Since I’ve been up to my elbows in this crap lately, my biggest wish for #WWDC24 is for Apple to have completely replaced AppStoreConnect and all the IAP bullshit with flows that are faster, all-platform and automatic. I love RevenueCat but their existence is an indictment.
I’ve seen it going around that the nerds are wanting macOS on the iPad. I think that’s ridiculous; putting macOS in a VM on a tablet would be super-janky. Instead, Apple needs to un-shackle the OS. Let devs make whacky apps! Let them run at the same time! Give us a terminal! Make it better than a Mac!
Things are happening...

OMG Tim.
You shouldn’t stand in your shiny, sun-soaked spaceship office and tell us shit like this. It makes us hope.
Was this actually the biggest day for iPad since 2010? I’m scratching my head here, but if I were put on the spot and asked to define the date of the second-biggest moment in iPad history, I think I’d reach for 2018 instead of today.
That’s when we were given the 3rd generation ... [Read More]
Wow that new iPad Pro looks amazing. But it’s still no replacement for a Macintosh Book Professional, so I got the new Air to replace my three-year-old one with cracked glass. And a folio case 😬.
I know Figma is the hot shit but Sketch is still my fave, and they ARE NOT LAYING DOWN — version 100 is out, and it slaps! Love this little video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZeIhiNbSMg
The latest PupperPost beta is now on TestFlight, providing a promo code entry to give press and VIPs Premium access to PupperPost! This is it; all the features are in place for launch. DO I DARE DO IT?
I need to implement one more feature in PupperPost before I launch. I’ve been blocked on it though. My mom (!!) just called me out: “you’re scared, aren’t you?” Turns out, she’s totally right. 🙃
"Any time you see two entities of similar size fight, bet on the one that thinks it’s fighting for its life.” A great perspective on the way Apple’s blowing it with the EU. https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/facing-reality-in-the-eu-and-tech/

When I was a teenager, we didn’t have no fancy streaming services. “Movie night” meant renting a VCR and a couple of VHS tapes. Which probably explains why I was such a voracious reader. From my earliest novels, I remember two big standouts: Stephen King, and James Clavell.
I read all of Clavell’s books: Shogun, Tai-Pan, King Rat, Nobel House, Gaijin… they were fascinating windows into another wo... [Read More]
