Phillip Caudell @phill@mastodon.notsobig.co

Hello!

I still need to post an introduction, so here it goes.

I'm Phill, one of those designer/developer types. I quit my VC job a couple of years back to bootstrap my own business, The Not So Big Company (@updates).

I'm working on a fast and modern new mail client called Big Mail. The whole thing is written in Swift and SwiftUI, which has been an experience. 🤓

Launching very soon. In the meantime, enjoy some screenshots!

Our long ScrollView nightmare is finally over: an actual contentOffset!

The best thing announced today: I can finally use Grindr from my Mac!

it's not right but it's okay

Evri saying “We’ve got your parcel” feels more like a threat than anything else

(I like Gruber and I understand his sentiment but the way I cackled at that punchline 😂)

Gruber: A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME WITHOUT THE APP STORE

Man I would save so much time if I just did things right the first time.

And for the record, I think some devs SHOULD be treated differently.

It makes sense for Apple to help Spotify have the best app possible because guess what: IT HELPS TO SELL IPHONES.

No one is buying a phone they can’t run apps on. Apple’s position of “be grateful” is just detached from reality at this point. Totally bizarre.

Of course it’s kinda funny that even within a single press release they can’t make a coherent argument.

“Everyone is equal! Except for some select developers. And everyone loves the App Store! Except when we got so much ‘feedback’ we had to change it.”

😂

Guys I can’t see the “FedEx me an Apple Engineer” option in App Store Connect??

“developers compete on a level playing field”

“We’ve even flown our engineers to Stockholm to help”

We've reached the pedantic development stage lads

Found this little baby in our garden. No microchip. No response to posters I put up. Shelter said they are full.

I guess I have a kitty now…?

Finally got around to watching The Curse finale…
