Yet another app: Tabs to Links (https://apps.icymi.lol/post/tabs-to-links)

@esamecar wow, I did the icon for this app. Totally forgot I worked on it!

For some inexplicable reason, South Coast Plaza is using a solid color version of the 1977 “wobbly" Apple logo used in extremely early marketing materials. Baffling but charming. http://thebrainfever.com/apple/the-lost-apple-logos-you-ve-never-seen

A six-color, wobbly Apple logo.

It feels amazing to report a bug in a Swift package and literally have a fix waiting in my inbox when I wake up. This community is so great.

I don't want a Rabbit R1, but seeing videos of it reinforces how much I want to write software for extremely tiny, handheld hardware. I think about it almost every day. Is the Playdate the only accessible platform that allows this today?

@whatthecj Wow. This is SO cool!

@whatthecj the problem is that I really do not have time for another hobby 🤪

@stroughtonsmith Oooh, GB Studio. I thought about this for writing a game for Delta, but never for actual hardware.

Never thought I’d say this, but the Facebook Marketplace algorithm is just excellent. An oasis compared to every other Meta property.

Interesting, my App Store Browse impressions for BitMaps completely collapsed overnight. I assume this means I finally rotated off some collection visible on the front page. The search impressions are.. sobering 😅

Anyone working on a Pippin emulator? Think it would pass app review? It's definitely a retro console, but you'd have to redistribute Apple source code 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pippin

@cabel the iPod had games too!

I don't know if this is just a U.S. thing, but over the past five years it's become almost impossible to purchase plain puffed wheat cereal in a grocery store. The last chain here finally stopped stocking it. There are essentially two suppliers offering it for extremely inflated prices on Amazon, but elsewhere it's a completely extinct product. I’m out of unsweetened cereals!

@tchaten cream of wheat/rice is decent, but it's not really substitute for dry cereal. Only other one I can think of that's still around is shredded wheat. Not great for kids :(

@lokan yep. There are essentially zero options that are just a grain.

I've been trying to push the bounds of the visionOS interface a bit and came up with this really nice split view for BitMaps.

A screen recording of the split view in BitMaps.

This is on TestFlight now. If you have a Vision Pro and want to try it, let me know.

@reftonull cool!

This is a ZStack with two HStacks. The first has a Spacer and the details view, the second has the map and a flexible Spacer. When you show details, I animate the spacer width and the opacity, blur, and depth of the details view. The window has a hidden NavigationTitle that I use to access the underlying UIWindowScene. Then I'm expanding and contracting the minimum window size with requestGeometryUpdate.

michaelsteeber,
@michaelsteeber@mastodon.social avatar

The details view is a NavigationStack with a path that I update based on the map selection for programmatic navigation.

I wrote about the fascinating history of Apple Watch shops, the pop-up spaces Apple opened to launch the first Apple Watch in 2015: https://michaelsteeber.substack.com/p/shop-talk-apple-watch

@frijole wow! I love that third photo.

@joshh I've been thinking about that too. I bet it reinforced their decisions, but those high-profile store projects are such longterm endeavors that I’m fairly confident they were already committed to opening in those locations before the watch shops opened. There were probably already preliminary plans drawn for some of the stores.
