Zhenyi Tan is on a tear
Zhenyi Tan, who I linked to back in April about his app History Book (which I still use), is on a bit of a tear. Just take a look at Tan’s website post archive and count the number of times you see the word “Launch”. His most recent projects; a Time Machine inspired UI ontop…

Our tulips are opening up Now that I’ve reached 75 of these posts I want to spruce them up a little. I’m going to start posting every single Thursday and I’d like to add a mobile photograph I’ve taken that week. I also plan on going back through all of the posts and making a…

_DavidSmith on the Apple Watch Series 3
_DavidSmith: While I’ll have to live with it for a few weeks to see if it really pans out, imagining a future where my iPhone is no longer a ‘must carry’ device is remarkable. This is why I’m ordering one. As I said I would.

Pedometer++ 3.0
_DavidSmith: I’ve been steadily working on Pedometer++ now for nearly four years. Over that time the core conceit of the app has remained the same, to motivate you to be more active. It has done this with colors, confetti, complications and streaks. Now I’ve added another tool to hopefully motivate, achievements! Pedometer++ continues to be…

100 words 010

Invisible iOS Home Screen Icons
Pretty cool trick from _David Smith. Since getting my iPhone 6 a few weeks ago I’ve been continuously trying to optimize the configuration of my home screen. The larger screen means that I now have an extra row of icons to fit onto the screen, but the physical size of device means that I can’t…

Emoji++ Keyboard
I feel the same way _David Smith does about trying to find Emoji in the default iOS keyboard: I feel like I’m always playing a game of memory each time I’m try to craft my perfectly composed Emoji response. It is pretty painful. So, Smith set out to fix it with Emoji++, a keyboard that…

Pedometer++ 2.0
I’m loving Pedometer++. If you don’t have it, get it. It is free. And, it has just seen a significant update that adds some great features and a new design. Also worth reading is the tidbits that David Smith has learned from his development of this application and the feedback he’s gotten from those that…
