Updated AetherCam to version 1.1. Couple of updates:
1) New reverb engine
2) Landscape recording is now supported
3) Frame-by-frame scrubber in the Studio editor

@krzyzanowskim LLM models come up with the SHITTIEST AppKit apps I've ever seen. It's total abomination

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@twostraws @adamlyttleapps Yup, Fable 5 pushed the envelope of what's possible. Before it was suspended it was even better, I briefly interacted with it a day before the ban and it blew my mind

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@GergelyOrosz It’s the same situation in Austria. Not surprised at all.

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@jacobtechtavern Needs more sparkle

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@jeremyphoward Yup. I got a feeling that it got completely lazy. It gives wrong answers and comes up with elaborate explanations that have zero backing in sources/code.

It's #WWDC26 day! #AetherCam receives an update and fully embraces Liquid Glass :) #iOS #Swift #buildinpublic #iOS26 #Apple #SwiftUI

@kiwicopple @supabase Congratulations! I've been following @supabase closely and you guys are doing really great work!

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@fedesanchez0 Fantastic stuff!

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

Spent the weekend and a bit of Monday working on Liquid Glass in #AetherCam. The update should come out just in time for #WWDC26. Really happy with how it looks! #iOS #Apple #buildinpublic #SwiftUI #Swift

@seanallen_dev @BitrigApp Wow! Congrats!

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@cornu__copia My experience as well here in Austria. It’s horrible

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@seanallen_dev Sorry to hear that Sean. Your courses and YT channel helped me immensely and set me on the iOS path a couple of years ago. All the best!

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@twannl Congrats! Well deserved!

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@paulg @LangeSoehne remains an undisputed champion for me :) Lange 1 or 1815 are just out of this world

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@FarzaTV @heyclicky Very similar to the idea that I coded for the ElevenLabs hackathon last month :) really cool!

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@everton_dev (2/2) So I thought that I'll leave it for now (development-wise) and come back to it later with more functionality. Third thing: the app space that I tried to break into is just so heavily saturated and the leader in that category clears each and every one of those apps by a mile

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@everton_dev First and foremost, the positioning of my app was absolutely horrendous. I did zero research on the keywords, the app lacked visibility. Second, I took a hard look at the app and, in general, the value proposition wasn't there to fully justify the price (9.99/yr) (1/2)

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@everton_dev Absolutely. The switch to a hard paywall usually is the easiest path to negative reviews. But being completely honest, my second app had a hard paywall and it really didn't really change the game that much.

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

I reckon $1 Billion ARR is gonna happen faster than anyone can imagine. 11Labs is an absolute rocket ship and the way the company disrupts the audio space with constant innovation (and insane execution!) makes it clear to me that they are heading for even bigger revenue than $1b

[Luke Harries @lukeharries]

Massive milestone

Now let's see how long until we can get to $1 Billion ARR

[Janusz Polowczyk @januszpdev]

@everton_dev Hey, but you still got $19! In general I feel that right now it's very hard to have paying customers. People use very few apps and they really think through every purchase.
