📅 February 2024: I launched Posters v1 for Vision Pro.

The vision: 🎬 Cinema lobby at home — trending movies on your walls you can interact with.

The reality: visionOS 1.x windows vanished after every restart. A dealbreaker. ❌

I even had to add a ⚠️ warning dialog in v1 with a link to Apple support!

I published an article: 📝 "Why I Stopped Building for visionOS and What Could Bring Me Back"

Written for Apple engineers. I filed radars, too! Then the MKBHD team reached out. 📞

🎙️ Ellis from MKBHD interviewed me about these limitations for the AVP 1-year anniversary.

It turned out I wasn't alone — many developers hit the same walls and users complained.

Then, finally visionOS 26 arrived with persistent spatial widgets. 🎉

Apple listened. ✅ They had actually built it!

VisionOS 26 introduced not just widgets, but also a new perfectly poster-sized widget format – what a coincidence!

Of course, I completely rebuilt Posters from scratch to embrace them. 🔨

Now it finally works: Place multiple posters on your walls. They STAY. 📌

And they auto-refresh trending content every 15min. They survive everything!
