I got into cocktails during COVID and ended up with a shelf full of bottles I didn't know what to do with. So I built an app for that. Today's the day! Spritz is available on the App Store. Bar inventory, recipe matching, and an AI mixologist. Cheers 🍸 #Cocktails apps.apple.com/us/app/spritz-...

Heading home from @deepdishswift.com having met some amazing people and heard some amazing talks. Have a lot of ideas to process on the drive home. Even though this is my first developer conference, I feel like this one's gonna be hard to top.

Made this to do brackets with the kids. Big buttons with team logos and mascots and a print feature. Nothing fancy but could be handy for anyone wanting to fill out brackets with kiddos. #MarchMadness bracketbuddy.austinzani.dev/

I am so excited. Just pulled the trigger on a ticket for @deepdishswift.com! I am so excited to go hear all the talks and meet others that are passionate about developing for Apple platforms. Been wanting to go for years. Now just need to get my app I'm working on in the store by then!

Albums I listened to in high school having their 20th anniversary might be one of the first times I started feeling old. Anyone remember the website PureVolume? I listed to this Panic At The Disco in our high school library on that site #music music.apple.com/us/album/lyin...

A lot of quality memes today about Zac Taylor being the last coach standing in the AFC North. As a Bengals fan I just gotta choose to laugh and stay positive.

This article from @mergesort.me has been super helpful in looking at codex differently and I am excited to give it another go since my last honest shot a couple months back. build.ms/2025/12/22/codex-vs-...

Codex vs. Claude Code (Today)

Every AI tool has its strengths and weaknesses, and the only way to discover what they are is by using them.

Austin Zani @zaniad.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Excited coming into the new year about building software with all the AI tools at our fingertips but it can feel daunting to keep up. As a heavy Claude user I had heard a lot of people talking about how good Codex has gotten but had trouble breaking my mental model on how I interact with Claude.

I hate when companies print a label for a shipment and you get notified of it but they don't send it for several more days. It's an offense that should be punishable by death.

Austin Zani @zaniad.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

I pulled the trigger and ordered a #3Dprinter. So excited for it to come in a couple weeks. Doing research of what I want to print but any recommendations from others who have one already is appreciated. Looking for functional upgrades to our house or my office/standing desk but I'll take anything.

Finally shipped my first app to the App Store. Feels like yesterday I was working at the Apple Store when the App Store launched. The App Store has always been such a magical place to me.

Just as big a problem is Duke Tobin who is in charge of player personnel. They both need to go. As a Bengals fan who has been through a lot I can’t remember being this sad midseason ever.

Haven't posted much about it but been really enjoying working on my app for the @revenuecat.com #ShipATon. It is a cocktail recipe book that you can track your inventory and generate new recipes with AI from what you have in stock or let it surprise you.

Putting the finishing touches on my app Tides and I am working on the App Store copy and screens. Are there any tools for making those App Store images easily? As someone that is not a designer a template I can put my copy and screenshots into would be huge. #iosdev #buildinpublic #swiftui

Spent some time doing some product planning for my #Shipaton app. Using Claude Code with some custom commands to put together a folder with JSON and Markdown files that I can use as guides for AI as I iterate through. Need to spend a little more time reviewing but on first pass it feels promising.

Excited about being able to participate in the RevenueCat Shipaton this year! I have my Journaling app that is basically ready to go to the App Store that I have been working on but I think I am gonna ship that in July and start on a new idea I have had for a while. #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

If I had my way every person who utters the word "sportsball" would be completely ostracized and shunned from society
