i had a lot of people asking how I created the 3d pins for my travel app and why not share the secret sauce, right? 🤷‍♂️ here's the step-by-step guide ⬇️

every indie dev learns this the hard way: shipping the app is 10% of the work. distribution is the other 90%. this is the first thing i've seen that actually automates the part most devs hate 🙌

decided to spruce up the paywall today and added a logo animation loving how this looks right now!

created this fun koi pond using swiftui and metal does it have a purpose? no... have I been moving lily pads and creating ripples in the water for the last hour? maybe...

every “small update” somehow ends with me touching half the codebase

built a fun pool shader this weekend! even made it intractable with a rubber duck and a tube 🐤 made with SwiftUI + Metal

for anyone who wants it, I open sourced this shader here ⬇️ github.com/haplollc/SiriGlas…

was really loving the look of the new Siri, so I decided to recreate it with shaders! it's even reacts to sound in the same way made with swiftui + metal

my roadmap is just a notes app full of things apple will probably sherlock in the next WWDC 😅

apple intelligence is massively underrated for adding little features like this i added a mini language learning game to my travel app that you can play while your trip is generating (or in the days before you leave) the whole thing is generated by the on-device model and supports 16 languages

every time i ship an update, i immediately think of 14 things i should’ve fixed before shipping it

claude hit me with the monthly limit so i guess i’m on PTO now

AI has made the App Store Review process 100x easier

still think one person + ai is going to become a surprisingly normal way to build a multi-million dollar software company

for anyone interested, I open sourced these sliders as a swift package! github.com/haplollc/Scrubber…

spent some time this weekend trying to recreate some of my favorite sliders think there's some room for improvement but was fun trying to create this SwiftUI package

anyone else color code their claude code windows?

Building is fun until you have to start doing marketing.
