Not bad for about an hour of messing around. iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions of Dialog, a personal listen later podcast feed generator that takes any article and outputs it as generated audio. UI needs work but it’s fully functional.

I found your story to be so interesting and inspiring. I also couldn't help but write a little bit about the painting on the right hand side of the mural as well.

Some personal news. For real. Deep breath… After 12 years at The Wall Street Journal, I’m leaving. Twelve!

I’m starting my own consumer-tech media company, building a new home with the same mission I've always had: help real people navigate the tech changing their lives.

I can’t wait to start building and hiring! If you want to follow along, sign up at the link below and subscribe on YouTube. No holding small microphones. I promise. Probably. https://www.thisismynexthing.com/

@gruber no comment from app review about alcohol at all. I did get rejected many times but in the end I discovered that was because I hadn't filled out all the tax forms, but the reason they gave me was that my in-app purchase had problems. It took chatGPT to tell me it's probably just the forms and it was.

@gruber I became an indie app developer today. Here is my first app:

I think you may get a kick out of it. It tells you where in the world it's 5:00 right now and along with some fun facts provides you with a cocktail recipe from that place.
