I had never seen this Mamey fruit before and looked it up in Wikipedia to find this intriguing description: “The brown skin has a texture somewhat between sandpaper and the fuzz on a peach. The fruit's texture is creamy and soft, and the flavor is a mix of sweet potato, pumpkin, honey, prune, peach, apricot, cantaloupe, cherry, and almond.”

I’ve always wanted to be able to quickly generate gradients from color palettes, so I built Tintly, a macOS tool for creating mesh gradients. It accepts palettes in any format and instantly converts them into beautiful gradients.

The problem is not “work from home” as a concept — it’s managers and executives who don’t know how to build a strong team culture & enable people to build meaningful relationships (both laterally and vertically) in a remote/flexible environment.

A friend of mine pointed me at this interview of Fei-Fei Li and it struck me as such an incredible contrast to the AI techbro hype machine that I was almost nostalgic https://youtu.be/pNYVckbCFuk/

TIL that “A River Runs Through It”was Norman Maclean’s first book, and it was published 50 years ago when he was 72. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/books/could-a-river-runs-through-it-have-been-a-hit-today.html?unlocked_article_code=1.rlA.l1TF.Oq63He7adTe1&smid=nytcore-ios-share
Could ‘A River Runs Through It’ Have Been a Hit Today?

The autobiographical novella, first published 50 years ago, arguably created a new type of guy: the literary fly fisherman.

Distribution hack I'm weirdly proud of:

TetherShot is a native Swift macOS app, but you install it with `npm install -g tethershot`.

The postinstall compiles it from source via the Xcode CLT. A bundle you build locally never picks up the com.apple.quarantine attribute — so Gatekeeper stays quiet and there's no (paid) notarization step. The .app just runs.

Local-first, MIT, zero telemetry.
