Henlo v2 is now available on an App Store near you.

https://apps.apple.com/app/henlo/id1643404410

Henlo helps you stay in touch with those you care about.

Import people directly from your contacts, set an interaction frequency, and let Henlo remind you when it's time to reach out again.

I think it's pretty good. Give it a spin!

People who equate the hype surrounding AI with that of Web3 have no idea what they're talking about.

"I’m a stern believer that software design is a craft, not an art. There are artsy aspects to it, but for most of the time, rules can and should be followed. They’re flexible and complex, but not inexistent."

Dear Vision Pro owning and programming friends, I have a question about Sandwich's new app.

The promo video shows them placing a television on a surface. Apparently with surface snapping. I thought that's only available in full-immersion spaces. Apps in that mode don't allow multitasking though. But then they show windows of different apps.

How? Did I miss something?

Since Photoshop, no design tool has allowed designers to truly customize their work environment.

Figma's immense focus on design systems and complex prototyping broke something in my relationship with it. It's... too much. Everything is so weirdly complicated now.

It might just me getting older but I'm trying to keep up and use branching and variables and everything, but it somehow switched from allowing me to work better to me having to think A LOT about the tool I'm using to design.

Just me? Am I becoming a "back in ye olden days everything was better" grumpy old man?

I might be delusional or completely unhinged, but reading a post by @jimniels made me rethink my potential future, and honestly, it feels quite exciting.

I worked through all of @bastianallgeier's Kirby videos and read most of the documentation and started to build a new marcel.io based on Kirby.

For what I want to do it feels so much better than Astro already. SO many easy affordances, it's really impressive.

Plus: I managed to create an RSS feed that contains images without having to jump through 300 hoops.

It's my first time working with PHP, which feels a bit weird still but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon.

Procreate is one of the best iOS apps ever made. Procreate Dreams seems to take it up a notch.

People who never spend time digging into Procreate don't understand just how well-made and perfect for its users it is. It's incredible. This is the company we should celebrate for excellence in app development. Unfortunately, their target audience is just a little too specific and mostly not comprised of people in tech.

Just look at this:
