Hey gang, I’m going to be reducing the number of feeds I’m looking at which means I’m going to be closing this account on Mastodon along with the @sofa account in a few weeks. I have nothing but love for Mastodon, but I’m just looking to simplify things for myself.

If you want to follow my work the best place is YouTube and my newsletter.

Also, if you’re on Threads I’ll be hanging out over there so say hi 👋.

So now that Dropbox uses the File Provider API, does it still have an edge over Google Drive? I pay for both but would prefer to consolidate if I could.

Hands On with Apple’s visionOS for the First Time

If you've ever struggled to make nice drop shadows in your app, or you just love drop shadows (like me), I have a new video you may enjoy 😜

Make Better Drop Shadows (using Figma)

Like everyone else, I'm impatiently waiting for the visionOS SDK. This is giving me some time to plan for how I'm going to adapt Sofa to this new platform. The one open question I have is what to do with themes 🤷?

My Development Plans for iOS 17 and Vision Pro

YouTube
Recently started using @shawn’s Notion template for managing my app development. I'm enjoying having more structure than my previous workflow of just dumping everything into Things.

I'm still digesting a lot from yesterday's keynote, but I'm starting to think about how @sofa fits in with Vision Pro. I think Sofa going to be a fun app on the platform and I'm excited to start developing for it.
