🫧 2x Apple Design Award cube carrier for @BlackboxPuzzles.bsky.social on VisionOS and iOS.

Also making candy, foraging plants, running, idk.

All opinions are endorsements.
If you make iOS apps and aren't using @helm-app.bsky.social at this point what are you doing??

Uploading new screenshots?
ASC: Ugly, slow, confusing, randomizes the order for fun
Helm: Drop every screenshot all at once and it sorts and places them in the right sections like a coin sorterScree

I was born too late and never got to design a physical box for my software, so I did a fake one for the “What's new" window in Hand Mirror.

This update is almost ready, if you like to make videos or write about this stuff get in touch!

Hey Kris! Let me look into this. I find Mastodon so troublesome to use so maybe this will help.

I have so many fond memories at the mall playing indie games like Enigmo, Bugdom, and Cro-Mag Rally back in the day. I can only imagine that there are now kids (and adults 😉) out there playing @blackboxpuzzles.bsky.social for the first time, having those same moments with something I made. So cool.

As a kid, whenever we went to the Apple Store I always ran to the back to play the demo games on the iMacs. Now many years later, in an absolutely crazy, full-circle, bucket-list moment, my own game is one of those demo games on thousands of iPads in hundreds of Apple Stores around the world.

I have learned that it’s actually just like this all the time now for readability

So stoked and proud to share the design keynote I gave at Let's Vision in Shanghai: a discussion about my own design thinking, new interface approaches, and various interaction design challenges!

Warning: this talk involves a puzzle ;)

I wish everyone who's paid a quarter million dollars a year to work on WhatsApp a very unpleasant existence.

I was trying to use a great app called JOMO to setup app blocking but the app picker (provided by Apple) crashed. I know Opal has also had a lot of trouble with this API

What happens in airplane mode? Doesn’t parental mode disable messing with the clock?
