Angelo 🎟️ Passable

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

Handwritten title of the thread: Auto Layout is actually an accessibility feature. With the subtitle: Pixel-perfect is dead, long live to adaptive iOS apps! There are some lines simulating auto layout constraints between the title, subtitle and its surroundings.

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

Coca 2.0 with idle status prevention, coming soon. 🟢🍃

A window showing the settings in Passable to add a contact for prefilling. A box shows "Angelo Cammalleri" as a selected contact. The buttons below are choose new contact and clear prefill contact.

You can add a prefill contact now, so each new pass you create will be already with your basic information. #buldinginpublic

macOS screenshot of the Passable app with a centered Settings window open, showing Contact & Support options like Contact Us, Follow Us, and Rate the App, over a forest-themed desktop wallpaper with the main Passable interface dimmed in the background.

The settings area is coming along well for passable.app 🎫 #indiedev

Tonight I pushed out both, an update for Passable and one for Coca 🍃 Let's go! #macdev #iosdev

Very beautiful! Only thing that would make it better, if you record it using Quicktime or other tools that mask and clean up the Status bar. Or you clean it up somehow after the fact. Either way, good job!

Ein schwarzer Rucksack mit „Dataport“-Logo steht auf einem Tisch. Am Reißverschluss hängen zwei Pins: ein blauer Teleprompter Pro-Pin und ein farbiger Vogel-Pin aus The Art of Fauna. Neben dem Rucksack steht eine Glasflasche, beklebt mit Stickern, darunter ein ARCtic Conference Sticker, ein Helm Sticker und ein pinker Cartoon-Charakter aus der App Nunch. Auf dem Tisch liegt teilweise sichtbar ein Flyer mit der Aufschrift „Events & Tagungen“

Found a good use for the @arcticconference.bsky.social conference swag, it can inspire me on work trips ✌️

How do you use it?

I'm sad, RoboCop was amazing, their work lately is worth the playtime. I wish they had more success/funding!

I'm going to drive to Kiel to be in the office tomorrow, it has been in forever for two reasons: One time my car needed repairs and the other I needed to go see an iOS Conference in Finnland ❄️ Let's see the traffic at this time!

I beat Final Fantasy My Life as a King on that, also bought my first ever DLC in there (more buildings)

Supposedly I'm testing the app enough lately. My TestFlight sessions.

A hand holding an iPhone displaying RetroRapid, a retro-style racing game. The Score label and car count are displayed in a very large font. Several big pixel-art racing cars are visible on a beige grid, with two large red buttons at the bottom of the screen. A code editor is visible in the background.

RetroRapid will support Dynamic Type in the next release. On a retro arcade game? Why not?! I'm having so much fun finding ways to make this as accessible as possible.

Live testing the upcoming location feature for passable.app! Have your pass ready where you need it. 👨🏻‍💻☕️

You see a settings window on macOS named Typography, it shows three cards in a box with the heading Accessibility Font. The first card represents the system font. The second one the OpenDyslexic font. The third Lexend. All cards display the same text but in different fonts: "Passable; Wallet cards; Share them easily"

The accessibility font selection in Passable, easy and to the point. Everyone should be able to build paperfree contact cards! #buildinginpublic #accessibility #a11y

Love this game! Let us know how it goes!

macOS screenshot of the Coca 2.0 app on the Start tab, showing activation button options (Left-click selected, Right-click), checkboxes for “Show settings window everytime” and “Launch at login,” and a modern glass-style interface over a lake-and-mountains wallpaper.

macOS screenshot of the Coca 2.0 Deep tab with “Deep Awake” enabled, displaying a large green “On” status indicator and text explaining subtle mouse movement to simulate activity while idle, with a monitoring status indicator below.

Coca 2.0 is coming along well and it's new feature Deep Awake, is already working. Only when you are idle, it moves your mouse ever so slightly. You probably can't even see it doing that. Other apps see it though, their reaction is: 🟢! If you know what that means. 😏 #mac #macdev #indiedev

Fixed a problem with the TestFlight beta for Passable - so if you tried adding Passable to your TestFlight and had problems earlier, please try again at passable.app! #mac #ios

A card with paper material in a circle that has a checkmark on top! This is used in Passable to signal you successfully purchased a subscription.

Sometime all you need to show an operation worked is a cute card and a checkmark! You should see this in motion soon #indiedev

Apple TV 5,3 obtaining a restore in macOS finder!

My oldest Apple TV, the first one to have an App Store and the last one to have an USB-C port, needs a software restore. Maybe it is getting old!

ButterKit for macOS showing App Store screenshot layout mockups on a blue grid background, featuring iPhone and Mac device frames with Passable previews, marketing headlines like “Paperless Contact Cards for Apple Wallet” and “A Powerful Editor with Live Preview,” testimonial text, and multiple placeholder panels labeled “Drag a screenshot image here.”

I'm trying out ButterKit right now, really liking it so far. Soon I will use it for Coca v2 and Passable. #macdev

Waiting for Beta review for Coca

Turns out, if you happen to use the old Pages, Numbers and Keynote on macOS and somehow don't plan on updating to the Studio versions: This snippet is for you, it will disable the nagging dialogs!

macOS desktop screenshot showing two versions of the Coca app side by side: an older About window on the left with tabs like Preferences, Extras, and About, and a redesigned Coca 2.0 window on the right with a modern layout, app cards for Passable and Coca, version information, and links such as Visit Website, Rate it, Support, and Credits, displayed over a lake-and-mountains wallpaper.

A Coca redesign is in the works. I finally revamped the old interface after 10+ years, using modern technology with the old app core. It works flawlessly looking more fresh now! Coca is the biggest platform I have, so it is a hopefully sound marketing move. #macdev #indiedev

Landing page section for Passable Contact Cards with headline text, a short description about creating paperless Apple Wallet contact cards, a “Try on TestFlight!” button, and a preview of a customizable digital wallet card for Angelo Cammalleri with photo, contact details, and QR code on a dark gradient background.

Close-up macOS screenshot of the Passable app’s “John’s Pass” material selection screen showing orange style options (None, Paper, Plastic, Velvet, Hex selected, Holo) alongside a live preview of an orange Apple Wallet-style contact card with patterned background and QR code.

iOS screenshot of the “John’s Pass” customization screen showing options to select a logo picture and adjust colors (Background, Foreground, Label) with color pickers, plus a live preview of a silver Apple Wallet-style contact card below.

Our landing page for Passable is online at passable.app. Something we can iterate on and certainly a crucial first step in building a distribution for the app. #buildinginpublic

I'm so happy to have used "almost" earlier
