Time to ask for some help from the community!

The launch of Photo Scout is getting close, and it's time to start giving it to the media.

If you know of anyone in the media who might be interested in covering an indie-built iOS app for anyone who loves to be creative with a camera, please do point me their way. TestFlight is ready to go.

I've updated the pre-release website with more info and a comprehensive press kit: https://photo-scout.app

Boosts really appreciated! ❤️

IT IS DONE.

I have finally “finished" and written up the "it'll just be a couple of weeks!” project that I started in December, exploring the idea of writing a Windows app in C# that calls into a cross-platform Swift codebase.

It's been quite the journey 😅, and if you find this sort of thing interesting I'd appreciate it if you'd check it out and give it a boost.

Packing for WWDC. This will be my first long haul flight (11hrs!) since getting my Vision Pro. Which means I needed to download some long, epic movies to try watching with Travel Mode.

Really there was only one choice…

@_Davidsmith Fingers crossed!🤞

@_Davidsmith Good luck! I got a bit 😵‍💫 after watching Dune (2.5h) in the Vision Pro the other day.

Travel Mode worked great for me on the plane though. It's a game-changer for entertainment on long-haul flights!

I never quite figured out if the Kylie Minogue song "Dancing" is about going out clubbing, or about the inevitability of death.

"When I go out, I wanna go out dancing."

Is it:

(I wanna) (go out dancing)

Or:

(I wanna go out) (dancing)

I've had a couple of weeks flooded with positivity and good vibes thanks for a lovely trip to New York then Chicago for @DeepDishSwift.

Time to balance that out by making my code style guidelines public so people on the internet can tell me how much of an awful person I am: https://github.com/Cascable/guidelines/wiki/Code-Style-Guidelines

As a hobby, 3D printing brings me so much joy.

We got a writing desk with a window into one of the drawers, and I made some ink bottle holders so I can display my inks nicely alongside my pens.

Each one of these holders took 8 hours to print, so maybe a new printer is in my future. Still, it's so cool!

(Forgive the dark images, I won't see the sun outside work hours until March now)

A glass window in a black desk. Through the window is a display case of fountain pens next to two rows of ink bottles in the 3D printed holders.

Swift on Windows day 1:

A bit of a bumpy start, but once I had an environment going things worked remarkably well. @davedelong's great Time library compiled and passed nearly all of its tests without modification, for instance.

This afternoon I got a Visual Studio C++ project calling into Swift code, which was a pretty awesome baby step towards my eventual goal of shipping a cross-platform Swift SDK to the Windows platform.

Meeting many of my Internet friends in person – especially the fellas – and making many new ones at Deep Dish Swift was one of the best experiences of my life. I’m tearing up a little typing this. I’ve avoided in-person developer communities ever since college; too self-serious for my taste. That mindset carried through to this community even though I know it’s a self-selecting group of people that I have vibed with for a long time.

    @schwa I know exactly which form you’re filling out from that screenshot 🙃

    Would you be interested in trying an early TestFlight Mac build of my tethering app https://cascable.se/ios/? It’s very much an iPad app in a box at the moment (working on better Mac interoperability over the coming months), but it might get you where you want to go for now.

    Apropos of nothing.

    Do I know anyone with a frame.work (@frameworkcomputer) laptop?

    Read horrible things about their bendy screen bezels.

    ikenndac,
    @ikenndac@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa I have a Framework 13 w/AMD and I really like it. Fit and finish on mine is great considering the modularity and the fact that I put it together (DIY edition).

    Not quite up to MacBook Pro levels, but getting up there and way better than most Windows laptops I’ve seen (granted, those were probably cheapo ones).

    ikenndac,
    @ikenndac@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Good luck! I'm super excited that I'll be able to upgrade my unit to the new better display later this year.

    @schwa Not bad in my opinion, but I’m not super sensitive to it (I know some folks can’t bear a whisper). Putting it into Windows’ low power mode shuts the fan up more or less completely.

    I put in some PTM7950 (https://www.lttstore.com/products/ptm7950-phase-change-thermal-pad) which improved thermal performance a bit, too.

    @ivory Do you have a method of linking purchases across Apple IDs? I'm in the EU and subscribed but am forced to use a US Apple ID in my Vision Pro. It'd be really nice to use Ivory without paying twice.

    Hopefully the US-only restriction will be lifted soon 🤞

    ikenndac,
    @ikenndac@mastodon.social avatar

    @ivory I set up Family Sharing and it works for Carrot Weather but not for Ivory for whatever reason. I have the "iOS, iPadOS + macOS Yearly Sub" that I originally purchased in the Mac version, I think.

    ikenndac,
    @ikenndac@mastodon.social avatar

    @ivory Do you have the ability for a user to extract the App Store receipt from the app? I'm interested to see what's in there - maybe the other app is syncing my receipt via iCloud.

    Now that was a tight flight connection. Let’s hope our luggage also made it. 🤞

    ikenndac,
    @ikenndac@mastodon.social avatar

    Update: Two of our three suitcases made it. The one with all the expensive stuff in it (i.e., Vision Pro box, etc) didn’t.

    I’m very glad I brought the Vision in my hand luggage!

    ikenndac,

    Our final suitcase arrived home a day later than we did, and… oh, no! Jailbreak!
