Hey @btaylor, just thought you should know that Air Quality Reader hasn’t updated its data in about a year - would be great to fix or take it down. It doesn’t look out of date unless you tap on a reading, and I’ve had some confused emails from Paku users about it not matching!

If any mutuals on the east coast want a free Paku Pro unlock (my PurpleAir app), send me a DM. Stay safe!

It’s really hard to learn how to use Icon Composer, especially for more complex shapes and designs. With the new speculars and refractions, even more so. I wish Apple published sample icons just like sample code, but since they don’t, this is the next-best thing.

Is there anything more annoying than a full screen view/modal that slides up but you can't dismiss immediately by swiping back down because of an inner scrollview bounce at the top that does absolutely nothing? I don't think so.

Simple but useful UX: When you open the Mercury app while on a phone call, it tells you the call didn’t come from them to prevent scams.

I helped build Mercury Personal and have technically been using it longer than anyone (hackathon perks 😄) - I genuinely love it. The waitlist is finally ending today, and if you want to try it out, you can get $120 when you sign up with my link! mercury.com/share/kb

A wild thing about Google Ads: hackers can run an ad showing your domain, but it actually leads to a phishing site. @Mercury got hit by this 3 years ago—but within a week, we launched a device verification system to stop it. I wrote up the story for our eng blog (link below)
Screenshot of a google ad for mercury.com. A caption reads "the ad shows the real mercury.com domain"

ALT Screenshot of a google ad for mercury.com. A caption reads "the ad shows the real mercury.com domain"

A screenshot of a phishing site with the URL app-mercurys.com. The site shows a rough copy of the real mercury.com login. A caption reads "But it takes you to a phishing site!"

Is there anyone know why the app icon on the App Store displays as the dark mode one??? So weird.

Pretty fast⚡️. I’ve just released the @MusicMateApp_ which has adapted to the iOS 18 feature. But I can’t mention it in the description 🤫

Anyone knows what’s going on with dark mode icons on the App Store? Some apps seem to have their transparent dark mode template exposed as app icon and we can’t figure out why. (one sec is affected as well, but luckily I didn’t read the specs and included the background – so not as bad) FB15111346

Anyone else having issues that the App Store shows the wrong version of the App Icon after the #iOS18 update? For Study Snacks, the tinted icon is now shown in the App Store and on App Store Connect instead of the light one. The light icon is included, is visible under iOS 18 in light mode and is also shown in App Store Connect under the include assets.
