Thanks to Shaun for sharing this thoughtful review about using @chronicling to help track his ME/CFS symptoms. As an indie developer, I can absolutely empathise with the app discoverability challenge! #IndieApp

There is an app for everything, if you can find it…

I have been searching for an app, or any solution, that would allow me to compare my activity to the resultant ME/CFS symptoms that appear. It is difficult because symptoms are often delayed and so…

I was kindly gifted an Ooni oven for Christmas, and I’ve been having a great time experimenting with wood-fired pizza 🍕

Learning a slow, hands-on skill feels especially rewarding in the age of LLMs, even if the careers survey I did at school suggested I should never do anything using my hands 😅

In case you missed it, the last few @chronicling updates have added several most requested features - emoji support, customisable reminders, and the grid view.

During December, you can also see your year Chronicled 🎁 #IndieApp

Because clearly the reason I don’t read as much as I’d like is not having enough devices…

Inspired by @snazzyq, I picked up an Xteink X4 and I love it. I was tempted by a BOOX Palma but this is smaller, cheaper and less capable which is exactly what I wanted. Shown next to my Kobo Libra Colour at max brightness for comparison.

The yearly roundup from @chronicling is a lot of fun!

🙂‍↔️ I turned on the head shake to dismiss gesture when I got new AirPods and I’ve found it surprisingly useful. Particularly good while running and I love the little bleep bloop noises it makes as you move from side to side
This is a great showcase of using Shortcuts with Apple Intelligence by @stephenrobles, with links to every example Shortcut included https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wu5X3fqzuk
I Had No Idea Apple Intelligence + iPhone Shortcuts Could Do THIS 🤯
