Anyone who uses Spotify interested in trying a @triptunes.bsky.social beta that has the ability to export playlists to Spotify? I didn't add Spotify for a long time due to their anti-indie rules, but found a service that bridges the gap. DM me your email addy and I'll add you to the TestFlight!

Had an established app stuck waiting for review for a week. I had a deadline to hit so decided to try expedited review request hoping it’d be done in a couple days. Ended up going into review 20 mins later and approved in 3 mins?! Weird stuff going on lately.

Added a Trip Tunes feature I’m pretty excited about. DM me your email if you want the TestFlight! I’ve improved how the app finds local artists along your route, and playlists for faraway places have gotten really interesting. So I added an optional wall for sharing them. Thoughts?

Ok...am I losing it completely or did the 1-1 remote labs get a lot thinner this year? Last year I was able to chat with them about ML/Vision and other interesting things. This year I only see the 'please feature my app' or business strategy type of labs. I mean, I get it, but it still sucks.

I've been working on a macOS app to track accomplishments without the weight of a time tracker or TODO list. It's a quick-entry 'where the hell did the time go today?' tool that uses on-device models to summarize work for standups, EOY reviews, etc. Would love some TestFlight users. LMK!

Even tho I use them all day I have very little concept of what makes a good UI for a MacOS app. iOS seems so much easier to feel out. I guess it’s because macOS app UI just doesn’t have a lot of depth - it’s very utilitarian and consistent.

Damn it has been a week between an emergency project at work and a trip to the emergency vet last night. I've not gotten to watch much yet - but there are a few goodies from WWDC that I'm excited to play with. Finally got to install Xc26 and at least my apps build and don't look too crazy 👌

I’ve been super busy so far this week and have not had time to play so far. Is it true that you can’t use Foundation Model Framework without updating your dev machine to macOS 26? I was looking forward to messing with that but that will slow me down. 🙁

A month ago if you played a single song in Apple Music, it would essentially create a station from that song and continue playing. Now it just loops the song. Am I dreaming or was that a change? Is there some setting that controls it?

Sent messages to my devil-spawn representatives about the DOE and school vouchers (for state reps). Felt fairly pointless but at least it gets tallied? LLMs make customizing these easy. Will follow these up with calls, tho not to Ted Cruz because the revulsion to futility ratio is too much 🤮

First contract of 2025....... falls through. (I'm fine! But always planning 3-6 months in advance is something.) I don't suppose you could use some Swift 6 training/workshops/consultation? I've worked with large teams all the way down to individuals. I'd love to talk!
