Habe mir gerade vorgestellt in ganz Deutschland gäbe es ein Checkin-Checkout-Ticket wie von @FAIRTIQ und für alle gibt es einfach ein Monats-Capping von 49 Euro. 🤯🤡

Great API! We are using it to export a whole journey into a PDF. Especially handy if the journey spans over several stops. x.com/myell0w/status/1597245…

One API I wish more apps would support is integration into the iOS screenshot system via `UIScreenshotServiceDelegate`.
This allows for very quick Full Page PDF Exports of your app 👌

Starting in iOS 16.1 (beta 2), WidgetBundle supports having if statement with #available clause (and only this specific clause) in its body.
That's pretty useful to add more widget configurations that are supported only in later OSes like ActivityConfiguration.

There are a couple of candidates for favorite features of iOS 16. Timer on the lock screen is definitely one of them.
ALT iPhone lock screen. Picture of Colorado mountains. 7:04. Timer on screen with 4 minutes, 49 seconds.

In time for #WWDC22 I’m launching a personal project!
Go get it from gdayworld.app
I’ve been the “designer who messes with code” for so long it’s past time I actually shipped something of my own.
ALT Three round rectangular tiles: a welcome message saying “G’Day World”, a map with an emoji in its center, and an album cover with play/shuttle controls.

“If apps like Uber, Instagram or Twitter are the Walmarts and MacDonalds of the app world, indie apps are the local shop and burger joint around the corner. They are usually more personal, less greedy and just nicer.”

Do you like Structured? Did you know it's built by a single person (@leoMehlig) and not a big cooperation?
That's what we call an "indie app" 🧐 and there are many more awesome indie apps out there 😍
Learn about some of them in my blog post: blog.structured.app/indie-ap…

We recently shipped an updated podcast player in the Substack app. It’s fully-featured – an app within an app – and it was a delight to combine all of my favorite audio design patterns into one experience.
Here’s a behind the scenes 🧵at my favorite aspects:

With working collaborative editing I felt confident to take the next step. Which was finding an icon for the App. I decided to work with @matthewskiles. This turned out to be a wonderful decision. It was just a joy to work with him on the icon. Just look at the wonderful result.
