Found an ASO improvement with Product Page Optimization

BMI screenshot in slot 2 does 3% better than in slot 4 #iosdev

used claude to build a claude jail 🤝

eventually i'd like to migrate all my command-line tool usage to containers. running homebrew tools directly on my machine has felt unsettling for years.

As of release 2025.12, Happy Scale is 100% swift with no obj-c!

The codebase is 14 years old, and the first line of Swift was 7 year ago. So every line of code from the first half of the project's life has been revisited and revised.

This is huge unlock for some future plans...

Learned at Deep Dish that you can automatically pop up the config screen for widgets upon initial placement using promptsForUserConfiguration()

Shoutout to @StewartLynch for the tip! #iosdev

Transitioning into being an indie software developer can be disorienting — especially in the beginning. Many times, I've dreamed of getting a job again, because there are aspects that I miss.

When I feel this way, it helps to unbundle the specific aspects I miss. Is it going to a physical place? Socializing? Novelty? Teamwork? Predictability? Accountability? Working with my hands? Being seen?

Then, I experiment with satisfying those elements in some other way.
