Both Art of Flora and PocketShelf are featured on the App Store 🌸📚

App Store feature card for Art of Flora, labelled "New Update" with the tagline "Cool updates for iOS 27". The artwork shows two line-drawn people on an olive green background, one examining a pressed pink flower illustration with a magnifying glass, the other holding a large botanical print of blue flowers. Below, the app icon (a bird of paradise flower) sits next to the title "Art of Flora: Cozy Puzzles" and the subtitle "Relaxing Flower Plant Jigsaws", with a download button on the right.

App Store feature card for PocketShelf, labelled "Great on iOS 27" with the tagline "Reading reinvented". The illustration shows a cartoon boy with blond hair and glasses reading an open book on a dark green background, with icons for a character portrait, a map pin, a potion, a sword and a speech bubble floating out of the pages. Below, the app icon (a wooden bookshelf) sits next to the title "PocketShelf: TBR Book Tra..." and the subtitle "Reading List, Shelf, AI-Notes", with a download button on the right.

Story Time! In 2019, a blind gamer called Casey posted on Twitter that there were very few great games she could play on the school bus as a blind person. I saw that tweet and sent her a code for my game Subwords via DM. I just hoped she might enjoy my little word puzzler.

This year was my 9th time at #WWDC 😱 It's even crazier if you break down the occasions: 🧊 2 x Apple Design Award winner (2015, 2025) ⭐️ 2 x Apple Design Award finalist (2022, 2023) 🎓 3 x Scholarship winner (2017, 2018, 2019) 😎 2 x Regular attendee (2024, 2026) 🤞 to get my tenth badge next year! 🥳

The badges span multiple years, displayed left to right: WWDC26, WWDC25, WWDC24, WWDC23, WWDC22, WWDC19, WWDC18, WWDC17, and WWDC15. Each is printed with the name “Klemens” or “Klemens Strasser,” with several marked “Scholar” or “Scholarship.” The lanyards are various colors—black, orange, grey, light blue, blue, and red—and several are printed with text including “WWDC19 Scholarship Winner” ad "Apple Design Award Winner 2015"

Excerpt from the article, reading:

"The BHL Flickr album is followed by tens of thousands of people and highlights some of the more unusual copyright-free illustrations in its collection (some of which have been turned into an award-winning jigsaw puzzle app, The Art of Fauna)."

The subheading reads “Special Issue — Graz, Wednesday, April 1 — 1.90€.” The main image shows a dark, dramatic close-up of a large serpentine or plesiosaur-like creature emerging from mist, overlaid with the headline: “A Breakthrough Discovery Stuns the Wildlife Community Worldwide.” Large bold lettering reads “THEY EXIST.“
