I’m pretty excited about Mimestream. It’s a native macOS app for Gmail. It’s in beta at the moment but already looks and feels great. I especially love that you can set it to use Gmail’s keyboard shortcut keys.

I haven’t seen many people noting this but Australia went through a bushfire (read: wildfire) season over the Southern Hemisphere summer that’s similar to what’s happening on the U.S. West Coast. We should definitely be concerned this is the new normal.

OK, so I did find this page confirming Mac Catalyst apps are always foreground and active. Good to know if a little frustrating.

So as best as I can tell, Mac Catalyst apps just don’t receive UIKit notifications when they get sent to the background…? I don’t see many people talking about it but I can’t get any of the foreground/background notifications to work.

Now it has an icon.

It seems trite to say that music can transport you but that’s exactly what happens whenever I listen to ‘Rise’ by Doves (Apple Music). Those opening bars begin and I’m immediately a first-year university student again.

The heavens opened up on me and now I feel like I did when, as a safety exercise, we had to swim fully clothed in primary school.

That was an incredible shot. What a pass.

This might be happening.

I’m a little curious who the 30 people are who enrolled in my TestFlight beta.

This is a depressing read from Tracy Chou about Reddit’s pathetic anti-harassment features and the mobs of misogynists who mercilessly harass women.

Twitter’s website just straight up won’t load for me in Safari on macOS.

My first iOS app, Flext, has successfully passed Beta App Review. If you’re curious about testing it out, let me know! Here’s a video of how it looks.

So this is happening.

I’ve always thought ‘put a damper on it’ was a mistake and the correct way to say it was ‘put a dampener on it’. Not so. In addition to the little-known Australian variety of bread, a ‘damper’ is a device in a piano that deadens vibrations.

I’ve made an icon.
