A nice start for winston!

👋 Hey! It’s been a while, huh? Sorry borrowing your subscription for spam, but this is a very nice news! Since Apollo prematurely passed away, me and some friends of mine started working on a new stunning Reddit client where you can use your own key. It’s all written in Swift, so it feels right at home. winston guides you to get an API...

A not so brief talk about AI

👋 Well, hello! It’s been a while right? You may not even remember me at this point. But could you borrow me a couple minutes of yours? It’s kinda of a long text, so make sure you have time ok? I won’t sell anything I promise, and it may gonna make you rethink about some aspects of your life and your future (if you didn’t do it already ...

Big news! Winston, the Reddit client, is free to use and I got banned from Reddit!

👋 Hey! I've been developing Winston, a new iOS client for Reddit, for a while now. Until today Winston was restricted to Patreon subscribers, but apparently that made Reddit pretty angry and decided to ban my Reddit account and email me a threatening letter asking me to shutdown the app. If you wanna check the letter (and my response t...

Make it rain, buddy!

👋 Hello, old friend! Remember me? I used to send a few newsletters about the latest news. Unfortunately I got some issues and couldn’t do it anymore. But I’m here to show you something really cool. I know, it’s kind of a spam, but bro it’s so damn cool I don’t even care. It’s called……. 🌧 lo-rain Yes, with no uppercase letters. It’s aes...

An opinion about UX

👋 Hey everyone! These days I’ve been seeing a lot of function focused speeches when it comes to designing something. I’m an aesthetic lover, so you may not consider me to be the best person to talk about it, but give me a chance. UX means User Experience, but recently people have been misinterpreting “Experience” by assuming that it me...

Glass everywhere

👋 Hey everyone Yesterday me and my wife designed a site for her company. We wanted to follow the glassmorphism trend because it’s pretty fucking beautiful, I mean, look at this: That blurred sidebar look so slick! And Apple isn’t the only one using this trend, if you just search for the term in Dribbble or Google, you’ll see how freaki...

Making a font downloader with JS

👋 Hey everyone! “Important: hey mail/world is a new service, so obviously there’s some bugs. Unfortunately my last newsletter was published with a missing GIF, it’s no my fault, sorry. I already let Hey know about this bug.” Do you know Alfred? If you’re a MacOS user you probably do, but just in case, Alfred is a replacement for Spotli...

A window to somewhere cool

👋 Hey everyone! I’m a huge fan of VR headsets. VR is probably the next big thing and I’m super excited to see what’s next. Do you know about full body tracking? No? Oh boy, it’s fucking cool. The term speaks for itself but the current VR headsets are only capable of tracking your hand and fingers (thanks to the controllers), a full bod...

Basecamp’s design - a cheap analysis

👋 Hey everyone! I knew about Hey mail some months ago. I remember to really like the idea but since there was no native apps for both phone or desktop, I kept avoiding it. I have a certain resistance for Electron and web view apps but also an admiration since I’m myself a web dev. “Electron and web view apps are basically apps that emu...

Drawing and screens

👋 Hey everyone! I recently bought an iPad + Apple Pencil and found out that I actually enjoy drawing, I only hate the limitations of a paper (can’t undo, erase wears down the paper, can’t move parts). If you’re wondering whether you should buy one or not, I strongly recommend you to do so. It’s pretty cool to have a big screen phone. O...

Space and protests

👋 Hey everyone! We have some new subscribers this time. Hello to all :) But yeah, the James Webb telescope is fully deployed! All of it’s mirrors and parts are unfolded and ready to go. They will be testing for some months before we see any cool picture from zillions of years ago. Each mirror is capable of moving 0.1 microns or 1/400th...

Not a good post

👋 Hey everyone! Well nothing particularly interesting actually happened today. It’s weekend so I couldn’t be assigned to any projects yet. This is gonna be a really short post, since I don’t have much to say. Today I realized the reason for me not to be able to accomplish some stuff I apparently wanted to. The reason is: “I don’t actua...

Squircles

👋 Hey everyone! Some time ago I started buying some 🍎 shit. There was some time since I used an 🍎 device, so the iOS design guidelines were a bit new for me. After using the the 🍎 ecosystem for a while (a couple of months) I started a romance with that sleek, simple and well done interface. I started trying to use those guidelines (or ...

Hey, uh... Hello?

👋 Hey, reader I'm here to say hello and test this blog like tool from HEY Mail. Things have been well. 2022 has just begun and things are already getting better. Laís got a new job and it pays way more than the prior. She will probably keep her old job since she can do both. When it comes to me, I still wasn't assigned to any project a...
