@tante I make an app called one sec which helps to spend less time on social media. I can’t offer you a direct job, but we can definitely talk! We do a lot of social media research as well and have received some grants recently, so maybe something is possible in that field! Let me know if you’re interested.
@larsweisbrod die könnte glatt beim Gegenwartscheck mitmachen 🥹
@henningtillmann man muss ja nicht das exakte Geburtsdatum übertragen, es reicht ja ein bool: über 18 ja/nein, oder?

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.

@brentsimmons Mine shows most of the time "search on app store"

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!

@stroughtonsmith Does it work well? My airdrop between Mac and iPhone is suuuuper flaky recently. 50% of times it does not work 😭
@simonbs there’s really a big need for a third alternative mobile OS. but such a hard task. without all the amazing apps nobody’s gonna use it I fear 🥺
