$600MRR → 🗑️ 500 reviews, 4.7/5 → 🗑️ 10K users → 🗑️ After 2 years on App Store, I've just relaunched Drylendar as a new product to help people control their alcohol consumption. ✅🍷🍷✅🍷✅✅ How many time before reaching previous app's metrics? 👀

🚀 1 evening → 1 product 🚀 Apple moved the volume control in macOS Tahoe from center to top-right. On a laptop it’s fine. On a 6K display? Not so much. So I built Pure Volume Control: ✅ Centered volume HUD ✅ On all your screens ✅ Liquid glass design 🔗 apps.apple.com/us/app/pure-... #buildinpublic

Some users asked for a Black & White filter. Perfect excuse to bring back the iconic iOS 6 toggle. I love turning small requests into thoughtful design moments, this one was fun to build! Now live in the Scan app. Try it out? apps.apple.com/us/app/scan-... #buildinpublic #design #user_experience

What a book! Thanks for writing this, @jmechner.bsky.social. It’s the first time I’ve read a book about product/game creation that also talks a bit on Go. My two passions combined in one book! Feels like you’re saying: “You’re on the right path; you can do both!” 😊

Go is one of the oldest known board games in human history, originating in China over 4,000 years ago and still played worldwide today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)

I learned coding with Objective-C 😍 - I remember that time when I see this kind of piece of code.

Maybe we can use your idea about the shield window and the ignoresMouseEvents property. WDYT? 🤔

Julien Lacroix @julien.do · 06/01/2025

Do we have sound design? 🤩

Can't wait to see what kind of sound design you will use. 😊

Thanks to #SwiftUI 's powerful graphics APIs, I am this close to retiring my copy of Photoshop CS6 for good 🤏

I love using AI at work to optimise my time. However, I enjoy writing everything on my own for my side projects.
