It wouldn’t be @sketch.com if we just settled on giving you start/end stops for progressive blur.

How about as many stops as you want, + 3 blur types (linear, radial, diagonal)? All of that dropping *real* soon.

👀 @raphaellopesph.bsky.social for cool examples of how powerful this will be.

Mac mini icon is now available here: mmarfil.com/files/

Time Machine backup of all my Macs and a bunch of docker images with OrbStack 😅, from Plex, Dashboard, Reddit to RSS, Nginx, etc.

Also plan to get started with HomeBrige as well.

Mastered hackery to create easy access to a new mini I'm using as a home server:

– Dock folder with custom icon & fan display
– AppleScript tied to a shortcut for folder contents display
– Automator/Shortcuts/Webloc ‘apps’ to trigger actions

Decided to use the novel opportunity of having a nice social network and share a selection of icons I've been working on recently. Keep your eyes peeled if you're into that sort of thing.

Wait wait wait… since when has this been possible? I found by accident.

Oh no, I need to design a tinted iOS 18 app icon — how to do it right Tinted app icons in iOS 18 were met concerns over visual hierarchy and brand identity. Here are a few tricks we used to make ours work and feel at home.

I've recently written a little blog post to talk about tinted app icons (bear with me, heh) and how we approached our own at @sketch.com. You might find a couple of tips we discovered handy for your own icons too.
