It’s amazing how conferences can change things.

Thanks to @deepdishswift.com I diverted my UK travel plans to eat pizza with someone I didn’t know at the start of last year.

This group feels like a superpower for our projects. We’ve each set massively ambitious goals for the next year or two, and we’re showing up daily to support each other in reaching them.

This photo will go down as such an important moment for our projects.

What has *really* kept me going is the folks in this photo. On the Saturday after #WWDC25 we got brunch together and made an agreement: to help the WWDC buzz last and help us reach goals, we each set out a "moon shot" idea, and will return there after WWDC26 to see if we made it.

Your logo 🤝 Your App Clip Code

I’ve started working on a new feature for App Clipped that lets you turn your logo or app icon into an App Clip Cod style design 🤩

It's still early in terms of features and the codebase, but I wanted to open-source it as soon as possible!

It's also my first time making a macOS app, and I'm always open to feedback!

My App Clip Code generator tool is now open-sourced! 🤩 Link in the comments 👇

Generating App Clip Codes has always been a pain, so I’m on a mission to make it better! 💪

I’ve just had my PR merged into an open-source project! 🤩

(I’m new to open-source work, so let me get overly hyped about this one 😂😂)

I'm having a lot of fun looking into open-source iOS projects! 🤩

Are there any you'd recommend checking out? Could be apps, tools, frameworks, or anything in the world of iOS! 👀
