Need to think about these horizontally scrolling sections on the iPhone Duo — they look great on a traditional iPhone screen, but the way they go beneath the side toolbar on the Duo is pretty awkward. Anyone else have a similar scenario they've found a good solution for? #iPhoneDuo #indiedev

Have some work to do to support the iPhone Duo cleanly, but overall not bad. I think everything I change here should benefit the iPad Wish the simulator had more than just Settings and Safari to use for inspiration — will be surfing the socials this weekend!

Had an idea yesterday. Built a prototype last night. Used it successfully today. Purchased a domain tonight… Coming next month… 👀

Hey #IndieDev's — I'm looking for some iPad design inspiration. Have any iPad apps in mind that you love the design for?

Playing around with some interesting designs and interactions for Bills to Budget 2.0 — this rework of the Calendar view is very promising. I had an epiphany recently about some calendar and visualization improvements that I’m exciting to start using - not sure if this will make a September…

Codex ran through my screenshots earlier, which is all automated via UI tests, but still took 2.5 hours. When I reviewed them, however, all of the iPad screenshots have the app in a window instead of fullscreen, and need to be redone. I think Codex hates screenshots as much as I do right now.
