Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Threads is looking better and better. What I wanted from social media was:

* self-promotion from celebrities and rich people

* no control over my timeline

* strict prohibition of any sexual content

* nothing from europe

* no alt-text

* data harvesting to empower genocides

For my first project of my quick release project. I’ve decided to work on a mobile creative group chat app. Essentially a collaborative canvas to “chat” with friends.

My goal is to look at how I can push the idea of what we think of as a group chat in creative ways. The app will be available on iOS and Android in 1 week. No matter the state (crossing my fingers I pass App Store review 😂)
