I’ve found sleep to be one of the most important things in life, and I realised how much mine was being interrupted after drinking alcohol - so I decided to quit.

Wanted to track my sobriety with #ios widgets, so thought I’d build some!

I’d like to say I’m most proud of launching Sobo because it could genuinely help someone improve their life by giving up a harmful habit.

But I have to confess that I’m also feeling incredibly smug for getting my iconography past Apple’s review process 😇🍆

If you've got a spare minute today, would massively appreciate some support to help push this towards the top! ❤️🚀

I thought I was having a good hair day today but the girl at the coffee shop just asked me if it’s windy outside 💀

I finally caved and got an iPhone.

My passion for #AndroidDev is as strong as ever (and my career depends on it 🙈), but I’m loving #iOS! It’s also great to experience my #KMP projects on a real device, I think it’s important to know both platforms deeply to get the best out of cross-platform #dev
If an #AndroidDev switches to an iPhone for personal use, can they ever be forgiven? Asking for a friend... 🫢

Seriously, #SelfHosted is the way to go when you're starting a new personal project. Why lock yourself into pricey cloud hosting when your network traffic is minimal?

Love to watch my #RasPi faultlessly handle my growing user base, and it has cost me almost nothing ❤️

I'm gonna need someone to tell me why we need to bring back woolly mammoths... Like, is it so starving kids can eat them? Y'know, the kids that could otherwise be helped with all that mammoth money 🤔

Considering what we are experiencing world-wide, I don't think we need AGI, and I also don't think we should work 60 hours per week. Seek quality time with your loved ones instead.

I spent a lot of time finessing adaptive layouts with edge-to-edge support on both #ios and #android, while also using custom non-material design elements, such as navigation. Some of the APIs are hard to wield, but got there eventually. Let me know what you think!

I've learned it's hard to stop chasing perfection and instead just get something out there. It's still a bit rough around the edges but, it's time to share it.

Done > Perfect.

Approved on the first try!

It has been a source of joy converting my Android app to #KotlinMultiplatform with #Compose 💪

Now to get some much needed improvements done before the 2025 season starts 🏎️

Do you know what "Time to take action" (or, accessibility timeout) is, and how to support it in your Android app?

In this blog post, I'll explain what it is and how you can make your users' lives better by respecting this accessibility setting's value:

This is seriously the one thing that's making me consider switching to iOS. Having to apologise to shopkeepers because they think my contactless payment was declined is getting tiring. I literally just unlocked my device, why is this necessary??!

I'm thinking about renaming the modifiers in Haze but not quite sure what to use.

If you want to help, you can comment here:

Hi everyone. In v0.9 Haze was completely re-written in a way where the way that Haze works underneath was completely inverted. Pre-v0.9, all of the drawing and logic was performed by your Modifier....
