I left a comfy UX/Eng job at Google to build Quiche Browser and an indie brand around my love for the Web, minimalism, and questionable naming. quiche.industries 📍🇫🇷🇪🇺🛫🗼🇯🇵

I spent the summer prototyping a device that projects information and imbues computing into the real world, I call it the Lightbulb Computer. Full write up and demos at lightbulbcomputer.com Or on YouTube: youtu.be/0R-9qkjPEqg

The Lightbulb Computer — Reimagining Spatial & Ambient Computing with Projectors
A new direction for computing: projecting information into the real world to augment it, with a device that combines a projector and computer vision in the shape of a large lightbulb.

It's mind-boggling how clunky almost all 3rd-party iOS browsers are. Here's my little Quiche Browser vs Brave, Edge, Firefox, and Vivaldi... Look at how the photo jumps abruptly as the toolbar collapses and expands, everywhere but in Quiche Browser.

More experiments on iPhone Duo's outer display: A&B: Vertical toolbar + bottom or top primary toolbar. C&D: Time moved to the top, minimal toolbar (shows menu on tap), and full-width web page. D goes further by completely hiding the front camera. Apple designers might hate these. Ship or skip?

First video of Quiche Browser on iPhone Duo! It's 80% ready, and the last 20% is dozens of design questions to answer. Very curious to hear everyone's thoughts 👇

Split-screen browsing on Quiche Browser beta for iPad just got A LOT more comfortable, thanks to the new adaptive toolbar rearranging buttons to fit neatly inside narrow windows. (DM me for invites!)

Just submitted the next Quiche Browser update to Apple. Will hopefully be approved before iOS 27 ships on Monday, and then on to building a new customizable vertical toolbar for the iPhone Duo 📱📖

BitCam 2.1 is out! This is a fun one: you can now install a macOS system extension to use BitCam as a camera in Zoom, PhotoBooth, Google Meet, WebEx... any app that lets you pick a camera.

Another nice little byproduct of making Quiche Browser fully resizable on iOS 27: reading in landscape mode will finally become bearable! • The toolbar moves to the top. • Buttons rearrange themselves into one row. • Wide websites fully expand horizontally, without breaking their layout.

Coming later this year to Quiche Browser: • Moving the toolbar out of the way, to the top of the screen. • Top+bottom toolbar layouts, like OG Safari. Maybe like me back then, you thought everyone prefers the toolbar at the bottom nowadays? Well, not according to these angry App Store reviews!

It sounded like a gimmick to me at first, but using iPhone apps in wide size might be my favorite feature of macOS 27 Golden Gate. And with the upcoming adaptive toolbar in Quiche Browser on iOS 27, it feels an inch closer to an actual Mac version. Even iPad keyboard shortcuts are working!

The original Macintosh had a 1-bit black or white screen - but it did not have a "dark mode" Working on BitCam was a fun opportunity to imagine what that could look like!

Coming soon to Quiche Browser: adaptive toolbars! Shrink the app, and it will rearrange your large toolbar into two small ones, so that all your buttons fit on screen.

I wanted BitCam's editor to be a pixel perfect hommage to Macintosh System 1.0 - but what do you do for the Apple logo? It's going to be an instant App Store rejection. The trick? The app ships with a fruit logo, and users who wish to do so can remove a few pixels to make it what it should be.

Firefox, in another one of their user-hostile moves: • Disables their ad blocker on iOS by default. • While their AI features must be opted out of manually. Quiche Browser has no AI features, and blocks Google AI overviews and ads out of the box. Most people don't want any of that nonsense.

It's my favorite time of the year: dropping everything to prepare new features for the next iOS version, which also means redesigning parts of Quiche Browser settings. I've been doing that for a while now and I love the process, but the dread of adding unnecessary complexity is always there. #iOS27

By popular demand, plenty of new actions are now available when long-pressing the address bar in Quiche Browser. Also, the nightmare is finally over: the app no longer opens the Google app when returning to a tab with search results 🎊

Giving a personal shoutout to Quiche Browser by @quiche.industries — if you're sick of Safari (and also, sick of AI search results), replace Safari on your phone with Quiche Browser. I've been using it as my daily driver for about a couple weeks now and it's been really really great.

A niche #iPhone browser quietly fixes my biggest problem with Google Search
Quiche Browser already had me hooked with its obsessive customization. Now it is killing AI overviews in search results by default, and that sealed the deal.

Somehow (I don’t know how), Quiche is way faster and more responsive than Safari on my 6-year-old iPhone 11, even with an ad-blocker installed on Safari. I’ve tried many alternative iOS browsers and this is the only one I’ve ever used that’s worth keeping! So many nice quality of life features.

Starting today, Quiche Browser disables AI overviews in search results by default, out of the box. Compare how much space and time they waste. I love the web too much to let that nonsense bury links to real websites made by humans. Why no other browser does that is beyond me.

Another sneak peek at Quiche Browser's swipe gestures, this time at actual speed. As said previously, fluid and responsive are my main goals. You can do multiple quick swipes in succession without waiting for the previous animation to finish, and without any stuttering.

Quiche Browser's upcoming gestures feel so alive, you can open a tab, catch it mid-flight, and swipe it away before it's even finished opening! Try the same in Chrome: toolbar buttons don't even work until the opening animation has finished 🫠

Quiche Browser's upcoming gestures are fast, fluid, and responsive. Been using them for my own browsing for two weeks now 🎉 Also, tabs no longer stupidly slide from the bottom of the screen! They're properly connected to the Tab Overview, even in List view. Good riddance to that cute amateur vibe.

How do you tell if an iOS browser has responsive gestures?   You should be able to open the list of tabs with a flick, while at the same time swipe-closing the tab you were just reading.   Today, only Safari can pull this off, and Quiche Browser should soon🤞 (Animations slowed down for clarity.)
