Technology that makes you better… I’m excited to be building a completely novel way to use haptics to deliver feelings, not notifications. #nowhiring (designers and engineers wanted)

Did Zuck and Trump trade a TikTok shutdown for the ability to post on FB uncensored? Just sayin....

If I’m reading what @sheeraf said in her book correctly, this tweet of mine wasn’t off base. Congrats on the book Sheera!!

iOS peeps: I am building a new app that combines media, haptics, and smart home in a very innovative way. I need someone *proficient* at SwiftUI and Combine available to help. Know anyone? Send them to me!

Every other Instagram Story I flip through is an ad right now. I take that as a sign that FB is trying to make up ground on revenue goals for 2020. (?)

RIP Remote. First app on the App Store; 14 years since I wrote its first line of code.

6) In 2010, I sat down with with Steve to show him how Remote controlled Apple TV with swipes, and he said, “our next Apple TV Remote should be this without a screen”. It took five years (lots of stuff paused when Steve died), but eventually Siri Remote came out and was just that

One more tidbit: in ‘08, @FlyingEagleBear @otherlygarrett and I had a working prototype of widgets on Apple TV, controlled by Remote: Stocks, weather, even an American Idol voting widget. So many ideas...

10) The ultimate vision for Remote still has not been realized, by anyone. The home is still a disjointed experience. HomeKit and Alexa are getting us closer, but there is still much to do to make the rooms we live in into elegant, ambient, intelligent experiences. Working on it.

11) The name originally considered for Remote was “iControl”. But some management felt it was too audacious.

4) While we shipped it only with iTunes and Apple TV control, my prototype also allowed me to turn on/off lights, TVs and Receivers (via an IR adaptor), and save and resume a room’s state as a “Scene”.

3) It was the first production App the App Store team used to test their upload flow to the Store, hence first app on the App Store!

Quick facts: 1) I started writing it in 2006, before I could even see the iPhone UI (I made my own UI elements); 2) When Steve saw it, he was nervous the App Store wouldn’t be a hit, so he wanted Apple to have apps (we also had Hold’Em)
