i can sign into my developer account and access app store connect just fine right now.

sad to see but not unexpected. Picked up a OnePlus 15 last winter to screw around with GameHub since the 15 has a lot of ram and the most recent snapdragon 8 elite. It’s such a solidly designed device with a nice flavor of mostly stock android.

software updates have been lacking, which was the writing on the wall. Rip to a real one.

What TV show are you talking about?

Possession is such a fantastically special movie, heavily due to Neill and Adjani’s performances.

RIP to a real one.

Well this is late, as the post got flagged and reinstated, so I didn't get a chance to update with this comment, but better late than never:

Hi HN, I'm a solo developer and Trophikos is something I built mostly to scratch my own itch.

Most recipe apps I tried didn't fit what I was looking for, I wanted something to keep track of the food I cook, and the cocktails I make, plus a way to share something nicely formatted with the people in my life.

It's native to Apple platforms, there's no advertising and no third-party analytics, and sync runs through your own iCloud account rather than a server I control. Premium features (iCloud sync, custom themes, an Apple TV companion) are behind a subscription; the app itself is free to try. Honest tradeoffs: it's iOS-only right now (macOS is on my list, not built yet), and it's deliberately not a meal planner or a discovery feed, if you want those, this isn't the app. It's a library for things you already cook.

I've been thinking about this idea and concept for the past couple years, but finally started designing and building late last year. I am really excited to have it out in the world finally.

Happy to answer anything about the design decisions, the privacy approach, or anything else I'd genuinely value feedback, including the critical kind.

Thank you! I haven’t implemented support for importing from IG, would you drop a couple of links and I’ll take a look and see! Searching on meta anything is so bad.

Hi, I’m working on Trophikos, a recipe organization app for iOS. Not a meal planner, not a social feed. Just a calm, well-designed place to collect your own recipes, food, baked goods, and even native support for cocktails. Manual entry, OCR importing, URL importing, and the ability to share and export.

I’m still actively working on it but just submitted to App Store review. TestFlight is open if anyone wants to try it before launch: https://testflight.apple.com/join/baWAQ4tj

Happy to hear any feedback, especially from people who currently store recipes across Notes, screenshots, and 15 open browser tabs.

I am actively working to support iOS 27 (and the other 27 OS’s) and will be posting development updates over on mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@saxtechsolutions

How can they justify an exponential price increase like this? The blog post doesn’t really mention new features aside from bringing features from the desktop website to the mobile app…

Even though I bought my lifetime membership years ago, I think it’s time to explore other options. I don’t like this.

That’s truly awful. What a broken tool.

on Tuesday, with 4.6, I waited for my 5 hour window to reset, asked it to resume, and it burned up all my tokens for the next 5 hour window and ran for less than 10 seconds. I’ve never cancelled a subscription so fast.

I am not a full back-end developer, more full stack currently. I do not have a portfolio. Linking to github and highlighting projects is usually enough for prospective employers and gets me into interviews.

How much RAM are you running on?

Meta's algorithm on IG has gone so far down the toilet over the years. Before I deleted my account last year, I'd have to scroll through 5-7 sponsored posts before I'd actually see something from someone I actually follow. Nevermind the amount of regular old ads that were inserted into my feed.

My brother jumped on the Ioniq 5 deal back in October and just got hit with the surprisingly high registration fees too. I know registration fees in CO are high, but having people jump on sub $200 a month car payments and then expecting them to pay $1000+ or more to register feels bad.

Recently interviewed with a startup, and during the process via email, I was constantly communicating with different people. After the 3rd interview with the CTO, I thought they ghosted me and emailed the last interviewer and got no response. Over a week later the director of engineering emailed me to schedule the 3rd interview with the CTO. I immediately knew that they had internal communication issues and decided I wasn't going to pursue the role further.

My current role has a somewhat misleading title, but to offset that I make sure I really highlight my experience and the projects I've worked on. If an interviewer starts asking me about my title and why I'm applying for something more 'generic' I immediately know they didn't read my resume or pay attention and I'm out.

Years ago I walked out of an all day interview, maybe 2 hours in, because one of the engineers was on his phone the entire time, seemingly just scrolling and not paying attention.

It's too bad they waited this long to be transparent about what happened. I already uninstalled and found another alternative. Collecting analytics without informing your users is pretty not okay. Good luck.

Same, been using it on my Macbook since last summer, and just got a desktop Mac earlier this summer and it's my main browser there too. Split views are A+, the different zones is really useful for work related stuff, and I like the layout of the browser as a whole.

I stopped using Google search 5-6 years ago in favor of DDG. I haven't replaced my DDG searches with ChatGPT or any other AI tools.

NextLight is truly an incredible service.

Halide (iOS Camera App) let's you shoot RAWs with no post processing.

Same, Arc has been pretty great so far, and they just launched their iOS "version" which has been neat too. It's become my default on my macOS machines.

I am not sure about your idea here, I'm under 35, own my home, and insist on buying second hand furniture for vastly different reasons. I scour craiglist, thrift stores, and my local flea markets for vintage furniture, and have almost entirely furnished my small 2 bedroom house over the last 6 years. A big part of this simply deals with build quality and real wood. I know furniture built before 1980 tends to be real wood, and I'd much rather have solid wood construction over particle board nonsense that won't last 10 years.

My searching and insistence has required a lot of patience, but it's ultimately been worth it for me. My holy grail was a 1970's Danish Teak dining room table (w/ 8 chairs!) that someone locally was selling for $800. Anything modern that's of comparable quality would easily be well above $2500. As of now, almost everything in my house is from the 1960/70s, and made of real wood. I'm willing to spend the money on these things instead of junk from Wayfair.

I too have had 0 issues with Sublime Text on my 14in M1 Macbook Pro...I've been using the machine since last March and never noticed anything like this...

You're spot on, this is _THE_SITE for extremely detailed analysis of of cameras/lenses/etc. I have no idea what will end up filling the gap of losing something like this.

I hope Chris and Jordan continue on their Youtube journey and make the content they've been making, but man, there's still a need for a detailed text based site with super indepth info about modern camera equipment.

Such a bummer.

While travelling, being able to have a rather large library of classic games to play, while using the device that I'm already carrying is a huge benefit. While I wish emulation on iOS was a little easier, using Delta/AltStore is not difficult or anything.

I've carried a Backbone with me and played a ton of GBA games with touchscreen controls and the backbone, and it's pretty great, depending on the game. Carrying the backbone is a lot smaller than a Nintendo Switch or one of the many larger screened android emulation devices that are now available.

This is all up to personal preference obviously, but having one less device to carry is a big plus for me. Game emulation is the one thing that makes me question whether or not it's time to ditch iOS and just get an Android for my daily driver...

And it generally gets much worse MPG compared to regular gasoline!

Take advantage of this remote workers, replace your crappy Staples/Officemax/Gamer chair with a nice Steelseries or Herman Miller chair for a fraction of the cost. It's 100% worth it.

Good job Snake!

Heck ya! How are you processing your negatives? Negative Lab Pro? Manually creating positives in Photoshop?

You're correct. Most people who do their own scans either use a macro lens or a telephoto with extension tubes to create a macro lens of sorts. Then you need a negative holder such as this one: https://www.negative.supply/shop-all/basic-film-carrier-35. You need a light table or LED hot light, and a way to hold the camera and you're in business.

Personally, I've been scanning my own 35mm negatives for the past few years with both a Full-frame DSLR and an APS-C Mirrorless camera, and get much much better results than I'd been getting via my local film processing lab and their scanning.

Scanning negatives with a modern digital camera still retains a lot of the filmic quality that we've come to expect via shooting film. Obviously you lose the "resolution" and ability to blow those images up once scanned, but you can 100% still see the grain, color reproduction, and analog anomalies that we're used to by shooting film.
