📢 Big news! I'm shifting from my role at Apple as an Eng Manager (EM) for SwiftUI to a new role as an EM for macOS. My time on SwiftUI was some of the most fun in my career; however, CA never quite felt like home.

This new role offers an amazing opportunity: remote work! [1/2]

Some big news I’m really excited to announce:

After development for the past year thanks to Screen NSW’s support through the Digital Games Seed Development Program, my ‘90s MicroProse inspired game Deck & Conn is getting published… by none other than MicroProse itself!

The Steam page is now live - check it out and wishlist it if a turn based retro military space ship command game sounds like your jam!

A quick tip when capturing #screenshots of your Mac app for promo material for #macOS26 Tahoe: DONT

Instead, do the following: Take a screen recording of your app's window/s and then, pick a frame from that window.

Notice the difference. You get all the glass element refractions and specular highlights, especially on elements like the floating sidebar.

Drop it in the replies here; if you'd like to be boosted, include:

1️⃣ a screenshot / video (with alt text)
2️⃣ a link-out to your site or App Store page
3️⃣ use the hashtag #showcase25

Assume the reader knows nothing about you or your projects: what is your app, what does it do?

Remember you can edit posts if you forget something, and mute the hashtag if you don't want to participate

I just learned that a donation from The Art of Fauna was used by the Naturschutzbund Steiermark to buy 1250m² of forest at the Wiedneralm/Gaberl, near my old hometown 🥹

In case you don't know - 20% of all proceeds of The Art of Fauna are donated to nature preservation organisations🌲
