Cool stuff Charlie! I saw the onboarding is a known issue for iOS but I saw one page refer to my iPhone as Mac, just in case you missed it 😄
The open source code this was based on is a great start base for iOS, I added macOS and fixed some issues with my specific BLE devices so far. You can find it here buff.ly/1uSbWhy which itself is partly based on buff.ly/K5AZiXm itself.
Because some people were confused as to what I'm working on and why:
- Safari has no Bluetooth API
- You can patch BLE into WebKit though
- Prototype does it for iOS/macOS (using open source components)
- I use it to understand my inhaler
- Could be pixel buds too for example
For fun I was playing on Sunday with an open source BLE codebase and now I can connect to my medical inhalers config website from macOS! Next will be to properly support reading the updated values and services of it (showing 88 everywhere)
1.5x of annual is less than I would have expected! I'd love to hear how it worked out at some point if you like to share
As off yesterday we support the remote deletion of Apple Wallet cards created in Passable! A feature used by airlines and such for gate changes, in your hand to control your data. 🎟️ Additionally remote updates make sure passes are always up to date from now on!
After teasing the new quick edit over the weekend I wanted to share it again, a little more fleshed out. ✂️ This is going to be part of Eidetic's new quick edit feature! It is a screenshot and clip creator most useful to post online clips and screenshots. Like Coca 10+ years!
What are remote updates good for in a wallet pass? Well first of all you can remotely delete it, which brings you into control of your data. Secondly you can update a phone number or change typos and so forth! 🎟️
We have remote wallet card updates ✨🚀
Looks really fun
This is what it looks like in practice, to record a video clip with Eidetic. Enjoy a clip recorded from Passable for Mac. So Eidetic will close an important gap in my tooling from now on creating social clips! ☺️
So yesterday I did work on three updates, one for Passable, one for Coca and brand new: Eidetic my screenshot app for Mac, it can take video and gif recordings now and offer a quick edit option before saving.
All my apps have TelemtryDeck and RevenueCat support since yesterday.
Two of my mac apps cores are in Objective C it is stable and fast for 10+ years now!
The card you drag stays on top now! It is really important for Passable, a required feature. 😎
I'm excited, my employer Dataport AöR is hosting the location for CocoaHeads Bremen in April! I will also give a talk. More on this soon. ✌️
Like every developer I love just iterating on a product, but it is obvious one needs to also spend time on marketing. Therefore next up is the creation of another landing page. This time for Coca 2.0. 🍃
People said my empty view was too empty, is it still true? #indiedev #macdev
Accessibility Labels motivate me to collect more of them. That is my next goal! For Passable:
- Reduce Motion
- Dynamic Type
- Voice Over
- Dark Mode
Those are the Initial accessibility features I tend to support. I learned you can retrofit dynamic type to a macOS app too. 🤔
Absolutely!
It is annoying but I'm sure they just want some basic info from you! I'm in Germany
Unfortunately still unavailable in my market :(
How did you approach pricing it in?
Floor time!
Todays lunch cat! #catsofbluesky
Ready for before and after shots? things are moving for Passable, if you want to check it out at Passable.app and test it on your device drop by. 🎟️ Paperless contact cards, with wallet support.
You can do it :) It's still relevant, I saw only after liking everything, that it is posted some years ago
If I bring skeumorphism back with the paper material, why not cover flow too? #indiedev #macdev #iosdev
I loved the "Better than accessible" episode of Swift by Sundell, featuring Sommer Panage. She said: "I always joke that Auto Layout is actually an accessibility feature." It inspired me to revisit the history of adaptive iOS apps (with a focus on #accessibility )—a thread:
Really great thread and beautiful drawings
Will this motivate people to create a first pass? #indiedev #mac #ios
