Feeling really glad that I spent so much time this summer giving Please Don't Rain a proper iPad layout. It has proved immensely useful in adjusting for iPhone Duo. Right now I'm shifting some controls that would have been in the crease in the partially folded state.

Happy iOS 27 day! Please Don’t Rain is a fun, convenient way to track if weather will affect a day that’s important to you. The iPad UI has been completely revamped. The UI elements will intelligently arrange themselves in a new layout instead of just being a vertical stack.

There's also support for the new Extra-Large Portrait Widget! More info than ever can now be shown for an overview of your special day.

The nightmare is over. Three years after I opened this feedback and after over ten years of waiting I will *FINALLY* have a digital watch face for my Apple Watch that I like.

First thing I wanted for Swiftsonic was a set list, not an agenda. That’s why we have Openers and Headliners. The day builds: fresh voices, deep experience, practical Swift and iOS stories. Nashville · Nov 20–22 🎟️ swiftsonicconf.com

The new App from Chris helps me time my stretching sessions every day for the last couple of weeks! Go pre-order it 🥳
I made a new app (first in 3 years) and it would REALLY help me if you pre-ordered it. What's My Set is a simple, accessibility set counter for workouts with accessibility as a priority. The handy rest/interval timers bump the set counter for you. apps.apple.com/us/app/whats-…

I wrote a blog post describing my motivation, the features I added, and the accessibility support the app has. The blog post also has a link to the press kit. chriswu.com/posts/appstore/w…

Wrapped up with amazing indie dev fair. Honestly, I felt so happy to present my app and onboarded few people. It was indeed a fun, interactive experience. I personally loved most of the projects and ideas behind it. Thanks @communitykit_ for engaging great minds together ❤️

I've been working on this release of Please Don't Rain for weeks. My first time doing all of these: iPad support, paywalls by @RevenueCat , App Store In-App event, and a free trial. I love the artwork my sister drew for the event! #Procreate

Today we joined forces with @SarahPerezTC at @TechCrunch to announce @playpokpok's $6M Series A, led by @adjacent! And, if you want to know what it's like trying to get a smidge of that 2.2% of global VC dollars allotted to women founders, keep reading... @ncsh from Adjacent is awesome. He has incredible expertise and we're so glad to have him lead this round. Plus, he's unlike any other VC I've met (that's a compliment). Perhaps just as important, with him comes the expertise from his kids, too! His daughter has been playing with Pok Pok for over two years, and has an opinion just as important as her dad's. 😉 Same goes for @TurnerNovak's kids at @BananaCap_ and @shiftb's family. And all of the kids at @metalab — shout out to @davidtapp and @Desdeke! We're also thrilled to have the folks at @konvoyventures participating again too, and just love that with every passing year, more kids (and future playtesters) are being born into the Konvoy klan. The TLDR: we are so grateful to have a bunch of amazing investors be part of Pok Pok. But, we had a really tough time finding female investors for this round, something that was not the case in the past. It turns out that way fewer women VCs invest beyond Seed stage. After all that pitching, we found ourselves at a tipping point. We were so thrilled to have some really awesome investors in our corner, but it just didn't sit right to close without a single woman on the cap table (especially given our product and customer)! So we paused. @EstherH_ and I debriefed, allocated a chunk of capital and vowed to prioritize women investors in a second close. We were grateful to have had the unwavering support of our board and Nico in this decision. It took more time, but we found some incredible women like @shellkennedylon and tons more who aren't on X. One even started a new VC just to make this investment... These women are strategic, valuable and simply awesome. I’m sharing this story to hopefully inspire even just one woman to start investing and one founder to push a little bit harder for a diverse cap table. 💛 And maybe in 2024 we can make that 2.2% a 3% and finally quantify how many female investors there really are out there so we can prioritize adding more! Now, back to building! 💪 techcrunch.com/2024/06/18/no…
