Spent some time last night figuring out how the undocumented Libby API works. Fun. Hope they eventually make an official supported API, but in the meantime we can do some things on an experimental basis. Seeing my library holds within Micro.blog was the last missing piece I wanted. (Stay tuned.)
If you're frustrated and typing in Terminal, the harder you pound on the keyboard, the more effective whatever you're working on is. It's science.
Good morning, Libby fans. Experimental feature now available in Micro.blog: go to this special path in Micro.blog in your web browser: /account/libraries. Enjoy! 📚
I don't have much to add to the Meta vs. the fediverse debate beyond what John Gruber has written about. Big platforms using open APIs is a good thing! Much better than closed silos and locked-down APIs. I don't trust Facebook either, but preemptively blocking them is shooting ourselves in the foot.
Love these eWorld photos posted by Stephen Hackett at 512 Pixels. Brings back a lot of memories. 1990s Apple software had so much personality, and this was the height of it.
I said on @coreint last week that visionOS might be a "zig when others zag" moment for me. As nearly everyone downloads the new SDK, I'm sticking to that motto. Going to ignore as much of Vision Pro as I can and work on stuff I can ship now to users who have $5 but not $3500.
Pushed a new TestFlight build with some additional fixes. Likely will wrap this up as version 3.0.4 before we move on to 3.1 features.
Thunder rolling through again today. Dogs are not happy. ⛈️
Excited for the NBA Draft tonight. Even though the #1 pick is a lock, there's a tiny part of me that is worried the Spurs will do something insane. 🏀
News media loves the suspense of an unfolding story. Can't totally blame them for the Titanic sub coverage. Tragic now that the sub likely imploded days ago while we continued to sit around and watch the coverage. 😔 Rest in peace to those trying to do something amazing, hopefully knowing the risks.
Can't get enough of these James Cameron + Titan sub interviews. He seems to really know his stuff. Also not a bad track record as a director... Every movie starting with Terminator is good. Not just a few. All of them. 🍿
Did not finish: The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. I usually like books about books, but could not get into this one. I think I was too impatient for the plot to go somewhere. 📚
New update to Micro.blog for iOS is out with a bunch of fixes.
New episode of Core Intuition: AppKit Is Dying. We talk about visionOS, what platforms to dedicate our time too, and Meta's rumored use of ActivityPub.
