One of the big Qs from pundits before the DMA was ‘what are all these 'great' apps we're missing out on because of Apple's App Store restrictions, and do they even exist?’.

Mere days after a major App Store rules change, @delta (which has been denied for years), is the top app on the App Store.

For every Delta, there are a thousand great apps that were simply never started because they would never fly. Dreams that never left the whiteboard, market segments that were never given chance to exist

I’ve never been more excited to do a blog post.

My goal was to preserve some never-before-heard recordings of the Firehouse Five Plus Two, a famous Disney-employee dixieland jazz band.

The robots necessitated:
- Publicity photos with students who "should have a healthy-looking BMI"
- Police supposed to let Starship "lead" incident investigations
- Trying to form "habits" with a "captured" base of student populations
- Redesigning intersections

Hey y'all take note today is "Bandcamp Friday", meaning if you buy music on Bandcamp it's a 0% cut for the company:

And importantly this is POSSIBLY THE FINAL BANDCAMP FRIDAY, as new owners Songtradr have not made it clear if they're continuing it. (So "get your orders in now.")

Also not clear: whether Songtradr will be busting Bandcamp's union. So please follow @bandcampunited and if you're a customer please sign their petition https://union.place/@bandcampunited/111178966616050916

Lighthouses of the United Kingdom. I rather like how this turned out. And it didn't take 42 hours. 😅
