maybe having an always on agent that can't argue back or reject ideas out of hand + insomnia + ADHD, probably isn't the best thing to have around. i don't know i'm not an expert.

i think i might be through hating the iPad. managing column state is fun.

Three side-by-side dark mode iPad mockups of a social media app demonstrating bulk edit and selection mode. The left screen shows a scrolling timeline with a vertical navigation rail on the left and a “Following” feed at the top. The center screen shows the timeline dimmed with a red “Remove” button and a blue “Done” button floating near the bottom center, indicating selected items can be removed. The right screen shows a Bookmarks view with the same edit controls over a grid of bookmarked posts, reinforcing that the multi-select removal interface works consistently across different parts of the app.

me and the iPad have been enemies a long time but i don't hate this that much.

Screenshot of a three-column Bluesky client on an iPad. The left column shows the Following timeline with a vertical icon sidebar, including posts from Erin Kissane and The New York Times. The center column displays the Mutuals feed, featuring a video post at the top and a selfie posted by Tyler on Film below. The right column is the Explore page with a search bar, trending topics such as “Epstein Survivors,” “Big Brother,” “Republican Debate,” “Mitch McConnell,” and “BB28,” plus a list of recommended links underneath. The interface uses a clean white layout with rounded cards and a floating compose button in the lower-right corner.

two sundays ago, i thought "well i'll design a nice settings view in burton. how hard could this possibly be?" very.

Screenshot of the Burton app Settings screen in dark mode on an iPhone simulator.

Below are settings rows for Services / Integrations, Behavior, Appearance, and Notifications. A Custom App Icon section shows selectable icons labeled Default, Gold, 8-Bit, and Big Boi, with Default selected. A subscription card with a sky, rainbow, clouds, and butterflies is partially visible at the bottom.

Screenshot of the Burton app Appearance settings screen in dark mode on an iPhone simulator. At the top is a preview post from Burton reading, “Sometimes I think we should all take this advice to heart: ‘Make great apps, take really long naps’ — @charliewil.co.” Below it is an Accent Color picker with multiple color swatches, with a coral red swatch selected. The Theme section shows three large options: Device Theme, Dark, and Light, with Device Theme selected. A Typography section is partially visible, showing a Loose Line Height toggle and font options including San Francisco.

father's day dinner this cake is a dark chocolate almond joy cake

A family-style dinner spread on a wooden dining table featuring bangers and mash with onion gravy, sugar snap peas, roasted carrots, and sliced roast chicken. Bowls of mashed potatoes, gravy, and vegetables are shared in the center of the table, while diners sit around with drinks including Diet Coke, Monster Zero Ultra, and Liquid Death Cherry Obituary. A chocolate layer cake is visible in the background being served for dessert.

A sliced chocolate layer cake with rich chocolate frosting, a coconut cream filling, and toasted slivered almonds scattered across the top. One large slice has been removed, revealing the thick white coconut center between two dark, moist cake layers. The cake sits on a blue serving plate with chocolate frosting smudges around the edge.

Screenshot of Burton’s notifications screen in light mode on iPhone, showing the “All” tab selected next to “Mentions.” The list includes several liked-post notifications, a highlighted reply from Ariel M., and pink star icons along the left side.

still making progress on burton, every day. today was slower — fought off a low-grade anxiety attack, researched iPad navigation patterns, thought through spotty network condition scenarios over dinner out in the country, and started laying necessary architecture in Xcode.

in the ongoing attempt to share more of burton everyday this is the start of the login flow

A mobile “Add Account” screen shown over a cloudy sky and rainbow background. A translucent rounded panel says “Add Account” and “Choose your service.” Four large service cards are shown in a two-by-two grid: Bluesky in blue, Custom PDS in orange and yellow, Blacksky in black and purple, and Eurosky in white. Each card includes an icon and a small information button.

trying to decide on article embeds for burton

A desktop screenshot showing two side-by-side mockups of a news link preview card, labeled “1” and “2.” Both cards feature the same voting-place image, a CNN headline reading “Takeaways from the primary elections in California, Iowa and elsewhere,” a short article excerpt, and a “www.cnn.com” source label. The first design uses a heavier, more modern sans-serif headline, while the second uses a serif headline style.

Below the composer are buttons for adding media, taking a photo, adding other content, and inserting a GIF, plus a reply setting labeled “Anyone can reply.” The iOS keyboard is open with suggestions for “Design,” “Designs,” and “Designed.”

visited blarney castle today, found a cave called the witch's kitchen

Small stone chamber with rough, moss-covered walls and a flat stone slab sealing a low opening at the back; gravel covers the floor.

Narrow passage between tall rock walls, leading toward daylight with tree branches arching overhead and a gravel path underfoot.

Medieval stone castle with a square tower and battlements beside a smaller round tower ruin, set behind a hedge under a clear blue sky.
