Version 2.0 of Gradiora, my AI language tutor app, now based on GPT-Live-1, was just approved by Apple. gradiora.com/ios

Got some good improvements completed today. Now time to find some people willing to test the latest build for #nihongo (or other languages of course)

Astra 6 at Extra High and fast mode is working through some key features now. That reset better show up in about 5 min…

Is OpenAI waiting for Apple review as well? I have a dot in my desktop app and web and get native notifications on my phone but when I click them nothing happens, doesn't seem like there is a dot in the iOS yet? @thsottiaux

The feedback from learners using the updated app with GPT-Live-1 is great! Multilingual pronunciation still remains the biggest issue but it is now a really useful language tutor to build up confidence in speaking.

Decided to try to implement a playful aesthetic for Mandarin speaking practice (as @dhh says, let’s make software frivolous and fun!).

Hot take, if you’re a solo dev on the $200 plan and run out of usage due to Astra you probably are spending too much time building and not enough on marketing.

I must say that I like throwing a first simple design (the first image) to Codex and ask for variations with image to explore ideas for where to take it once the functionality is there. I like the more colorful background, might need to explore that direction more.

Open to alternative designs and tutorials visualizations for mural @iChuloo ? Considering trying a PR.

OK, GPT-Live-1 API is generally a great improvement and shows a very promising direction and will unlock things immediately. But unfortunately it is somewhat worse at pronunciation in several languages. Not great for a language learning app so might have to restrict the scope.

Gpt-live-1 finally enabled the product experience I wanted. Excited to polish this over the weekend and release the completely redesigned app next week (if approval is quick)

Anyone else stuck with football scores stuck at the top of the timeline? Can’t find a way to remove…

Everybody is praising GPT 6 Astra for games & code etc. My magic moments so far probably even more with computer use. "Do my expenses by reviewing all the files in this folder and cross reference with email and calendar, ask for any clarifications." Just did it, awesome use case

Did the app store need another gym workout logging app? No, but I needed one that did exactly what I wanted. Fully free and respects privacy with no data being collected. Available here: apps.apple.com/us/app/protoc…

Anyone open to give some feedback on a free iOS puzzle game? apps.apple.com/us/app/vinkel… #gamedev

Thanks @danWpriestley @elonmusk and the whole Tesla team. Excited to showcase what electrification of freight at scale can really look like. A good next step on that path! techcrunch.com/2026/08/18/ei…

Being able to just tell Plinth: Generate a set of ASC ready screenshots for .. using the attached images and design from the codebase in ~/Developer/.. All text and images remain easily editable after. And then upload them with asc cli. Such a time saver for quick iteration.

With Codex and ASC CLI it felt like screenshots was one of the remaining frustrating parts. So I made Plinth: a free, open-source, local-first screenshot editor built for agents. github.com/DavidHallgren/pli… Download, 'bun install && bun run dev' and point Codex at the folder.
