The very annoying thing about my app Cannot Ignore is that when I'm prepping for a release, I have to make a ton of alarms and wait for them to fire. Real life testing is necessary, but, as it were, annoying. apps.apple.com/us/app/canno... #iOSDev #indiedev #buildinpublic

Worked a bit on Cannot Ignore this weekend - my app where you can automatically get full alarms synced with your calendar or reminders - so that you can choose what metadata you see on the home screen list. Pretty handy. Update coming soon!

I've heard the axiom that any technology, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic. I wonder if a corollary is true: any magic, sufficiently plain, is indistinguishable from nature.

This is great. Got OpenClaw to post this AND it successfully added the alt text. Sent it the text to post and gave it the image and alt text via iMessage and it did the rest

This is fun: working on image-to-3D in addition to text-to-3D. With Image Playground for devices that support it. In Sapling, our LIDAR 3D scanner that also has GenAI.

Among the terrors of programming with AI is that it feels like you have the power to do anything, and therefore, you must do everything. A danger of exponential FOMO, and burnout.

A year ago I set an ambitious goal: Publish on Step Into Vision every day of 2025. Today I reached that goal! It has been an enormous amount of work, but it has been worth every second. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I know there is a lot of work ahead. 2026 is going to be awesome!

Pretty awesome to have Cannot Ignore (my app to automatically sync full alarms to calendar events and reminders) reach #5 for paid utilities (#33 in all paid apps). I think that’s the first time I’ve charted that high. Back down to #11 now apps.apple.com/us/app/canno... #indiedev #iOS

A long time ago I setup my sideproject app portfolio and blog on Squarespace. After about 10 years, I've finally migrated away (and saved $270 per year in the process). I've got the full how-to here: www.cephalopod.studio/blog/migrati... #indiedev #iOSDev

The great thing about AI coding is how productive it makes me feel. I'm actually maybe 30-40% more productive, but it makes me feel 30x more productive when it's generating a giant re-architecture that I will then spend the rest of the week debugging and fixing.
