I’m excited to share a little project of mine: GoLight Energy - an iOS app for people in Europe who want to see how green their local electricity is! You can get it on the App Store today: https://apps.apple.com/app/golight-energy/id6755192452

It works like a traffic light:

🟢 Use energy when it’s green.

🔴 Hold off when it’s red.

A small shift in timing, such as when you cook or charge your car, can help increase renewable usage and reduce reliance on coal and gas.

Building this was a great chance to dive deeper into SwiftUI from the other side, exploring advanced scrolling APIs and designing with Liquid Glass!

Huge thanks to the team at Fraunhofer ISE behind Energy-Charts (@energy_charts_d). Their API powers the app, and their website (https://energy-charts.info) is fantastic for those interested in grid data and renewables!

Spotlight has recently become terrible for launching apps after being so good for years. Now when I type something like Cal or Calendar or even Calendar.app I have to manually select the actual app in the list, if it even appears. Should be first thing.

Just me? Is my Mac haunted? Probably haunted.

Next, @frederik! Scaling indie apps, making positive impact and… polar bears?! We want to hear that story!

Only at @ARCticConference!

Super cool to be able to experience the live recording of a @Launched episode! With @charliemchapman and @frederik!

I dream of a Slack app that kept data locally and would show it to you, even if you didn’t have an internet connection. We used to call these sorts of things “apps”.

Do I know anyone working on TestFlight?

Here’s some feedback for you, regarding changing default button positions in the screenshot menu and breaking muscle memory:

Well that was unexpected - Art of Fauna is the Game of the Day across Europe! 🇪🇺 🦆
