While thinking about my feelings towards this year's WWDC I was struck by how grateful I am to be a part of this community. A community which spurs me on towards doing better and better work.

I tried to capture this feel in writing, to see if I could summarize what I think makes the indie app community so special. After a lot of thought I think it came down to two ideals I regularly see valued here: Craftsmanship and Consideration.

Today is a special day in Apple history.

5 years ago today, Warren Buffet’s Paper Wizard debuted on the App Store.

It's my favorite bit of weird Apple history next to the App Review Guidelines comic book.

It’s also why app preservation is important because it's a small slice of app history that is no longer available on the App Store.

Panic co-founder @cabel recently gave a talk at GDC all about the creation of Playdate, and GDC has just made it available for free! It's got a lot of never-before-heard stories. It's also, in a way, about more than Playdate…

We really hope you enjoy it. https://gdcvault.com/play/1034707/The-Playdate-Story-What-Was

Like many developers I’m super excited about the Vision Pro. So today I am bringing my app @bridges as a native visionOS app 😊. If you save links for a weekly newsletter or a podcast you need Bridges.

@michaelsteeber I’m sure you’ve seen this, but BitMaps is featured in the What’s New section of the App Store — congrats! 🎈

Yesterday, I spent a few hours building an app for measuring distances in AR on an Apple Vision Pro. Mostly for the fun of it and to get better acquainted with RealityKit 😃

It's a rough prototype, and I haven't even been able to test it on a device yet, but if you're brave and would like to try it out, it's on TestFlight now 🫣 😄

Vision Directory is a nice little site for browsing visionOS apps from anywhere.

Colors not final. But I’m almost done with the new theming for @Longago ! It was a huge refactor but had the chance to cleanup and improve the interactions all over the place.

Heavily influenced by classic iOS Apps that I really loved. All #swiftui
