We have a few potential projects in our pipeline that may require contracting a skilled front-end web developer (HTML/CSS/JS) who isn’t afraid to dip into server-side templates (JSP, PHP, etc.) to bring those experiences to life. Remote position, US candidates only.

Who should we be talking to? (Boosts welcome!)

I feel like Apple surely can’t keep going with the iPhone naming increments. “iPhone 17”?? Will we see them this year drop the number? Or maybe switch to the year like all their OSes?

Regardless of look I’m just pleased to see more unity of UI across Apple’s broad range of OSes. I do worry about contrast, but maybe with their array of screen modes it’s not so much an issue?

I've taken to writing the name of what emoji I want to use inline and then using iOS autocomplete to transform it. Didn't think you could do it on macOS but you can! Just write the word and hit the emoji/fn key ⌨️

Hell froze over, I made a macOS app! github.com/robb/FolderIconGene Use it to generate custom folder icons that match the ones found on macOS Sequoia.

Screenshot, macOS

A small app called Folder Icon Generator, it shows a preview of a normal macOS folder with a custom icon in the style of system folders like Downloads or Desktop. The icon is the Tapback icon for HA HA.

Below that, a text field labeled Symbol Name with a value of "laugh".

Below that, a link to an article about changing folder icons and a by-line.
