Spoke at a web dev meetup Wednesday night about āhome-cookedā apps. It went great! iA Presenter is a nice tool. https://blakewatson.com/home-cooked/

Is FaceID coming to Apple Studio Display at some point?
That would go a long way toward making passkeys accessible to me (biometric ones anywayāI donāt really understand what options I have).

Trying to decide if itās time to join some webrings. Yes, right? But which ones?
Had to put together a talk on short notice and Iām using @ia Presenter. Itās freaky how well this tricks you into writing a good talk instead of fiddling with slides for hours.

Procrastinating starting on a talk I'm supposed to give on Wednesday.
I love how social.lol is full of avatars by @heyheymomo and @andycarolan.
Mac apps Iāve been enjoying lately (both old and new):
- Ivory: welcome this fantastic Mastodon client to the Mac App Store!
- Tot: this replaced the built-in Stickies app for me. And itās free!
- Silicio: luxurious mini-player that works with Apple Music and Spotify
- iA Writer: great for writing and has all the features I need to be my main notes store.
- Things: Iām not a todo junkie but I canāt keep everything in my head all the time. Things helps me remember what needs to be done.
I dislike the UI pattern of āfloating action buttonsā because they end up blocking some part of the app I want to click or read. I get why they exist, though.
It kind of pisses me off that I canāt take a screenshot of a Netflix video. I understand DRM to an extent but a single still seems like fair game idk.
(My only attempt was using macOSā screenshot tool while using Firefox. Iām sure there are other ways.)

Very much enjoying Tycho this week for some reason. I think my favorite album is Epoch.
Yay just installed the Ivory Mac app! Iāve been using the test version and itās been pretty great.
No one I know agrees with me but I like Apple Numbers. And the reason I like it is the reason most people Iāve asked donātāNumbers letās you put multiple tables on a page and move them around.
@BinaryDigit@easymode.im Oh cool! Yeah I mean I can see that tho haha.
@BinaryDigit@easymode.im what kind of work do you do (if you feel like sharing)?
I wrote a little bit about the solitaire game I made with PixiJS. https://blakewatson.com/journal/i-made-a-web-based-version-of-sawayama-solitaire/
This is how I ended up on social.lol. There were so many choices. Then I realized my omg.lol page came with a Mastodon account if I wanted it. Problem solved. https://mastodon.social/@bastianallgeier/110379415772407351
I donāt know who needs this but https://butt.holdings/
