First experience with Claude Design as a logo/wordmark/brand designer has left me thoroughly unimpressed. I wouldn't even equate it with a junior designer at this point.

I added an On This Day feature to my app DejaView. Easily one of my favorite apps I've built ... not the most complex, but regularly being reminded of great memories from my 80k+ photos over the last 25+ years is priceless (all the way back to some Nikon Coolpix 900 ones). If you run a DAKBoard and want to try it, just DM me for a promo code. #DAKBoard

Like seriously, beam this right into my brain! https://youtu.be/C3cLOE6Phms?is=B2PqgMgiGu64DfFH

I avoid software subscriptions when I can, but one I don't mind supporting is @ivory . Easily the longest running continuous software sub I have going back to early Tweetbot. Just upgraded it finally to also cover macOS and just using it brings me joy. Opinionated and beautifully executed UI/UX makes a difference!

I made a thing (free)

Probably only useful to you if you live in Hawaii, Guam, etc and surf (or want to learn how to read ocean wave buoy data):

Da Buoys - Real Waves, Real Data, Real Time

Track real-time ocean buoy data for Hawaii surf spots. Because forecasts are just expensive guesses until the swell hits the buoy.

Wet one again at Whistler. Pineapple Express dumping rain and high temps from recent Hawaii storms. Alpine closed but park still fun.

The hits keep coming. Slider that shows continuous fill bar as you slide but snaps to low, medium, high. No medium tick mark and why is this a slider?

I have a build that says ‘Uploaded to Apple’ in Xcode, but never showed up in App Store Connect. Submitted over 12 hours ago now.

Reddit user: I have this problem that needs solving. When will this feature be added?

Me via DM: I had the same problem and built an app for it. Here is a free promo code to download it on the Apple App Store. If you end up trying it I’d love any feedback you might have.

Building software is awesome, the rest is a pita. I’ve always cared too much about UX and too little about marketing.
