I am pleased to announce a new project: custom-knit sweaters and pen-plotter prints, designed from my dithered cloud art!

I've been collecting cloud photos for the last few years and applying a modified dithering algorithm to create these designs — combine that with a programmable knitting machine, and you get these custom sweaters!

🧵📐 Let’s talk about optical centering and visual balance in UI design. This post has been making the rounds about iOS 18’s flashlight Live Activity, and it’s probably time we have The Talk.

About precision vs perception in interface design, that is.

Here we go 🚀

6 chapters, 14 pages, hundreds of features covered...

My iOS and iPadOS 18 review is now live on MacStories!

I did something different for my 10th annual review: in the age of generative AI, I hired a real artist to illustrate it instead.

It's my most personal review ever. I'm proud of it – especially the conclusion.

Enjoy. ❤️

I posted about my experiment with creating a font with a built-in syntax highlighting, made possible by OpenType COLR table and contextual alternates. Any ideas how to improve?
