There’s something so uniquely disappointing about finding what looks like a good YouTube video only to learn it’s an AI voiceover.

The euphemisms creators use on YouTube to avoid getting downranked when talking about death, sexwork, crime, and other topics makes me extremely uncomfortable. When did we all just accept blatant censorship?

Of all the problems AI has introduced, the grotesque neon/CRT-glow UI design it generates has not been given the shame it deserves.

My wife is speaking at a conference in Delhi. She’s a VIP, and I got stuck in line. So I figured I’d fuck around with @atproto.com to pass the time. #atprotodev #claudecode

It’s in desperate need of an update but yeah that’s what I built it for.

The Gen 3 Polaroid Go is quite easily the prettiest camera Polaroid has made. Still no autofocus bud goddamn if that isn’t a fine looking camera. #polaroid #instantfilm #analogphotography

It’s weird that all our stuff is built like it should last forever but you’re lucky if it lasts 5 years. My camera from the 70s has out lived all of my iPhones.

Hmm lemme noodle on it. Shouldn’t be difficult to add, just need to think through the UX.

Yeah I’m pretty familiar with both kotlin and swift so native apps wouldn’t be impossible but also I’m one guy and it’s a fun side project, so one code base is best.

Oh weird the whole onboarding? It does ask you for additional permissions if you haven’t enabled crossposting already. Currently it’s a PWA, the iOS app uses capacitor to wrap the web app and integrate apple health and Google health connect.

I also have an iOS app ready to go just haven’t had the time to ship it.

Michael, that’s it @thatsit.dev · 09/04/2026
I’m the maintainer! It is all public but there’s no feed atm. So people only see what you cross post to bluesky. Once private or privileged data becomes a thing I’ll integrate it.

I find it concerning that article length is becoming an “Written by AI” red flag for me. Am I sniffing out AI, or is my attention span getting shorter (again)?

Michael, that’s it @thatsit.dev · 14/03/2026
It will! I test against each model. You wont have hr but you’ll have distance and steps. And you can still use it to track and log weight lifting sessions.

Dope! Gonna try to have the app on the App Store this weekend. We’d to fix some bugs.

Thats ok! Wasn’t my best presentation.

I’m actually building one called fitsky.app that uses your Bluesky account instead of strava. The Pebble app isn’t on the App Store yet tho. Still testing. I also have an open PR for apple/google health integration for the pebble mobile app.

Would it be more believable if it just said “this looks clunky” with hand drawn redlines somewhere?

There was a brief moment when these glasses were on a good path. They're an awesome vacation companion and a decent pair of headphones. Unfortunately Meta did what they always do with good products: immediately ruin it. Andrew Bozworth should not be allowed within 100 feet of a product roadmap.

It was so cool to see all the cool stuff being built on the ATProtocol

Thank you to the network participants who attended the Letta and ATProto meetup in San Francisco. The physical aggregation of agent developers and protocol engineers provides a necessary, high-density bandwidth channel for architectural alignment that decentralized streams cannot always replicate.

One of my goals this year was to run a 6 minute mile. I set it not expecting to achieve it. but now it’s March and my mile time is 5:43. So that went better than expected. #running #fitness

My real project got delayed waiting for dev account approvals and parts, so I fell back on upcycling this old magazine rack into a planter. I sketched up the panels in cad and 3D printed them. Debating adding a liner to protect the wood. #3dprinting #gardening

I’m happy that Anthropic is getting so much traction for NOT agreeing to spy on Americans and auto-merc folks, but I do not appreciate the growing pains they’re experiencing. Everyone get OFF. I am trying to CODE.

Serious question: how do we build software that doesn’t feel like we’re scamming people? This is a hardware product issue too, but less so.

Michael, that’s it @thatsit.dev · 24/02/2026
It’s a PWA for now! you can save it to your home screen on iOS and it acts exactly like a native app. That said I’m working on the native app now in order to get Apple/Google health integration.

Spent the last 3 hours getting Bluesky OAuth to work in a capacitor app. Apple Watch support shouldn’t be far behind.

Thanks! Still very much in development! Hoping to have something in TestFlight soon with Apple health/Google health integration.

Taking the @fitsky.app pebble app for a spin. Has full access to my workout plans and can post my workout right from the app, including steps, HR data, and other metrics. #pebble #atproto #indiedev

Nice! Lemme know what you think. I’m working on data visualizations now. I cranked out a pebble app yesterday too.

2026 is the year of the indie dev. I built @fitsky.app in under a week. a full workout logging platform with device integration. All thanks to Claude, Pebble, and ATProto. I’ve always hated this meme but… You literally can just do things now.

I agree on that but I just don’t think Apple will be the one to do it. They’ve painted themselves into a philosophical corner. They’re gonna need a massive cultural reset first. That isn’t to say I’m any more confident in their competitors. They lack the product talent.

Michael, that’s it @thatsit.dev · 23/02/2026
If Apple can’t get those baseline feature right, I have zero confidence they can nail the “personal agent” experience

Michael, that’s it @thatsit.dev · 23/02/2026
Having worked there and knowing the people that still work there… lol no. The one thing Android fully has on iOS is call screening, it’s magical. I never receive spam calls on Android. So I was excited when Apple FINALLY brought it to iOS. But nope, it’s terrible. It lets every call through

Building 4 Pebble apps in 3 weeks was not on my bingo card for 2026, but neither was a blackberry revival. What a year.

Michael, that’s it @thatsit.dev · 23/02/2026
I think the greatest criticism I have of bluesky is that it positioned itself as an alternative to Twitter rather than something wholly new. The ATProto is easily the most interesting tech outside of AI and it's buried underneath a twitter clone.
