“Apps genius” - Colleen. I used to work on making Twitter a bit healthier, then that all went to hell. Now I make puns and indie apps @plinky.app.

Hi, I’m Joe! I used to work @ Twitter on all the hard things like misinformation, disinformation, harassment, and civic integrity. I also spent a ton of effort on little improvements to make people’s lives better. These days I’m an indie developer making it easy to save links for later, with Plinky.
I still use Heroku because I'm running a social experiment where I see if I can go my whole life without finally having to learn how Docker works.

Sometimes Bluesky absolutely disgusts me. I don't care if you think Jeffrey Epstein is hot, think about all of the terrible things he's done.

I'm committed to a life of good because I could never go to prison. Once I found out they don't let you fall asleep listening to a podcast I knew that a life of crime wasn't for me.

@tangled.org Two quality of life improvements that I ran into and I think should be reasonably small to fix.
1. Even after commenting on an issue my notifications bell was red, despite having just interacted with it.
2. Any textarea (such as commenting on an issue) should accept ⌘Enter for submit.

The lack of proper @ mentions is always a dead give away about whether someone is actually posting here or just crossposting their tweets. 😕

My wife has been working 7 days a week for the last month, and her app is just two days away from launch. Based on their trajectory they’re a few thousand downloads away from ranking in the top 10 of the entire App Store. Can you do what I promise will be an enjoyable favor and preorder the game?

This is worth a weekend read. The job market is starting to shift as AI hollows out work that previously would have been done by people. This firsthand accounting of a new grad who did all the right things is stark and concerning, but also left me with more questions than answers.

I'd estimate that the source of 50% of my bugs is new user flows and authentication. It's just so hard to consistently test end to end, especially when you use a third party auth provider like Sign in with Apple.

Been playing with BeeBot for a few days and I think it’s one of the more fascinating AI experiences I’ve used. It’s like a friend that randomly chimes in as you’re walking by something interesting like a museum or event and tells you about it. No surprise that it comes from the mind of @dens.nyc.

@leaflet.pub I absolutely love reading everyone’s Leaflets, and was hoping to start one for @plinky.app. I began designing one and realized that I needed more control over styling to match my app’s design/brand — particularly custom fonts, spacing, and more layouts. Any chance you’ll add those?

I found this to be a very compelling argument for why generated AI output (research, images, code, etc) can feel really great to you, while no one receiving that content cares very much.

Now that the election is over, you all have to read through this Curtis Sliwa PowerPoint. This man is possibly the most New York a New Yorker has ever been, and he deserves some title to honor that. docs.google.com/presentation/...
