If you like pile up poker, or Balatro, this is my take on those. It’s a fun little free game. Check it out!

iOS, iPad, vision, Mac, all available. 🥳

‎- Stacks -
‎Stacks is a fresh twist on classic poker and puzzle games! Arrange cards on the board to create the strongest hands horizontally, vertically, in the corners, and even in the discard stack. Every hand...

Watching Alex Honnold climb a 1667 foot tall skyscraper in Taipei right now live and it’s a weird concept. He’s a great climber but the stakes don’t make sense to me. Especially for Netflix to support it live. #skyscraperLive

There are 1000 app store screen creators but I thought I could make a really simple one for my really simple apps and the corner radius with the device outline is killing meeee

Oh no, another update. Letter Linker has a new daily puzzle feature. Minor update, but now the web version daily game matches the app version. 😌 #indiedev #ios #wordgame

RunRev 3.2 is out with a new month and year view of all activities. Really needed a new medium widget to show the month’s progress since I’m running a little less. #indiedev #ios #running

One of my goals was to finally make a website for all my apps, side projects, etc. 3 weeks into the year and I did it (it wasn't that bad; mostly just migrating from free hosting via github pages haha).

Next up is to learn how to make an app on atproto. Read too many blogs to not at least try.

Summer vs winter in roughly the same spot, central Oregon is the most relaxing place in the world for me. I love it.

Refactored the tab bar into an air hockey ui type of interaction for the app I made my kids. This way I can add more games. It’s fun for them when they get a little screen time #ios #swiftui #indiedev

Forgot to do my favorite books of 2025 and in the process found out I can export my Libby, audible, and kindle data then parse it into a nice little app. Love making little apps like this. Even if it doesn’t include my physical books, this is still pretty cool. #indiedev #ios #swiftui #books #libby

I think 30-35 is the sweet spot to never use voice memos. People older and younger than me use voice memos all the time and I just cannot get behind the idea. Unc status I guess.

On our world tour of countries (every Christmas we choose a different country to try their cuisine), this year we drew Spain! So we have lots of tapas and seafood and tomatoes etc. Followed by Basque cheesecake. 🥳

12 years ago versus 12 days ago in the same spot. Glad she said yes! 😅

Kinda proud that this TestFlight has been so active. Over 1000 restaurants added #foodie #ios #indiedev #testflight #indie #spotsavor

Watching a Christmas movie and the computer guy was writing an incredible hacking script. 😂

I put out that little TestFlight link and 300 restaurants have been added so far. I don’t have any analytics that save restaurants or anything. Just the number. Kinda cool!

Alright if anyone wants to give it a shot:

I don't think this will get a full app store release but being able to send tiktok or insta links to it is really handy. I made a shortcut to do that with a deeplink too. :) #indiedev #ios #swiftui

Been joking for a couple years that my coworker Lando would win (cause I work for Cisco so I’ll forever claim that we are coworkers haha). But today he actually did it! F1 is just fun. Max is an incredible driver and so is Oscar; glad Lando won this year though.

Does anyone here like to keep a list of restaurants in their notes or maps?

I made an app that lets you takes screenshots or links of instagram/tik toks and with on-device (foundation) models it will extract what it can and add it to a map for you. Feedback on idea welcome. #ios #indiedev

Ice rink opened and we got it all to ourselves! 😎 Great start to Thanksgiving weekend.

New absolutely unnecessary update to RunRev with some snow and a new Run Wrapped experience.

If you run and wanna see some fun graphs and a year in review (any year with HealthKit information) of your running, then give it a chance. All free. No account necessary. #indie #indiedev #ios #running

Whenever we have guests over that want WiFi I have to explain to them that they need to join guests_of_the_rohirrim instead of router_of_rohan and then there’s long explanation about what that even means. 😬
