I don’t think I’ve seen this widget state for Flighty since 2023 😄

Launched Relaunched Luncheon was a success!

Glad everybody visiting got to experience the best culinary experience New York City has to offer

Still wild to me that we’re at the point where I can’t wait to leave the terminal and get on the plane so I have high speed WiFi to work with now with United’s Starlink

So... Peter made this joke in Slack so now I'm honor bound to make this a real thing.

Any fellow indies gonna be in NYC on Monday and want to meet up for lunch somewhere? 😅

So... some personal news

(watch till the end)

Wow, Swift Bharat was incredible. Still processing but genuinely one of the greatest iOS conference experiences I’ve ever had. @mufasayc.com and team crushed it. And the Swift community in India is loaded with inspiring, passionate, and kind people.

I have to go back next year 😁

Swift Bharat is off to a start! The vibes are soooo good 😁
September 26, 2025 at 5:05 AM
Tuk tuk at night in Bangalore traffic is quite the experience 😅

My word, South Indian food makes a good first impression. This benne masala dosa was excellent

Pretty cool to see the Burj Khalifa, even if it’s just barely through a hazy Dubai sunset from a plane window 😅
September 24, 2025 at 10:40 PM
Short layover in Dubai, but luckily I found this cute local place where I can try some authentic Dubai cuisine
September 24, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Heck yeah. Landed poor man’s first class again on this 14hr flight to Dubai 🙌. Should get some good sleep
September 24, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Hello New York 👋
September 23, 2025 at 9:27 PM
Whoa 😳 – first flight with United’s free Starlink WiFi onboard. This is pretty wild
September 23, 2025 at 5:12 PM
I'm coming to Bangalore, India this week for Swift Bharat! 🇮🇳

It'll be my first time ever in India – what food must I try, and what places should I see?!

(unfortunately my time is brief so probably won't be able to leave the city at all)

The swap between lenses while zooming has gotten soooo smooth. Still some small warping at the seam, but it’s pretty remarkable

The 8x on the new iPhones is pretty sweet
September 20, 2025 at 1:06 AM
The blue iPhone 17 Pro in the store is already showing scratches 😬
September 19, 2025 at 2:04 PM
Hey! @darknoise.app is featured in one of the iOS 26 lists on the App Store! 🥰
September 15, 2025 at 7:53 PM
Dark Noise got a little shout out in @dmoren.com's AirPods Pro 3 review!

I actually have a super long fade out feature whenever you set a timer in the app. Wonder if I could detect if you're pausing from sleep to do the same? Or a setting? I'll play around when my new AirPods arrive Friday! 😁
September 15, 2025 at 6:49 PM
My @darknoise.app update with the new iOS 26 Liquid Glass design, and a new Magic Mix feature (demoed here) powered by the new Foundation Model API & Apple Intelligence is ready for tomorrow's release!

If you're press writing about app updates, my press release is below 🧵👇

Anyone else seeing SwiftUI onDrop issues in Tahoe?

I have 2 different onDrop modifiers, one at the root for dropping images in from outside the app. And one at the frame view level for reordering (which is a string ID)

Works fine in Sequoia (below) but in Tahoe the frame DropDelegates never fire 🤔
September 13, 2025 at 7:13 PM
The Framous update with all of the latest device frames is approved and available in the store! There's 87 new assets thanks largely to all the watch strap combinations 😯)

Link below down👇

Also FYI, there's is a known issue I'm fighting with drag-and-drop to reorder in Tahoe
September 13, 2025 at 5:39 PM
New Framous icon for Tahoe. Sad to lose my little fun buttons that stuck out, but it looks alright I think
September 13, 2025 at 3:46 AM
Apple just updated their device bezels resources! 🚨

Updating Screen Frames as quickly as possible 🏃‍♂️💨
