I remember I used to complain about having to make a thumbnail for YouTube videos…. Updating screenshots for apps is 100x more annoying 😂😂😂
damn! app store screenshots take more time than building the app lol

Yo @jacksonhvisuals amazing read! Can I pay you to audit my app and give UI/UX feedback??
I've been really loving Chromagraph! As a way to provide some UI feedback, I got a little carried away and prototyped a bit of a redesign :) jacksonhayes.co/blog/redesig…

I have never been so amazed by colors. Just wow. Almost every photo I feed it, it’s so subtle yet unique and amazing.

So I recently badgered my cinematographer @steveyedlin into making my ideal iPhone still camera app. It shoots RAW, bypasses the iPhone's look processing and instead uses the same image processing we use on our movies. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

He’s not lying 😂 Past two days I’ve pretty much solely been using my Duo and tonight I picked up my 18 pro max and it felt like this obnoxiously tall skinny foreign device. That’s wildddd
Just picked up my old iPhone and it genuinely felt like this

Yeah idk how people deal with switch all the time. One week Claude is king, next is codex, followed by Grok or Gemini and then circles around all over… I like just having all my history in codex and I’ll deal with its short falls in the short term when it’s not king.
I really don’t wanna go through the hassle of switching away from Codex, but Grokbot is so much better as an agent it’s tempting

On an optimistic side of things… This feels kinda fun. Like pre orders have gotten so efficient. Tech has gotten so just…routine. This chaos reminds me of the old days. Maybe it’s time to break out the sleeping bag in front of the Apple Store 😊

Replying to @TMobile
@TMobile don’t be doing me dirty like this. *all screenshots are AFTER order is placed screens* 1st photo: immediately after ordered 2nd photo: the next loaded information screen 3rd photo: 10min after checkout, just checking status. They went from “YAY launch day” to 🤷🏻‍♂️

Duo pre-order was so chaotic and insane…. Well apparently Joining @TMobile and making a whole new account is getting me Oct 26th delivery….

My opinion is if you have the budget, you will never regret going for as much ram as you can.
Planning to buy a MacBook Pro M5 14" with 1TB 👀 But I’m confused between: → 16GB RAM → 32GB RAM My usage is mostly: • AI coding tools • Multiple coding agents • iOS development • Xcode + iOS Simulator • Lots of multitasking Is 16GB enough, or should I just go for 32GB and forget about it for the next few years? 😭 Mac users, what would you pick?
