You’re invited! City Budget Townhall: Let’s Spread the Blame

Anyone who uses Spotify interested in trying a @triptunes.bsky.social beta that has the ability to export playlists to Spotify? I didn't add Spotify for a long time due to their anti-indie rules, but found a service that bridges the gap. DM me your email addy and I'll add you to the TestFlight!

Had an established app stuck waiting for review for a week. I had a deadline to hit so decided to try expedited review request hoping it’d be done in a couple days. Ended up going into review 20 mins later and approved in 3 mins?! Weird stuff going on lately.

I have my quote for the next time I break prod.

Had to wear proper attire for the inaugural visit to my long awaited local Portillos out here. @joshdholtz.com

Added a Trip Tunes feature I’m pretty excited about. DM me your email if you want the TestFlight! I’ve improved how the app finds local artists along your route, and playlists for faraway places have gotten really interesting. So I added an optional wall for sharing them. Thoughts?

I now kind of remember why I stopped getting too invested in basketball.

Ok...am I losing it completely or did the 1-1 remote labs get a lot thinner this year? Last year I was able to chat with them about ML/Vision and other interesting things. This year I only see the 'please feature my app' or business strategy type of labs. I mean, I get it, but it still sucks.

Translation “that’s a real nice trip you got planned there. Would be a shame if the driver didn’t show up.”

Great talk about pizza by @cassidoo.co that turned into some excellent advice on navigating the rapidly changing dev environment. @deepdishswift.com

Industry recap for the time since the last @deepdishswift.com

I've been working on a macOS app to track accomplishments without the weight of a time tracker or TODO list. It's a quick-entry 'where the hell did the time go today?' tool that uses on-device models to summarize work for standups, EOY reviews, etc. Would love some TestFlight users. LMK!

I really want New Zealand to host an Olympics because I know they'd have an Uruk-Hai run in carrying the torch.

Got my tickets to Project Hail Mary. Loved the book and so far what I’m seeing for the movie looks great. Excite!

Am I the only one seeing this?

Uh oh, Gen Alpha found our stuff. 😱

You shall not fucking pass!

How do you preemptively attack yourself? I think you’d lose all element of surprise.

Damn it has been a week between an emergency project at work and a trip to the emergency vet last night. I've not gotten to watch much yet - but there are a few goodies from WWDC that I'm excited to play with. Finally got to install Xc26 and at least my apps build and don't look too crazy 👌

Adults of course famously sleep through anything.

I’ve been super busy so far this week and have not had time to play so far. Is it true that you can’t use Foundation Model Framework without updating your dev machine to macOS 26? I was looking forward to messing with that but that will slow me down. 🙁

😳 😢

I love everything about this but that boombox is near the top of the list.

Can’t believe @deepdishswift.com is less than 48 hours out! Super excited to catch up with some of you there. And eat pizza. In no particular priority order.

The Lighthouse formation blocking out the sun at Palo Duro Canyon. I snapped this with my phone on vacation a couple weeks ago and really like it.

Dang the kids’ book series is getting INTENSE

Looks like the comms folks at the city selected the wrong one on the AM/PM drop down. Should be fun surprise for them tomorrow.

A month ago if you played a single song in Apple Music, it would essentially create a station from that song and continue playing. Now it just loops the song. Am I dreaming or was that a change? Is there some setting that controls it?

Hi, everyone! Finally posting here. 👋

Looking at the audience in the SNL 50th special is a ride.

Sent messages to my devil-spawn representatives about the DOE and school vouchers (for state reps). Felt fairly pointless but at least it gets tallied? LLMs make customizing these easy. Will follow these up with calls, tho not to Ted Cruz because the revulsion to futility ratio is too much 🤮

I want you to go into your app right now and find/replace some strings for me.

Threw together a blog and a post about my experience promoting my indie app. I thought it would be interesting to share some specific data on the impact of the App Store feature and broadcast news segments. Let me know what you think! www.jefframes.com/trip-tunes-e...

Boy it sure is hard to read the news these days. If it helps just a little, here is a picture I took this weekend of a baby goat using a sleeping pig as a climbing apparatus.

Some rye in a Mos Eisley glass with a Death Star ice cube <chefs kiss>

Here's a glossary for Swift concurrency. I've been asked about this a few times, and I finally sat down to do it. www.massicotte.org/concurrency-...

Have another one of those bugs that I can’t stop analyzing even in my sleep.

First contract of 2025....... falls through. (I'm fine! But always planning 3-6 months in advance is something.) I don't suppose you could use some Swift 6 training/workshops/consultation? I've worked with large teams all the way down to individuals. I'd love to talk!

Any interest in a post covering the numbers and strategies around my indie app getting an Apple feature and various other publicity? It’d mostly be depressing but perhaps interesting.

Who is the target audience for this article? I guess people who work in San Antonio broadcast news? 🤷 apple.news/AMkzVoqeKRUm...

@chriswu.com this guy came by looking for you.

Well this one was an interesting surprise when I queued up the few Yule log videos on Apple Music to play on Christmas morning. Not quite Adult Swim Yule log level of surprise, but yea. music.apple.com/us/music-vid...

I guess it’s been a bit since I last checked on the Pebble. Not doing great! The band started…melting. I guess the plastic didn’t have a long shelf life.

Need to bring my home automation projects together by displaying my neighbors’ TPMS readings on my pixel lights.
