@matthewcassinelli @Jeehut We were tapping phones all over Deep Dish Swift. Pretty handy for these IRL situations!

First day of my trip in 2022 I was about to go to bed but I saw a post from Charlie saying a group was meeting up at a coffee shop. Ended up being a core memory meeting a great group of people for the first time.

Hello #WWDC folks – I am hosting an informal Shortcuts User Group meetup on Tuesday, June 11 from 3-5pm.

We'll meet at SoFA Market (right next door to The Talk Show at The California Theater).

I'm giving away Elgato Prompters and Stream Deck Neos – I'll see you there! https://matthewcassinelli.com/event-join-me-at-the-shortcuts-user-group-meetup-for-wwdc24-in-san-jose/

I missed the big moment (1:1 meeting, leaving for a long weekend), but catching up and reading my chronological timeline, this has big old Twitter vibes. Love it, great work, team.

Sure sounds like those new conversational Siri features could be powered by AppIntents…

Finally watched the new Apple Immersive sizzle reel and why did no one tell me it had substantial Chiefs at the Super Bowl content?!

I would pay an exorbitant amount of money for every uncut second of that footage.

Polishing up a few more widget interactions, and then 1.4 should be all set. Very nice to feel good about this stuff for the first time in ~1200 years

A video of the timeline grid widget in Up Ahead. A bunch of coloured squares are scattered around a 5x5 grid, each representing events in a given day. Tapping a square opens a full-widget view of what that event is.

@MuseumShuffle @danielmgauthier Just using Chris’s contact information works wonders.

My latest “open source SDKs are cool, actually” story:

For a few months I'd been testing offering monthly/annual/one-time vs quarterly/annual/one-time and thanks to @revenuecat Paywalls and Experiments, discovered that quarterly (probably obviously) returned a higher LTV at the cost of few subscribers. Monthly had the inverse. Also, the default option (monthly or quarterly) was chosen miles above any other option, largely due to the footer paywall design.

Here's how it looked:

I wanted to offer all of the above and have two "defaults”: primarily the quarterly option, with monthly also exposed as a release valve for folks who didn't want to commit for more than a month. (I'd rather show two options than someone being turned off by a bigger price and bouncing.) However, the RC paywall didn't support showing two of four.

...until I forked it and updated the footer design myself. I switched the list for a grid and revealed two by default, expanding to show more.

@agiletortoise I'm probably weird in that I default(ed) to the shorter durations subs (everyone else I know seems to push annual if they have monthly + annual) but between emphasizing the smaller number and the wishful-thinking “churn can't happen to me”, I've pushed monthly first for a bit. I think quarterly is actually a nice sweet spot. Small enough to still look pretty cheap, long enough that there aren't a ton of renewal emails.

@MuseumShuffle

  1. Why thank you! ☺️
  2. I… think so? Is your refrigerator running?

@thillsman@mastodon.social avatar

@agiletortoise Yeah, that's true. It's a fascinating subject. There are so many different things to try. I... might be a bit obsessed.

My recent Geology grad is doing fieldwork in Wyoming and found a substantial-sized dinosaur fossil.

So, anyway, kids, when we grown-ups say if you work at it, your dreams can come true, we’re not lying.

I’d like to see a dramatic and miraculous Norris overtake of Sainz, Verstappen clip a wall and end out of the points… and that’s it? Get the win, Charles. #monacogp

OMG AN OVERTAKE

thillsman,
@thillsman@mastodon.social avatar

@daniel I don’t know where to look for this data, but I’d like to see on-track overtake counts at Monaco by year. Was that Bottas one literally the only one so far outside of maybe some at the start (that were rolled back after the red flag)?

Hell yeah, I just got approval to give away a bunch of Stream Decks and a Prompter or two at WWDC :)

@matthewcassinelli How can I find you there? 😂

@matthewcassinelli Ahhh, I fly back Wednesday morning. I'll plan better next year.

@matthewcassinelli I can do that! 😊

Now that I'm almost done with supporting landscape mode with @PleaseDontRain I'm realizing that I might be running out of excuses for not having an iPad version. 😳

@MuseumShuffle @PleaseDontRain And macOS and visionOS and tvOS and watchOS.

@MuseumShuffle That’s a common refrain.

My Vision Pro recently (Monday?) developed a faulty left eye display. All video output (passthrough, immersive, reset boot screen) was displayed crisply but with uniform grain all over it. (Effectively if a Photoshop grain slider was slid up.)

A few interesting observations:

I called Apple Support and did the software things and remote diagnostics on Wednesday, then took it to the Apple Store yesterday.

@MuseumShuffle Probably. You two are a lot alike.
