Here’s a quick video of Bridges in action.

One of the main things I wanted it to do is give me a way to save & export links quickly. This gives you formatting options and exports all your links in folders or sections you make. It’s super handy for projects where you’re working with lots of links.

Super pumped for Bridges 2.0 🥳. I have been working hard over the summer to update my link saving app for liquid glass and shortcuts. The app is a must have if you are working with lots of links for projects and need them in different formats.

Check it out 🙂

A promo image for my link saving app Bridges. It shows how the app now looks using iOS 26 and Liquid Glass. It has three iPhones one with a home view of the app. One with a detail viewer for a link that was saved. And one showing the share sheet where you can save a link to the app.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some help testing my link saving app for iOS 26. If you’d like to try out my app Bridges join the TestFlight 😊. It lets you save and organize links into folders and sections.

I've never seen something like that before its pretty cool.

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Jul 28

What's that clear case for your keyboard and trackpad?

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Jul 11

Thank you Susannah ☺️

I’m about 15 hours into it so far but trying to take my time with it. What do you think? The first game is one of my favorites of all time. 🙂

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Jul 9

Been slow moving but I’m enjoying this beta season 😊. Don’t know if I can make day one but I’ll try 😅. My plan is to do a big Bridges 2.0 update. I want to get back to working on my apps more frequently. This past year has been a lot of change with a new job and having a baby.

If you want to change how Safari works in macOS Tahoe... I made a Safari Extension to stop the toolbar from changing colors for each tab. #macosTahoe

A photo of the verge's website in Safari running macOS Tahoe. Using the Safari extension I made you have a more traditional gray background. Currently in the betas it changes colors depending on the webpage your on.

Wow this is an incredible interview! I love Brian Eno and this video made me love him even more. You get to see his studio and the way he approaches life and music is beautiful.

That would be nice. I’m also surprised it hasn’t showed up on any other platform. It should also be a Mac and iPad app.

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Mar 20

You must enjoy each finale equally.

When tapping on an entry I thought it would launch a new view with more info on it. But there just seems to be the ability to edit it or bookmark it. I feel like that’s missing and should have been added.

Doesn’t it bother you that an entry doesn’t have a detail view? I can’t believe in all this time it’s still not there

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Mar 19

Thanks Chris! 🙂

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Mar 18

Thanks Jonathan! It’s our first baby definitely don’t think we can handle 6 or 7 😅.

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Mar 18

Some personal news…life’s about to be different! Me and Gianina are expecting a baby girl ☺️. I am equally scared and happy but most of all can’t wait to meet her!

There’s nothing stopping you from doing that and I think it’s probably the best thing still.

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Mar 10

It’s very weird! But I still loved it. I know it’s not for everyone.

Jonathan Ruiz @refactoredd.bsky.social · Mar 10

Death Stranding 2 looks wild! I can't wait to play this game. Very surprised it's coming out in June. I feel like Kojima is going to vastly expand the world he built in the first game. It just feels larger and more epic.

🏥 NY’s largest hospital system, New York Presbyterian, quietly removed info about trans youth care—a dangerous step in the direction of restricting essential treatment.

🏳️‍⚧️ They’re putting trans lives at risk. Email CEO Steven J. Corwin & demand they reverse this now.
