I'm particularly happy with the focused reader mode, especially in visionOS. Being fully immersed in an environment while listening to music and swiping through posts is my new favorite way to catch up on my favorite blogs.

I've been working on an RSS feed reader because I have very specific opinions about how an app like this should be. It's also a great excuse to work on a visionOS app.

I've opened up 100 spots for people to try it on TestFlight before it is released on the App Store. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Messing around with seeing how my upcoming visionOS RSS reader works on iOS… including on a 27” external display.
Really happy with the progress I made on my visionOS RSS reader app this weekend! Tough to beat the focused experience of reading blog posts under the stars by Mt. Hood.
I got my RSS reader project running on the Vision Pro!

Now, with my app, I just need to start a walk on my Apple Watch (anything you can get a GPX from with work) and I know that any photos I take during my photo walk will have extremely accurate location data.

Plus, it's kind of interesting to see what and where I took photos. Here's a close up of the trace of photos I took during a hike in Fruita, Colorado recently.

I find it so very frustrating to get accurate location data into photos taken with a non-smartphone camera.

Camera "companion" apps are always terrible, the location is inaccurate and I always have to reopen the app because iOS kills it after a few minutes.

Over the long weekend I started a new little side project to improve this.

My app takes the timestamp of a photo and finds an exact location in a GPX track from something like a recorded walk with an Apple Watch.

ok
