Cupertino bound!

Slowly watching my connecting flight layover shrink with delays so hopefully I make it there today 🤞😅

Also, if you’re in-town but don’t have a fancy golden ticket (like me 🥺) join me at the @WWDCCommunity x @iosdevhappyhour keynote watch party!

It’s way more fun watching with a bunch of other nerds 😅 This was the Vision Pro reaction last year

If you're going to be in-town next week for WWDC I highly recommend 2 resources to try to take advantage of your time there 👇

My hope for the app icon theming rumor is that Apple simply allows us to expose our existing custom app icons to be switched by simply long pressing on the icon on the Home Screen

Technically they could just do this now since we expose them to the system through a plist file, but hopefully they’ll give us some programmatic options so we can continue to gate them behind a paid tier or unlockable or something

Our last stop on the great tour of Italy is Venice. A city, more than anywhere I’ve been, that rewards wondering around without a goal or direction. Everything looks like a painting

The Cinque Terre were just stunning. Beautiful towns, beautiful hiking, and of course excellent food

Rome may be one of my favorite cities I’ve ever visited. Food is obviously incredible, and every corner you turn is some amazing piece of history and architecture. Definitely a place I want to return to one day

Coming out of my Italian Vacation Fever Dream to say OMG OMG Devin is an ADA nominee 🤯🤯🤯

Now who do I have to bribe at Apple to get a seat to cheer him on in person at the Apple Design Awards? 😅

I got mistaken for being Italian by an Italian and I’ll be riding that high for the rest of this trip

Working from a high speed train in Europe is making me feel like I’m in Mission Impossible. Waiting for a man in a trench coat to sit across from me and offer me a usb drive with a NOC list

Due to some frustration flight shenanigans I ended up with most of the today alone in Milan and an evening tonight alone in Rome

Any recommendations on what to do or where to eat? I already saw the Duomo yesterday

Boarding my plane to Italy 🇮🇹!

Week 1: RevenueCat offsite 😺
Week 2: Vacation in Rome/Cinque Terre/Venice

I’ve got a little extra time on Friday and Saturday morning in Milan where I can hang out so if I’ve got any friends there hit me up!

What's everyone's go-to travel power bank these days?

I have and love the Anker MagSafe one, but I also like to carry a 10,000mAh one for wired recharging or my MacBook and I think I lost mine. Would love one with a built-in USBC cord

I would be amazing if I could “Mac Mirror” from an iPad Pro just like I can from Vision Pro, but it would run from my MacBook sitting closed in my backpack

It would be the perfect portable computer on planes, coffee shops, etc where I’m more than happy to give up the big screen

For anybody who's curious: here's a comparison of the 2024 11in iPad Pro vs the 2018 with the Magic Keyboard and the Keyboard Folio (RIP 😢)

Crazy that you could see the aurora in my backyard all the way down in Missouri last night

Pour one out for the ad director shooting the WWDC opening video of a thousand developers being squeezed by a car crusher into the new "Xcode AI" right now

Is there really not a Smart Folio Keyboard for the new iPad Pro 11in?

1 year ago today I was sitting in an airport on my 1st day as a Dev Advocate at @revenuecat on my way to our offsite to meet the team

Today I’m sitting in an airport heading home from the incredible @DeepDishSwift and looking back on my 1st year at this wild, amazing company

Big group watch parties are the best way to watch an #AppleEvent 😁

My episode of the @DeepDishSwift Slices podcast is out! This may be the most unhinged podcast I’ve ever been a part of 😅

Listen to me horrify @malin and @kaidombrowski with this crime I committed against Italian cuisine 🍕

Looks like I missed out on the 3rd round of WWDC invites 😢

I'll be in town either way and it'll be a blast just like other years without a ticket! But it's kind of embarrassing how much the jealousy stings every time I see someone new get one 😅

Got a little rig for recording short interviews at conferences with stuff I already had lying around

Not sure how well the short shotgun mic will work though. Thinking of picking up one of those wireless lav mics that are all the rage now. Any recommendations? (preferably cheap)
