It's the last week of my Japan vacation now (๐ญ), but on the plus side the nice folks at @TokyoiOSMeetup invited me to speak at their meetup tomorrow. I'll be giving a new SwiftUI talk, mentioning at least one feature I haven't seen anyoneย else cover ๐ meetup.com/tokyoiosmeetup/evโฆ

So I didnโt actually work on Threads, but I did build the majority of the Instagram Threads Ticket on iOS (and my manager did the same on Android) ๐
We had an absolute blast working out what graphics hacks we could use to create the holographic foil and interactive spin effects

And seeing the ticket be used as the banner image on the Wall Street Journal might just be the highlight of my career! ๐
In any case, I hope I can do a tech talk on the sticker soon! I hope you enjoyed it! ๐
Right, back to my regular work now. ๐

And it has been so fulfilling and heartwarming to see so many people enjoy playing with the ticket here on ticket. ๐ฅฐ
Iโll admit, I was skeptical that this ticket would make any kind of meaningful dent, but holy smokes was I wrong! ๐คฃ

One thing thatโs really frustrated me on Twitter, is that I missed out on the @timoliver username by 1 month in 2008 and itโs never been used ๐
Iโve contacted Twitter many times over the past decade asking to claim it, but no bananas ๐ญ
SO happy I got @timoliver on Threads. ๐

Uh, so if the Instagram Threads Ticket was freezing for you, make sure to download the latest version of IG that just landed on the App Store! ๐
