Getting there with my new look-and-feel for Deluge (my in-development task management app for the chronically overwhelmed).

Lovely email from a user today, mentioned that he’d exhibited his zine at a zine fair and put a little “made with Octavo” text on the back cover :D

Getting to the point where I'm pretty happy with Deluge's review question UI.

Vintage Roland DXY pen plotter. I 3D printed a pen adapter, and here it is doing the self test page.

Next up, get it talking to a computer.

I wish there were a Mac browser that was just Safari in every way, apart from it had a proper customisable toolbar with separate non-combined buttons for functions like reader mode and hide distracting items.

Trying something out: told an AI to help with a refactor, but not write any code for me. Instead, it should prompt me for each place I'll need to update, and check my work. (I told it not to write code snippets for me to copy and paste either.)

I'm hoping this'll solve the thing I hate most about refactors (worrying about missing something, holding the holistic list of changes in my head), but make sure I fully internalise all the changes to the codebase.

I'm in a "setting my MSN display name to a song lyric” sort of mood.

(The 90s internet... you had to be there.)

Just got an app update through expedited review on the Mac App Store in one hour (from submission to approved). #macdev #BuildInPublic

In review for Google’s equivalent of external TestFlight. It’s been a few days so far… (Yes I built something in react native. Don’t worry, my first love is still UIKit!)

All of this.

Tying my brain in knots trying to figure out a sync logic issue. I've got repeating tasks, wherein the new instances of the task are created by a background job when the relevant criteria are true. Trying to work out how to handle two devices independently deciding to create the instance, before syncing.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I have the vaguest of memories of doing that. My childhood phone number was Bridgemere 347, and I'm pretty sure that there was a local code of 85 to be able to direct dial it from some areas…

For a task management app, would you expect/want it to use iCloud's encryption-at-rest features?

Does anyone know what percentage of data centres use fresh water for cooling (as opposed to some kind of closed loop system or non-water-based cooling)? And if that percentage is different for new builds vs established data centres?

Got a user request for templates in Octavo (my Mac app for PDF imposition).

Do you guys think I should build on top of the "Stationary Pad" finder flag? Do any of you actually use that? Advantages of using it, it'd handle the open-as-new-document flow for me. But the disadvantage is, I couldn't set a separate icon or extension for the template files.
