Commercial and Venables is a great spot!
Extremely humbling to see that Ambie has eclipsed the 2000 ratings count internationally, and it's still at 4.8 stars.
In the past, there were people who scoffed and told me my app's high score was only due to a small sample size. But at 2k reviews, it's becoming clear that people love Ambie 🥳
In Vancouver and the rest of BC, this will the very last time we change clocks. Your state should do the same! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Wow, Markerpad's monthly premium sales have caught up to Ambie's monthly sales. Ambie's revenue is still far outpacing it, but Markerpad is trending the right direction!
Seems like folks are liking the regular updates. I recently added Seyes lines to it! #buildinpublic #dotnet #csharp #edusky
Yesterday, I received a US patent award from Microsoft. I applied for a patent few years ago and it was granted by the US Patent office, and this plaque was sent by MS to commemorate the accomplishment. Never thought I'd be a patent inventor. Super cool 🙂 #microsoftlife
Have you tried installing it via the website? I believe it bypasses company policies. Like, click this download button directly from the website.
Only if you want to try, tho! I'm not pressuring you to install the app haha
standalone app. Give it a try if you haven't yet! apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nh0w...
You got me there 😂
here it is in white though!
Is this whiteboard app starting to look cool or what? I'm adding more and more features every few days, and people seem to be really enjoying the recent updates! #whiteboard #edusky #buildinpublic #dotnet #csharp
Windows Central wrote a little article about it!
Markerpad daily usage jumped 2x the past 24 hours! Very cool. Premium sales are also picking up steam. #buildinpublic #windowsapp #uwp #dotnet #csharp
they have similar architectures which is powered largely by this library that I open sourced. The library provides a bunch of classes and logic that are often reused across my apps. github.com/jenius-apps/...
hey now! there's some of us open source indie devs doing something cool. And ms store helps reduce dev costs. Check out my apps, and 3 of them are fully open source: apps.microsoft.com/search/publi...
And here's the github repos: github.com/jenius-apps
Even worse, there are now 11 known lawsuits against openai where victims were led to psychosis by their chat bot. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
There's a pattern here that RCMP needs to investigate
Except there are 11 lawsuits out for openai where chatgpt led someone to a mental health break or a psychosis event mashable.com/article/ai-i....
There is a pattern here that needs to be investigated by the RCMP.
News of Sarah Bond and Phil Spencer leaving Xbox was shocking. A non-gamer as the new leader is suprising. But most confusing is their previous role was in CoreAI, which is the developer division of MS that runs Visual Studio, GitHub, etc.
I don't see the overlap 🤔 Why not promote from within Xbox?
Heartbreaking gold medal game loss. Still, you played your hearts out. Great job Team Canada. #olympics #canada
Hopefully!
Ambie's revenue this past January absolutely popped. Big thanks to the growing number of Ambie fans and supporters! Can I retire from my day job yet?! #BuildInPublic #windowsapps #indiedev #dotnet
Lowkey becoming one of the best police shows I've watched aside from SVU, and it's set in Surrey of all places.
Hearing "All units to Whalley!" is surreal since my first home in Canada was in Whalley. Great cop show regardless of the location though! gem.cbc.ca/allegiance #tvshows #cbc #vancouver
Added new canvas options to Markerpad (dots and lines), and added new zoom functionality. Both have been strong feedback from the community so thanks to everyone that has given Markerpad a try and shared feedback!

Mark Carney's full speech transcript from Davos, where he called on Middle Powers to work together to forge a path through this rupture in the world order. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
One of the most meaningful and consequential world speeches since WW2. #canpoli #wef #canada #eupoli #europe
Forza Horizon 6 will be set in Japan, where you can drive a ton of cars from the world and from Japan. In particular, the upcoming GR GT supercar will be the flagship car of the game. Coming to Xbox + PS5

I love my MacBook but in the end, windows does indeed have better usability and productivity for me
Yep! I’ve been enjoying it here much more. I have better control of my feed.
Having just moved back home here, I’ve been absolutely floored at the restaurant scene. It was already good before I moved to the U.S. And it has exponentially gotten better since. Absolutely recommend everyone to visit #Vancouver for the food. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/04e7085...
Agreed. We need to change that now.
Beautiful view from Microsoft Vancouver! #MicrosoftLife #Vancouver
