@github @sallar So many phases of my life captured in 15 years of these little squares

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

I did manage to rebuild and relaunch @seriesphotosapp this year. Used it to curate that set! It’s a unique joy to create with tools you made.

Two photos of the sky from 2021.

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

Didn’t make photography a habit in 2022, but made some good images during a few trips to the Eastern Sierra. Quality over quantity?

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

Snow day all day.

One of these is close to home, the other is very much not. It's a good reminder to appreciate what is near and to reach for new experiences.

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

Huge update for Series. An important step in building long term value in the tool.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

Now Available: Series Templates. Save and reuse your layouts. Consistent posts were never easier.

Templates capture every aspect of your layout: frame, color, spacing, margin, and edge. Make it yours, then apply to any number of photos.

A little insight into the oft-hidden corners of product design. Love that @rcarver is starting to share bits of the process behind @seriesphotosapp on Medium (below) as well as on IGTV/Twitter.

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

This was a fun one to make.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

New! Add an edge around photos, in any style of layout.

My favorite design detail of the new UI: the monospaced numerals of Ringside by @HoeflerCo.

I love it when an idea comes out better than you thought.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

Here’s a bit of the first thing shipping from that work. I’m dreaming in rectangles now.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

Really excited about this new release!

Shape your story faster with new One-Tap Layouts. Fluidly switch between them with any number of photos, then make it your own with fine-grained controls.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

One year ago today I posted this pairing to Instagram. A month later I started learning iOS and working on what would become Series.

So happy for how far it's come and excited for what's next!

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

This release was a ton of work, but also a lot of fun. Finally got the UI to a place that feels good and ready to grow.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

Release 1.5 is now available!

The controls have been completely redesigned and rebuilt, bringing the lovely Ringside font from @HoeflerCo into the UI for a more refined yet playful feel.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

Oh thanks @DenseDiscovery! Love this newsletter and @offscreenmag.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

Look at that! Series is one of @Apple's 'New apps we❤️'

Creating a product means understanding your role in the world. I’m still figuring that out but here’s today’s thought.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

I believe that staying positive and creative is important.

My family is well and adjusting to life at home. I’ve been working on the app a ton. I love doing it, and it’s way to keep things normal.

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

Plus as an app developer, editing UI footage frame by frame is a great way to QA the details.

[Ryan Carver @rcarver]

Love putting together these case studies for @seriesphotosapp. This one features @danrubin shooting @kristinamariee on @lomography film.

[Series – Customizable Layout @seriesphotosapp]

Watch @danrubin use Series to quickly crop and add borders for @instagram (1/3)
