We still don't have any news from Twitter.
We are honored that so many of you have chosen us as the way to browse Twitter for the past 12+ years and hope it can continue.
In the meantime, we have been working on something else…

ALT We're hoping to launch Ivory sometime this month. No ads, no algorithm, just a decentralized network of posts from the people you choose to follow. If you love Tweetbot for Twitter, you'll love Ivory for Mastodon.

Okay y'all, I think I found the best idea for the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro. I added a cat that lives up there like a tamagotchi and just hangs out and does cute stuff as you browse Reddit in my app (Apollo).

🎓 Today I learned:
In the #iOS simulator you can increase/decrease the dynamic font size with a very simple keyboard shortcut which is great for testing #accessibility through your apps. 👷
⚙️ The two shortcuts are:
⌥ ⌘ +
(increase font size)
⌥ ⌘ -
(decrease font size)

Here's how to do it with your own pets: Take a nice portrait of them, then use DALL-E's edit photo tool to erase everything but their head. Give it a good caption and GO! #dalle2

🆕 Does your app display full-screen media content?

There’s been some changes in iOS/iPadOS 16 to how view controllers appear in modal presentations. Split View controllers, in particular, change a lot. I have a LOT of info here (it’s long, perhaps too long, with many, many screenshots): hacknicity.medium.com/view-c…

This is great advice. Just start making games. Any games. That's how you learn. DOOM was my 90th game.
