I don't mean to brag but

A screenshot of a thread from 2 months ago:

My original appreciation for Little Guys™️ started with this Little Guy™️

Shy Guy from the Mario Universe

Sam Clemente @samclemente.me · 30/09/2026

Okay you cannot harness mechahitler into this Little Guy Friend-shaped, is not friend

The grok bot app icon, which is a little white blob with black oval eyes kinda like a shy guy

Notion–style pages w/ dots??

Uh, captain? I think we missed the exit

Okay we can all agree that iPhones mono shouldn’t always have the sideways UI, right?

A sceeenshot of my iPhone Air turned sideways showing Quill’s sidebar with a metric fuck ton of wasted space and you can only see 1/3 of a post

Sam Clemente @samclemente.me · 26/09/2026

I say do it in my totally unbiased opinion

Monty Python: "Five is right out."

Sam Clemente @samclemente.me · 25/09/2026

This actually does look pretty good though

A screenshot of the new ChatGPT app with Codex open to The Social Wire with a diff open. The new UI features an outer rail in addition to the sidebar. The whole thing looks more like a browser than before, complete with browser-style tabs on the right pane.

Corner radii go brr

A screenshot of the updated ChatGPT showing the concentric rounded rectangles have the same corner radius, which makes the inner rectangle look like it doesn't fit

I don't know why, but this post is giving me "(GONE) (STOLEM)" vibes

Fixed it, @jcsalterego.bsky.social

Quill's trusted verifier tab, but now there's a toggle that let's you disable Jerry's verification

Sam Clemente @samclemente.me · 24/09/2026

Fully custom verifiers, anyone?

Needs tweaking but it’s working on a local build after just about 27 hours of realizing I wanted to build it

Because the home screen customization tool uses the weather app's icon and the weather app isn't loaded onto iPhone Duo's simulator, there just...no icon

Here's the stansite embed I've mocked up for Quill, just need it to load faster

A link embed showing the thumbnail and title of the article, but because it's a stansite embed it's also showing the publication name and author's account, below the card are "read" "view publication" and "subscribe" actions

Expanded label viewer for Quill

Oh this is what this app looks like so far on a normal phone, btw

I’ve been struck with the Mark of the Poaster

Label showing I made over 30 posts in the past 24 hours

Sam Clemente @samclemente.me · 22/09/2026

lol

A screenshot of a “Translate Post” screen, dark mode, on a foldable phone. The “Original” section holds the post text up top, but where the translation should be, there’s just… nothing — an empty pane where the app has quietly given up and returned no translation at all. The one time you actually want the robot to do its little language trick, it stares back blankly like it didn’t hear the question. It claims that "Cavendish are stupid" has triggered the model's safeguards

A hand-drawn diagram on a black background comparing the “Level of Privacy” you expect from that “don’t show my account to logged-out users” setting versus what you actually get. Two identical white spectrums run left to right, each with three tick marks: “Public Account” (labeled “Least Private”) on the far left, “Public Account w/ This Setting” somewhere in the middle, and “Private Account” (labeled “Most Private”) on the far right. The top line is labeled “Level of Privacy (expectation)” and shows the setting sitting comfortably in the middle, like a reasonable halfway point. The bottom line is labeled “Level of Privacy (reality)” and shows the exact same setting scooted way over to the left, practically hugging “Public Account” — because on an open network, asking apps nicely not to show your posts is still basically shouting them in public.

This is, once again, why I only let Xcode touch SwiftUI
