@pelloiafilippo The video is finally done! Took me three attempts because I wanted to shoot it outside, but changing light and cars passing by made it a nightmare 😅

Ended up shooting it indoors, edited and published it on YouTube, and finalized my Shipathon submission.

Pretty busy Sunday!

Three attempts later, the SnapSeries demo video is finally filmed, edited and on YouTube. My @RevenueCat Shipaton submission is complete!

Hope @plahteenlahti still has time to watch it.

Yes, the URL has the wrong project name. No idea why, and I couldn’t find where to change the slug.

@pelloiafilippo I couldn't do it yesterday, so I'm doing it today. Got caught up with groceries and installing a projector on the ceiling 😅

One thing I’ve noticed with iOS 27 / macOS 27: iCloud Photos sync seems much faster.

It used to take forever sometimes. Now photos show up on my other devices almost instantly.

Anyone else noticed this?

[App Store @AppStore]

Hello, iOS 27. 👋

Take a tour of the latest updates, including the introduction of Siri AI, an entirely new version of Siri that draws on your personal context and helps you search for content or take action across a variety of apps.

See what's new: https://t.co/WQ2sBBtRuw

Added AutoAlign to SnapSeries. If a photo is still a little off despite using the guide, on-device AI can fix the alignment. Manual adjustments are also available.

Version 1.2.0 is waiting for Apple’s review.

I think I now have all the features I wanted for the @RevenueCat Shipaton. Time to actually stop adding things and work on the demo video and distribution.

@kamilbaranek_ Video for sure, and distribution.

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

Top! I’ll give it a try. I will finally be able to delete my copy of Xcode 26.6 and build with Xcode 27 😀

[Expo @expo]

🙌 𝝠 Expo SDK 58 beta is out. Built for iOS 27 on React Native 0.88 RC, with 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚘-𝚊𝚙𝚙-𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 for Siri, @𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚘/𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝-𝚌𝚕𝚒 for coding agents, and Expo Modules 2.0 in beta....and tons more.

@austnstuff I’ve been dreaming of an Apple band like this for years. I’d buy it on day one.

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

@KomalWCode EXPLAIN first. If I’m asking for 20 rows and the database is reading 2 million, I want to know why before changing anything.

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

@consumerxai Totally agree. People get used to free stuff incredibly fast, even when they’re perfectly willing to pay $20/month for Netflix or $1,000+ for a new phone. Codex brings me way more value than what I’m paying for it.

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

@danellisona Visual Basic, Pascal and Ada 95. Yep, it’s been a while 😅

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

@rileybrown Technology has always been fun for me, even after 25+ years as a developer. But right now it feels like we can build and experiment with ideas at a completely different pace.

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

@KomalWCode AI can generate ideas, but that’s the easy part. I’ve abandoned many once I realized they wouldn’t work because of UX or device limitations. The hard part is finding one that solves a real problem and is interesting enough to commit to 100%.

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

@kamilbaranek_ Busy Saturday. Shipped an app update this morning while making the most of my Codex quota before the 10am reset. Now I have to shoot my first demo video on camera, in English, which isn’t my native language 😅 Then editing. Definitely building today.

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

@b4dgerr Codex

[Frederick Reverdin @reverdin]

Apple approved the bug fix in just a few hours. Review times seem to be getting better, at least for me.

It’s too dark to film the SnapSeries demo for the @RevenueCat Shipaton, so I worked on background exports with a Live Activity instead.

Really happy with the result. Version 1.1.0 is now waiting for review.

Shipaton update: SnapSeries is approved and available for free on the App Store 🎉

Try it and let me know what you think:

I really feel this. Before AI, I could spend hours focused on one bug or feature and somehow end the day less tired.

Now I’m constantly jumping between sessions and tasks while agents work in parallel. I get more done, but I can feel what all that context switching does to my concentration.
