iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Ha, rejected for asking for a rating during onboarding which... I don't do?... except it turns out I actually did add a bug that does just that 😅 So... a rare "thank you!" to App Review for catching a bug before I shipped it to customers 🙏

Kinda unexpected that they’d enter review within minutes of each other 🤔

Join the Framous: Screenshot Frames beta

Probably not the best business idea to give away for free... but what the heck 🤪 Here's the beta for the Framous 2.0 Release coming with macOS 27 on Monday 👀 Video support, new frames (including Duo), and more! Use it to get your iOS 27 release ready! testflight.apple.com/join/UwDAXrVQ

testflight.apple.com

Available on iOS

Apps with no tab bar are going to look weird on the Duo with that huge gutter on the side... gonna be tempting to stuff things there just to make it feel less awkward 🤔 (this is the apple music app with the tab bar buttons edited out)

Couldn't ask for a better guest than David for episode 100 🚀 And it's got all the hits! ✅ Creative background (audio production) ✅ Long history on the app store ✅ How to pitch your app (without being annoying) ✅ Extremely long runtime with lots of diversions 🤪

Alright, 3 iOS 27 and macOS updates submitted for Dark Noise and Framous Let’s hope App Review moves quick 🤞

I've been doing a terrible job of actually shipping this year, which means this Framous update actually has quite a bit of goodies on top of the new device frames including video support and this little fun guy

Hmm, I guess we've entered a world where there isn't just Portrait + Landscape It's 4 different rotations now since the corners aren't symetrical 🤔

New device bezels from Apple are up, including the Duo! Integrating them into Framous now. Will hopefully have a beta for you all soon, and the Mac App Store release… whenever App Review lets me 🤪 developer.apple.com/design/reso...

My iOS 27 Dark Noise release is just about ready! There’s a big foundational overhaul (boring to talk about here) – migrated almost the whole app to SwiftUI where possible, and FINALLY shipping this new liquid glass Now Playing UX I built almost a year ago 😄

Anyone have recommendations for portable keyboards? I recently got a co-working space (hot desk style) and the keyboard situation is... rough. For reference I really like the standard Magic Keyboard, I just don't think they'd travel well in a bag?

New Launched! 🚀 This week @birchtree.me joins the show to talk about his long blogging career & newfound love of app development. This was a fun one!

After Dia added swipable profiles I tried switching from Arc again and after a few weeks, I think I can say I've finally broken free of Arc 😅 tbh it still feels like it's just a "less good Arc" - but at least it feels like it's being actively developed. and not slowly rotting

Thanks to everyone who came out to last night’s @stlswift.com #Shipaton event! Hope to see you at the next one!

While I was in the Canadian mountains I almost missed that my new Launched episode with the great icon designer @matthewskiles.com released! I’ve been admiring Matthew’s work for my entire indie career. It was cool to learn his story, and get some icon design advice along the way 😁
