How can you summarize thirty years of nurturing a thing you love so much, that’s been a huge part of your life and identity for so long? The answer is you can’t, so I didn’t try.
I do hope you’ll join us though and help celebrate the occasion and have fun as we mark the Iconfactory’s 30th (!!!) year pushing pixel just for you. Stay tuned for more in the days ahead. 💕🖖

macOS Golden Gate is really starting to feel more like the spiritual successor to the original Aqua UI on Mac OS X 🥰

This daily WWDC video is awful. It's delivering almost no real information. The presenters talk a lot, but it all feels meaningless and incredibly vague.
Come on Apple, you're better than this drivel.
I wrote down a few thoughts about yesterday's WWDC keynote, and the return to form for macOS.
tldr; Keynote bad. macOS good!

I feel bad for Erick the Architect. I had no idea who he was before this, but this song about apps is pretty embarrassing. I hope Apple paid him enough to make it worth his while 🙃
Windows now have more of an outline (and darker shadows?) making them easier to see in dark mode 🥰
All in all, there's some very nice UI refinements in macOS!
Apple have removed the overuse of icons from the menu's in macOS Golden Gate, hell yeah 🥳
