iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We managed to squeeze in one last feature for Delta 2.0: DLC for Pokémon games! You can now download custom DLC for games like Pokemon Emerald to interact with @shanegill.io and I as NPCs, and even receive rare event items or Pokemon in return (and all made without AI 🙂)

There’s definitely been a small (but noticeable) shift in how Apple’s treated us this past year; I’m hopeful it’s indeed a sign their approach to alternative marketplaces is evolving

As for actually playing games, yeaaahhh gonna need to update basically _all_ the skins to not be over the crease 😅 Which also means I need to figure out how to update Delta’s skin format to support that, since it currently assumes a constant 19.5:9 aspect ratio for all iPhones without Home buttons…

Finally have a chance to play with Duo simulator — pretty happy with how Delta’s game library adapts to different poses! Wondering if the custom page control would make more sense as a vertical bar though 🤔

hey so Inkwell, my @standard.site app for iOS and Android are now available via @altstore.io and F-Droid! inkwell.ewancroft.uk#download

a promotional graphic for the Inkwell app on its website. It features the text "Get Inkwell" at the top, followed by "No App Store, no Play Store — Inkwell installs straight from its own hosted sources, and updates ship the moment they're built." Below this, there are two sections: one for iOS via AltStore and one for Android via F-Droid, each with a green download button and installation instructions.

Ternus it is! I’m legitimately hopeful Apple uses this an opportunity to rethink its approach to developers and regulatory issues — but will take time to see if that’s true www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/04/tim-…

The problem with Meta’s business model is that they’re beholden to shareholders, not their community. We are not publicly traded, we are publicly FUNDED. Mastodon has no incentive to keep you addicted. Our incentive is to make you happy, and help you build friendships, because it’s the right […]
