Coming soon in Mastodon 4.6 - a redesigned profile page. We've used community feedback and surveys to inform these updates. In our latest blog post, @imanijoy explains our design thinking and choices. Here are a few highlights 🧵

Good to see new awesome stuff still being shipped in Swift. Unfortunately it has remained largely an Apple ecosystem thing - could have become a strong contender to Python, Go and Rust with a proper marketing strategy, which Apple never really capitalized on. https://www.swift.org/blog/swift-6.3-released/
Swift is designed to be the language you reach for at every layer of the software stack. Whether you’re building embedded firmware, internet-scale services, or full-featured mobile apps, Swift delivers strong safety guarantees, performance control when you need it, and expressive language features and APIs.
Everyone tells you to hire fast. It "feels" like growth.
We’re 10 people, seven years in.
No hiring sprees.
No layoffs.
No cycles of expansion and contraction.
Just careful additions when the work demanded it.
Most of the team that joined early is still here. A couple moved on when their paths changed.
Continuity doesn’t feel dramatic while it’s happening, only later do you realize how much it shaped the company.
Like, seriously, whoever created this game deserves my admiration and $$$: https://100jumps.org/
I am pretty sure it was vibe-coded, but who cares, the game mechanics is so simple and awesome. The absolute pure epitome of the concept of Flow. The new Flappy Bird!
Don't say I did not warn ya!

📢 Last Friday, we launched a completely revamped version of Murmel - a v2.0 of sorts. It is a complete rewrite, and not just a an incremental update. We took this path, because we learned a lot of valuable lessons on the way, and the hardest one was that v1.0 would not scale teh way we wanted it.
Thus, v2.0. The bigest upgarde is that you now Mastodon AND Bluesky support, and up to 3 feed feeds to include in your digest.
Give it a try: https://murmel.social
The sad realization every software developer goes through:
You wanted to build products.
You ended up building projects.
