My favorite metric for a successful @launchedfm.com episode is the amount of laughter in it, and @jagcesar.bsky.social and @fosiadesign.bsky.social served those up in spades 😅 This was such a fun one!

Our apps have used CloudKit as backend since forever, but we've decided it's time to move on. We already migrated Lysten, our podcast player, and next up is Ambre. Check out our blog post for details on why CloudKit rocks, and why we're leaving it. 👇 blog.ambi.se/leaving-clou...

We've embraced agentic coding by automating the whole path from ticket to TestFlight. In practice: we create a ticket, hand it to an agent, and a few cups of coffee later the fix is live for our beta testers. Here's how we built it 👉 blog.ambi.se/agentic-tick...

My latte art is getting better! And it’s sooooo tasty 🤤

We try to reply to all App Store reviews for our apps, but the push notifications from the App Store Connect app aren't great. So I vibe coded a solution a couple of days ago, and look here. It works! 😁 I haven't read or written a single line of code.

Oh! What’s the reason? Career, love or something else?

Tonight’s dinner is Lardiata made with guanciale. Served with buffalo mozzarella, parmeggiano reggiano and a drizzle of olive oil. Will start posting what I cook, got inspired by @benricem.bsky.social Bon appetit to me! 🤤🤤🤤

Ooooh, interesting! Will look into how you set this up. It’s something we need too, but UITests are too slow. The option is ofc snapshot testing, but its not as trustworthy. :/

hahaha you would've loved my current client! In their app the user can choose to see all timestamps as either time zone of the object they've tapped, current local timezone or UTC. 🫠

Could the circles be golf balls? I guess just a noise layer would give them the uneven-surface-effect? Looks great btw, love the little cart!

Never tried it, will give see if I can order it. We make carnitas every now and then, but from scratch. If you’re into tacos I’ll share the recipe!

Gave our podcast player, Lysten, a small glow up ✨ If you're a podcast listener, or aim to be, please give Lysten a try and hit us with all your feedback! 🎧 #iOS #LiquidGlass

Before image of two screenshots. One showing a feed of episodes in chronological order and a separate section "continue" for started, but not finished, episodes. The other screenshot shows episodes in the detail view of a podcast show.

After image of the same two views in the before image. All episodes have a background color based of the podcast show cover art, bringing a variety of colors. Compared to the light grey background in the before. The cover art for episodes in "Continue" are much bigger and easier to identify. In the podcast detail view, each episode show their specific cover art, instead of the podcast show like before.

We were gonna play some SSX3 on our PS2. But it didn’t read the disc, so we took it apart 🤓

We easily forget about accessibility and the effect it has. Check out my lightning talk for some real-world examples of accessibility and the importance of it. blog.ambi.se/accessibilit...

We all know about the A11y API’s but tend to forget about the user on the other end. For this talk I focused on A11y, from a user perspective.

Cesar Pinto Castillo @jagcesar.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Completely agree. Will consider moving our repos someplace else. Maybe we end up moving it to our self-hosted runner 😆

Cesar Pinto Castillo @jagcesar.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Did I read that right? Is @github.com gonna charge me for using my own self hosted runner I’m already managing and covering all costs for? 😵‍💫 This makes no sense.

Cesar Pinto Castillo @jagcesar.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Either @revenuecat.com can see into the future 🔮, or they have a time bug 😄 @chriswu.com you always come to mind whenever I see time bugs!
