A magical fireworks display

There are many amazing things in this world. Social media is not one of them - so I’m closing my account. See you in real life!

That’s strange. Fyne isn’t aiming to be mobile focused - it’s platform agnostic. The mobile features are behind platform driver abstractions just like the desktop additions of system tray etc.

YouTube video by Andy Williams I answer "How do I fit everything in"? #work #travel #community #projects

How do I fit it all in? A good question, answered: youtube.com/shorts/omKBk...

Me and my laptop admiring the Canadian scenery from a sleeper cabin.

A lot is said about work life balance. But I don’t know where I stand… should we shut off when out of office, or do startup founders work any time we can?

Well today I’m thinking: focus on living and fit work around it. Today is scenery, coding! And maybe community engagement if the wifi works 😎.

I'm looking forward to seeing what people build, and hearing how it is benefitting their companies. It's amazing how fast you can put an app together when a smart app & backend does all the hard work for you ;).

Home Remove duplicate work by building and deploying apps across platforms from a single codebase. Build it once and see your app instantly available on iOS, MacOS, Windows, Android, Linux and more!

An exciting next stage on the Fyne Labs journey!

Queues at Nintendo San Francisco 2 weeks after opening!

Wow @nintendoamerica.bsky.social have got something amazing - two weeks after opening the new #Nintendo store #SanFrancisco has a queue over a block long 😎

Thrilled to be at the live #cup-o-go recording talking about all things #golang.

If anyone out there is keen to see how apps can be more secure and robust by default whilst still getting productivity of low-code and AI assistants then you should check out apptrix.ai.

We made it to Silicon Valley! It's going to be a packed 3 weeks.

Aiming to meet lots of dev tools folk, startup founders and investors of course. Best of luck to everyone in the cohort here with me :)

@fynelabs.bsky.social #siliconvalley #investors #golang #lowcode

I was at the National Portrait Gallery and took the opportunity to learn about programming from an expert 🤩

Omg it is getting so painful. At #PlusEquals5 last week plenty of industry leaders were gathered and agreed that AI will have massive impact - but it’s a tool not a replacement.

Really excited to be at #PlusEquals5 at @edinburghnapier.bsky.social today. Fantastic discussions with industry leaders talking about the future of software engineering.
I hope folk enjoyed my last-minute welcome - nothing like a little adrenaline to boost a presentation ;).

We have just released v0.1.9 of our Universal App Studio. Updated with lots of fixes and new features including a code preview of the graphical editor - check it out now if you'd like to become a tester.
