Little bit cynic, little optimistic. I make @paku.app, and work at mercury.com

Anyone willing to test some iPhone Duo stuff for the Mercury app? You don't need to be a Mercury customer. The team still hasn't got our hands on one, it would be a big help!

I made a HUGE mistake! We are closing at the end of November 2027! Apologies for the error! Everybody gets a whole year head up 😂

Apple folks: seems like there's a bug in the detent resolver that only shows up in certain sheet configurations on iPhone Duo. The sheet is nestled in the safe area, and the system applies that safe area to your content, but not to the resolved detent height for a custom detent. FB24894390

First look at Paku on Duo. Curious what people think about the map controls in the folded pose - they'll stay above the sheet when it's expanded. Feels a bit weird but better than the alternatives.

Do you think this is a bug, or intended behavior? The buttons are getting placed manually, based on the trait collections verticalBarEdge, but when using the leading edge the sheet on that edge is not inset to avoid bar content. Works fine in the folded pose.

How (if at all) are people running snapshot tests on iOS 26/27 - Liquid Glass animations that can't be disabled are needing so many workarounds.

For anyone wondering, though, this does almost nothing for download numbers. As far as I can tell, you have to go to Apps tab > scroll to weather at the top > find Paku there

You don't get to vote for representation in Apple and Google. Was your belief in democracy backstopped by the idea that sufficiently powerful corporations would selectively disregard government actions you dislike? The Lake America thing is a public blunder and constant reminder. Let it happen.

Migrating away from 1Password, but not sure what to do with my non-passwords (those can go to Apple's Passwords app). Things like bank routing and account numbers, photos of documents, etc. Curious how folks are approaching this :)

Paku 7.1 is rolling out now with first-class support for AirGradient! I'm really excited for the coverage improvements outside the US - many countries went from a handful of sensors to over a hundred, and coverage across Europe double or quadrupled.

I now own both an indoor and outdoor PurpleAir sensor, and the next thing I need to solve in Paku is immediately obvious: how to view two overlapping sensors.

Thinking about releasing Paku 7.0 sooner rather than waiting for the 27 release cycle 🤔 it's ready to go, has a lot of nice improvements, wildfire season is well underway, and the only feature I would have to pull is the large portrait widget

More importantly though, I've decided to start donating a portion of proceeds each month to organizations working on climate change, wildfire mitigation, or wildfire relief efforts. This month I'm donating $900 to the CTWS Wildfire Recovery Fund.

The Bench Fire has already burned six homes in the Warm Springs tribal community, and 80% of the reservation is under evacuation orders. Each month, I'll post the organization and receipt on and in the update this fall, you'll be able to see this in the app.

Apple has a different Smart Stack widget padding for every single watch size. Is there some API to get these values? padding() isn't it. I don't think scenePadding() either. It's also such a pain that you can't preview the real Live Activity layout on a watch sim.

Pretty happy with this, always wanted the chart in the live activity and never got around to it. They're also push backed now, and will update much more reliably. They can also be set up to start automatically when AQI gets bad.
