I have no words. @sequel won the MacStories Selects award for Best Design! 🙏🎉

Before going indie, I was a product designer so this one really means a lot to me. I pour my heart into every update, but 2.6 in particular was a labour of love. Thank you to the @macstories team and thank you all so much for the support! ❤️

Today I have a more serious topic than usual, please consider reposting for reach:

My wife and I are urgently looking for a specialist in neuropediatrics or a similar field for our autistic child with a diagnosed, but not further specified, movement disorder (myoclonus and/or spasms) to finally find a cause and, above all, an effective therapy. The symptoms are bothering our son ever since he’s born, now for more than nine years, seriously affecting his sleep. The usual processes and medical contact points have failed us unfortunately and he seems stuck in this condition.

We’re based in Berlin, Germany but really any contact with a specialist who would be willing to take on this case we’d be grateful for!

To reach use you can DM me or contact us via Email at [email protected]

yeah, I don't think we can rely on Apple's on-device model for image analysis folks
