team really cooked with this release.

2.9.0 dropped a few hours ago.
some of you are already in it — here's what's new.

[Farza 🇵🇰🇺🇸 @FarzaTV]

Here's the new Clicky.

It's the simplest interface in the world to talk to AI + spawn agents.

It builds Mac apps. It does research to help you find IG micro-influencers. It interacts with native Apple Notes, Calendar, Reminders.

Built for consumers, 0 setup.

Try today, free.

AVPlayer.isObservationEnabled = true
をすることで、AVPlayerがObservableに対応するっぽい。普通に頑張って実装してたので知らんかった。

⭐ New talk! https://t.co/dhDLxakvrC

Coding agents might help us finally break out of two cages: the app model, which traps computing in one-size-fits-all silos; and programming as a specialization, which has crowded out cultures of imagination and domain insight.

[Geoffrey Litt @geoffreylitt]

Deeply inspiring work at the intersection of malleability and coding agents!

[Hiroya Iizuka @0317_hiroya]

超すごいやん。。

HeptabaseやExvalidrawみたいに、空間を使って、Agentの挙動を制御してる

Terminal同士を、矢印で接続するというこの発想。。

すごい
