Camaïeu 1.2 is out: compose, breathe, timer. Last change before Shipaton closes, so this entry is mostly a thank-you to the people whose replies changed the icon, the onboarding and how I see the next app. #Shipaton #BuildInPublic maevaliebling.ch/devlog/three-modes-and-a-few-thank-yous/

I started actually using Camaïeu, a minute or two of breathing when the afternoon gets heavy. It feels like a healthy little break, but made me my own first critic: too much on screen. The next update rebuilds the UI around three modes. maevaliebling.ch/devlog/the-a... #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

Camaïeu 1.1 is out. Small fixes, and my first ever performance pass. Both things I'd worried about turned out to cost nothing. The real issue only appeared when Xcode faked an overheating phone. Measure first, then touch. Devlog : maevaliebling.ch/devlog/right... #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

Camaïeu is live on the App Store. A slow-moving picture to sit with for a few minutes: a focus timer that lives inside the scene, a breath pacer the whole picture follows. A calm place for a short break. apps.apple.com/app/id680022... #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

Friday devlog: one step short of blinking. Camaïeu's free things were buried among the dimmed ones, so the first tap hit the sheet four seconds after launch. Three small moves fixed that. Also: a bug that was the sandbox clock, and 1.0 is in review. maevaliebling.ch/devlog/one-s...

Wednesday clip on the devlog: Camaïeu's breath pacer running 4-7-8, the relaxing one. In for four, hold for seven, out for eight, and the sea breathes with you. One look among many: ring, pattern and picture are all yours to change. #Shipaton #BuildInPublic Devlog: maevaliebling.ch/devlog/four-...

Monday question on the devlog: does Camaïeu need onboarding? Almost everything is visible on the surface, except two things: compose mode, and the fact that the breathing curve is draggable. Hints, a tour, or nothing at all? maevaliebling.ch/devlog/does-... #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

Clean week on Camaïeu: nothing broke. The breath pacer got rebuilt, and like the focus timer you can now move and resize it. Big ring over tiny gears, smaller one above the sea... your call. Icon: the sea won. Details in the devlog: maevaliebling.ch/devlog #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

In Camaïeu, you can recolor loops. Same gears, same seed. The shapes are drawn in grayscale and the colors land at the very last moment. maevaliebling.ch/devlog/ #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

Camaïeu breathes, its icon can't. This week's open question: which of these two still reads as alive while standing still: the cell or the sea? Deciding Friday. It goes to the App Store next week. maevaliebling.ch/devlog/alive... #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

I wanted Camaïeu wallpapers to take one breath when you wake your phone. iOS had other plans: it decides which Live Photos animate as wallpapers, and doesn't say how. Three device checks, one deleted workaround. maevaliebling.ch/devlog/wallp... #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

One cell, dancing. Monday's family question got no answers online, so I asked people around me. The offline answer was unanimous: cell. Sound off, let it loop. #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

Camaïeu's one free shape family has to carry the whole app alone: the paywall only gates range (more families, a wider palette), never the core. Cell, gear or wave? What do you think ? #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

What I have so far: two shape families on one Metal renderer, a palette engine, breathing + focus modes, shareable look codes, and a debug panel where a real interface should be. That last part is August's job. Tour here: maevaliebling.ch/devlog/what-... #Shipaton #BuildInPublic

I avoid social media almost completely. So naturally I've entered a hackathon judged on building in public. I'm building Camaïeu — living generative art for iPhone — shipping this month for #Shipaton. Three posts a week, no performing: maevaliebling.ch/devlog/ #BuildInPublic
