Late Night Beard Elemental #doodle (via potato.horse) www.potato.horse/p/3Qu0ibZGAN... I tried to grow a beard once, then cut it after six months; no one noticed. To beard is not my gift. I have an uncle—the beard of the family. Come to think of it, he *is* mostly beard. Nihil in natura perit.

Left: Vibe coded a tiny web app to extract colour palettes from movies. It works pretty well! If I re-write it from scratch, I'll post it here. Right: Wada Sanzo's Dictionary of Colour Combinations (In other words: I'm fighting the urge to add more themes to Ensō – this is my way of channeling it)

OK, so... I accidentally bumped the short app version to a really high number and pushed it to AppStore Connect. Is it bad? I feel like (knowing Apple) this is bad, and I'll learn about it really late. #macos #indiedev #apple

First 1½ bug fixes just arrived: 1) dead-key input works fine now (I was too clever with preventing the user from selecting/editing text) This has been the most common error report I've seen on TestFlight so far.

OK, I didn't expect HN front page for this post! I'll read the comments... after lunch. (I've been very lucky with the Orange Site as people have generally been very kind, but Ensō is my favourite baby, so I'm feeling a bit anxious, ok, protective about it) news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4442...

I'm starting to feel quite happy withe new version of Ensõ. It's even simpler than the previous one, supports OLED friendly themes, native menus, and... the coffeeshop mode! Calling the version sigma because it feels more Keanu than Hasselhoff. DM if you want to try it out!

I couldn't stop thinking about how Fervour handles mental illness: as a story characters tell about each other, never disclosing about themselves. This mirrors the dynamics of dysfunctional families (and of the family at its core) where unreliable narrators abound #booksky #bookreview #mentalhealth

Mental illness in Toby Lloyd's debut novel, Fervour, plays out like a game of broken telephone.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - His partner Émile Mollins can't be there -- he's in another apartment with another man who's showing him a dead dog under the radiator. “It's dead,” Mollins says. “No,” the man replies. “I touched him. He's warm.”
