This is it, the best use case for the Action Button (sound on).

Me pressing the action button, which plays a fart noise. I know, it’s dumb, not even that funny, but hey, I decided to TOOT it anyways!

Thwip is now available on iOS 🎺
It's a fun soundboard app that let's you import your own custom sounds, interactive widgets, and StandBy support.

There's also a custom "Web Shooter" mode on watchOS (hence the name).

Hi, meet Spatialty Coffee!

It's an Apple Vision app that lets you discover and follow some of the best filter coffee recipes in a new spatial experience, makes you feel like a barista from the future 🤖☕

https://spatialty.coffee →

Screen recording of what it’s like to use Spatialty Coffee with Apple Vision. You can see a list of recipes in a window floating in front of you, it features recipes for some of the most popular home brewers like Aeropress, Chemex, V60, and French Press. You can then see a recipe with steps, and I start making coffee. I also open a video from the app, where you can see the barista walking you through the process.

Updated #Introduction ✨

I’m Rafa! I'm a designer and app developer living in Amsterdam.

Nowadays I spend most of my time working at @Sketch, building Hand Mirror for Mac, and being the best parent I can be to my beautiful son ☀️

Video recording of my personal website, you can see a video of me jumping from behind the page and wave, and then there’s several sections each corresponding to a piece of work: Sketch, Hand Mirror, HiDock, Along, Netlify, Booby Track, Break this Safe, etc…

Woah, you can see the Las Vegas GP track, pit lane, and even #F1 cars on Apple Maps right now 🏎️

Screen recording of Apple Maps, where I zoom in on Las Vegas where you can see the track limits of the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Then I zoom in the pit building, where it’s rendered in 3D with tiny little F1 cars on the track. It’s adorable.

It’s one accessory Michael.
What could it cost, $200 dollars?

I might be writing a new app (scratching my new Vision itch).

I'm gonna call it “Spatialty Coffee”, browse coffee recipes in #visionOS. Best thing is that you can leave it in the kitchen 😅

“Hi Big Mario”

Video of me playing with my son, there’s a “big” Mario and a “little” Mario, and I’m using Thwip to play sound effects from the Mario games

What’s your main text editor?
(more options in thread)

My two-year old loves Zootopia, and he calls it “Bunny and Fox”, but he actually pronounces it “Money and Fuck”.

I spend a lot of time explaining this to people.

Made a small internal tool to test the different macOS Materials, and you can download it too if you'd like ✨

→ http://rafa.design/materials

Screen recording demo of a small internal tool / app that I’ve made to test the different macOS materials (blurs). It’s a window with the Sonoma wallpaper as the background, and in the middle there’s a rounded rectangle with a blue, there’s a toolbar in the corner where you can select different materials, chose a color, and switch between dark/light mode and you can preview it immediately. You can also drag and drop any image in the window to use that as the background.

I’m looking for folks to help test a new feature for @handmirror 🎤👀

→ https://testflight.apple.com/join/bnUjZUkE

Screen recording of a macOS menu bar, and then I click on the Hand Mirror icon, my unfortunate face appears, I pretend to “check my hair” because that’s what Hand Mirror is for I guess… but then I say “check check”, and act surprised to see a new audio meter icon in the corner, that responds to my audio. There’s a lot of me pretending to be surprised by that, it’s called acting. Bad, acting. In the end I do some jazz hands in the direction of the icon, because I was nervous and didn’t know how to end the video… I now wish I didn’t do that.

Pinch me, @flarup didn’t realize I was an imposter and included my work in “the macOS App Icon Book” — dreams do come true ✨

Loved this bit where Bill Atkinson explains why do we have “OK" and “Cancel" on #Mac dialogs — “Dolt? I'm no dolt”.
