Now that the #iOS17 beta has "StandBy," triggered by turning your iPhone to landscape while being charged, I miss the old Plus feature of having a landscape home screen. You unlock your phone, and it's in the wrong orientation.

The iOS share sheet suggestions is basically just a source of entropy. There are few more things random in the universe than those suggestions.

@caseyliss just to echo @marcoarment and @siracusa, strongly recommend NOT putting a “one-time purchase” option in the app. Very few people will use it and the ones that do tend to generate the bulk of support requests and complaints.

Also, consider adding a “I ❤️ Indie Development” subscription option for those who want to give more to show their support. It’ll help make up for any lost revenue for people who don’t want to pay for apps.

I’d happily pay double the subscription to support you.

The replies to @stroughtonsmith’s #showcase thread are better than anything than App Store Today editorials has ever done. I’m flabbergasted by the number of incredibly polished, thoughtful, creative apps. This is what Apple should be showcasing.

This is your periodic reminder to set up (or update) the Medical ID on your iPhone. I thought about it after my car accident last month and was surprised that it was pretty out of date.

(And tell your family. My parents had no idea it was a thing!)

Set up your Medical ID in the Health app on your iPhone

Medical ID helps first responders access your critical medical information from the Lock screen, without needing your passcode. They can see information like allergies and medical conditions as well as who to contact in case of an emergency.

@stroughtonsmith I just released a complete rewrite of my book tracking app Leatherbound.

Switched the database layer over to MongoDB Realm and improved and rethought a bunch of UI/UX while I was at it. Really pleased with the outcome!

Still 100% SwiftUI and available on iOS/iPadOS/macOS.

@stroughtonsmith #showcase I finally released my new Mac app @stempel! You can now finally create files in Finder with right click ► New File. It even allows you to mark the file as executable, for example if you want to create a Python script.

You can directly manage all templates, even creating templates for Numbers or Word documents or folders for web projects with multiple files.

‎Stempel – Create New Files

‎Stempel is a native macOS app for creating new files in Finder. Users can manage templates that they edit in Stempel or in any other editor of their choice. New files are created by right-clicking in Finder or by adding an item to Finder’s toolbar. This is a natural behavior that users might expect…
