I love going to vote in person. There’s something wonderful about participating in a constructive activity alongside many other people, even if they don’t share the same values or opinions.

andhash39,

@marcel It always makes me feel connected to my community in a way I wish was more common!

A slightly hidden feature of Thought Path - if you long press on any item and tap “Select", you enter a multi-select mode that allows you to complete or delete multiple items at once!

I'm so happy with my @IceCubesApp codebase. Adding inline posting within an AppIntent was actually five lines of code! Next is having inline account selection exposed as AppEntry!

andhash39,

@dimillian the API here is beautiful, I've never looked at any of the app's code before I know exactly what's happening on every line :chefskiss:

Hey internet friends 🤗 I have a big announcement to make and this time it doesn't have anything to do with apps 🤓

Last month, our daughter was born and it is so incredible and wonderful to have her in the family now. I haven't been very active here nor done any work recently, as my wife and I were busy getting to know the little one and enjoying quality time to bond as a young family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 🥰

PS: As many of you know I am very fond of dad jokes, so now I am officially entitled to make ‘em 😜

andhash39,

@manuel Congratulations! :D

Welcome to the second installment of 'I Might Have Made an Oopsie'—a series where I publicly therapize myself regarding my perhaps misguided decision to move to a small town.

Today’s topic: The People!

andhash39,

@marcel as someone who also came from a place full of teens and pensioners near the North Sea, and moved to a big city, I resonate with this a lot. Great mini-series!

Thankfully never seen anyone piss on the street in London; the English culture of quiet desperation has its perks.

andhash39,

@marcel hahaha, thankfully they can't physically detach us from Europe 😆 tbf we don't have much on the East coast until you get to Newcastle, which most English people seem to think is a Beyond-the-Wall situation.

andhash39,

@marcel oh they would definitely move us to the other side of the Atlantic if they could 🙃

This was a great use case for previews, which imho are pretty rare.

andhash39,

@marcel I find previews juuust slow and buggy enough that I don't feel an appreciable speed difference over re-deploying to my device every time.

Being on device also means you frequently test the whole application at once (ala integration testing over unit testing), and I tend to keep a bunch of state in the environment, which you then have to inject into all your previews.

Tonight I worked on not sending reminder notifications for entries users already added.

E.g. if a person set a reminder to add an afternoon entry for 3pm but they added it already at 2pm, the reminder is rescheduled for the next day.

Not a cool new feature but an important little user experience detail.

andhash39,

@marcel I appreciate this! It's always tempting to work on the thing that looks exciting, but it's not always the most important thing.

I'm VERY happy with how this turned out.

friends, I'm coming up blank on this. I'm using ScrollViewReader's scrollTo(id:) and everything works in theory. In reality the ScrollView randomly offsets everything in some direction. Slightly wiggling the ScrollView makes it snap into the right position.

Am I holding it wrong? Is this just broken?

andhash39,

@marcel is it a lazy stack of views? I imagine it is, given the number of potential days. I've had some consistently weird behaviour trying to put a big lazy stack in a scroll view (which you would think is the primary purpose of the lazy stacks…)

I know it's not a fix, but could you achieve the same effect with a single view and an animated transition when the data is updated?

andhash39,

@marcel 🤔

I feel like the main problem with the old version is the snapping back into place effect? If you made the background card be part of the view that was data-driven, so that each one was distinct, it could look better?

Unfortunately I think my stance for inscrutable SwiftUI issues is that trying to work with them isn't worth the hassle if you can avoid them :/

andhash39,

@marcel woooo! 🎉

Making Thought Capture's Search tab more useful by adding some buttons to see all your thoughts with a particular tag!

The current design feels a bit... candy shop? 🤔 I want the user to be able to immediately pick out the tags by colour.

andhash39,

@manuel Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback Manuel! :D

You're right about the contrast. They are defined by me though, so I'll play around with them! It's a bit challenging for me since I'm red/green colourblind, so I really appreciate it.

Honestly, I had ChatGPT pick some colours as a starting point 😅

andhash39,

@manuel I also don't hate the outline effect by making the shadow harsher; it kinda works with the bright colours?

Thinking about making a calendar app that doesn't let you attach times to events.

It would focus on long term planning over the course of a year, rather than a day-by-day list of meetings. Like a big wall calendar.

Does anyone know of anything like this? 🤔

andhash39,

@marcel ayyy, snap 🙌

I think the main thing to work out is how digital can improve on analogue. I have a giant dry-erase wall calendar that shows all the days of the year at once, and I love it.

Previously, I would say my life had, roughly, three states:

  • Sleep
  • Interacting with humans
  • Wearing headphones

After reading Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism, I put my headphones in a sock drawer. It's been two days.

The world is... quiet? It's nice.

So, I'm a trader, right?

@simonbs I think we are - I’ve been waiting for all the Americans to wake up and log on to App Store Connect to see what the general discourse is

New bible just dropped

andhash39,

@marcel I just finished it! Thanks for the recommendation, I really liked it :D

As someone born in 96, I thought some of his discussion of Gen Z and mental health was a bit off. Not that it was incorrect per se, but very heavy handed and needing more nuance.

All his advice about technology use was golden. I already think about this stuff, but having someone describe it in such an actionable and direct way was very very useful.

My AirPods pro have been in a drawer for a few days now :’)

andhash39,

@marcel :) At only ~300 pages, how can I not?

Thought Path is the smart inbox for your brain - and it's now available to download on iOS! 🎉

This app is already the scratchpad for my whole life. Add any snippet of text to Thought Path as it occurs to you, and easily see the output of your brain over time, on a map, or search for specific keywords.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thought-path/id6458731090

Thought Path shown on an iPhone. The screen is taken up by a large map, hovering over England and northern France, showing thoughts at the location they were captured. Above the phone reads the title “Location Tag Your Ideas”.
Thought Path shown on an iPhone. A sheet is presented covering roughly half of the screen, showing a red tag called “Important”. A name text field and color picker are shown allowing the user to edit these qualities. Above the phone reads the title “Filter Your Thoughts By Keywords”.

andhash39,

@hotdogsladies I hope it's working out for you! :)
