My app Milk Diary is Apple’s App of the Day in the US App Store today!

Thank you Apple for this incredible recognition and thank you to ALL the families that have used Milk Diary so far and everyone that has supported me in this journey.

This is truly only the beginning, if you are a new parent in the throes of baby feeding, struggling to manage and overwhelmed with the complexities, Milk Diary is here for you. 🫶🏽 There’s still so much to come, stay tuned! https://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1854932622

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

I just released Lamplight, an app that splits classic literature into 10 minute chunks to help build a daily reading habit. Set a goal, track your reading streak.

More than a thousand of the greatest books ever written. All content in the public domain.

So excited to be back on stage especially for Swiftsonic’s premiere conference!!! Hope to see a bunch of iOS friends there 😁

🎤 KAYA HITS THE HIGH NOTES

🔊 @kayathomas is a Dartmouth/MIT grad with 10+ years in mobile dev (her own apps, Slack, Calm). After her daughter’s NICU stay shifted her feeding plans, she built Milk Diary, a privacy-first infant feeding app.

▶️ It's time to push play on something new!

⭐️ @swiftsonicconf
is a new iOS & Swift conference coming to Nashville November 20-22, 2026!

🎤 Community-driven, focused on real-world iOS and Swift stories, and shaped like a music festival.

👇🏻 More info in the replies!

It’s long overdue but I wanted to share why I write build.ms. We’re all busy working, raising families, seeing friends, and enjoying our time here.

It’s hard to know what’s important to know, and so my goal isn’t simply to share what I learn: it’s to make technology accessible to everyone.

Learn how to think about technology in a fast-moving world — I‘ll show you what matters and filter out the rest.

Today I'm launching my new app, Hacktivate. It teaches real-world computer science skills through 240 "capture the flag" challenges, and works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with one purchase. I've poured a ton of love into it, and I'd love to hear what you think 🙌 https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/hacktivate-capture-the-flag/id6748286602
