They don't tweet about it but poolside.ai secretly has one of the most coherent sites in the industry today

Today we're launching our first public Poolside models: Laguna M.1 and Laguna XS.2, and we've built ❈Shimmer, an instant-on VM sandbox with Poolside Agent pre-installed so you can try them out.
Go play out our new models for free, and build something fun → shimmer.run

Replay is six years old today. @dizzyup and I have made stuff together for a decade, but it was in covid we thought we could get a little more serious about it (still not that serious). For six years now this little side project has been evenings and weekends and increasingly, vibe coding on trains and planes.
Our first app, Umbra, sells more copies per week now more than ever. We've had hundreds of thousands of downloads and we have so much exciting stuff nearly ready to go on Echo. ty for being part of it. replay.software

Also recent, at the start of 2026 I updated the way my wallpaper collections are applied on macOS Tahoe. Adding wallpapers to the System Settings pane no longer works via scripting (😞), so I made a lightweight app and helper to apply them (🤓). Bit over-engineery, but fun.

You can get the app by purchasing any wallpaper pack. Phase released last year, and Aqueux is the largest and most popular collection (and was semi-recently updated with new Tahoe variants) 🎨

With Echo, we wanted to create a clean, modern and powerful new SSH client for iPhone iPad. My personal highlight is the theming engine that extends Ghostty terminal themes to the entire interface — replay.software/echo

Also finally updated my personal site and brought all my wallpapers under one roof. Hoping this gives me some motivation to spend some free time creating some more! @nextjs app router under the hood, @tailwindcss, and @stripe for anyone curious 🧑💻hector.me/wallpapers

Aqueux also got a small update - for those asking for one, there’s a new Sequoia themed wallpaper variant! 🎨 (I’ll be on top of the next release, promise)

Unreasonably excited about the latest beta of Pika (superhighfives.com/pika), my open-source colour picker for macOS. It now integrates with the system colour picker, meaning you can tweak colours, drop in hex codes, and generally have infinitely more granular control over your contrast. Everyone wins!
You can try it out by subscribing to beta releases in Pika's settings, then hitting "Check for updates..."

Why do some interactions just feel great?
To find out, I wrote a 3000-word essay on deconstructing the craft of interaction design through metaphors and examples.
