I created carsick.app to bring the Vehicle Motion Cues to Mac and Windows, and it’s already available. DM me if you want a promo code to try it.

Spring has arrived in GoBattle.io! 🌸 I am really happy with how the new boss turned out, drawn in Aseprite and animated in Spine. If you love old-school platformers, you should try it! ⚔️🎮 #PixelArt #IndieGame #RetroGaming #GoBattle #GameDev #indiedev
I recently had the honor of interviewing Zen’s chief architect Mike Clark! I tried to fit in as many microarchitecture questions as I could, including x64 vs ARM ISA power efficiency, 4k vs larger page sizes, 64-byte cache lines, scatter/gather and more:

I understand Apple wants users to know better what they download, but they should fix macOS permissions instead. Right now, it's a mess. If you miss the permission dialog, it's almost impossible for a normal person to find the setting again without a map. www.macworld.com/article/2628... #MacOS #UX
Oh, super cool! I'm working on something similar for macOS and hope to have it ready soon. Here's a link showing how I created a reverse boss key effect. I'll post more effects, so if you're interested, feel free to follow! I use my game engine, so plugins can be full games!

Reverse Boss Key for your Macbook: make sure no one thinks you're not playing enough! #doom #indiedev #macos #gamedev

Made with Uxperior
I’ve added an API to Uxperior that lets you use the desktop capture as a texture, allowing shaders to transform the content. Here’s a privacy filter done in just 50 lines of code (code in the video). I’ll make all filters open-source so anyone can create their own! #MacOS #IndieDev #buildinpublic
Want to learn how to create beautiful, realistic water like this? Or maybe you're just interested in learning more about shaders? Be sure to check out my FREE tutorial on my YouTube channel! 🔗👇🏻

Dragon Ball figures
Found these Dragon Ball figures at Miniso, they look amazing!
The Drones over New Jersey are out of control! I couldn’t resist making a plugin for Uxperior. 😄 #IndieDev #MacOS #AppDevelopment #buildinpublic
Here’s a better video of the vintage TV skin example, this time over the VLC app, since the Apple TV app doesn’t allow screen recording. #MacOS #RetroTech #IndieDev #UIUX #AppDevelopment #buildinpublic
Another example of a Uxperior plugin using window positioning: a focus/relax mode for any app, like the Notes app, for example. #MacOS #Productivity #IndieDev #AppDevelopment #buildinpublic
I’ve added an API to track the position of windows on macOS, enabling Uxperior plugins to do things like create custom skins or interact with window edges. In this video, you can see a skin for the Apple TV app that transforms it into a vintage TV! 📺😊 #MacOS #IndieDev #UIUX #RetroTech #buildinpublic
Image showing revenue as $207 MRR
Carsick.app has passed $200 MRR! 🎉 The Windows version is almost ready, and I’m hoping it gives things a nice boost. 🚀

For Android, you can try play.google.com/store/apps/d... I have not tried it myself, but I hope it helps!
Thanks! This is based on the new feature of iOS 18 vehicle motion cues. If you have iOS, you can enable it from the accessibility settings. It worked so well for me that I had to do it for Mac.
And yay, 6 hour review!
The new version of carsick.app with background support is ready on the App Store! I was not sure Apple would allow it as I had to do a hack to keep the Bluetooth connection in the background.

Thanks to my app, Carsick.app, I can now use my MacBook during my trip to Los Angeles without feeling sick. If you struggle with motion sickness, give it a try! carsick.app

Still down for me 😞
In just a few minutes, you can create animations like the ones from Magic Island for the MacBook Pro's notch. #macbook #appdevelopment #indiedev #uxperior
I’m developing a new Mac App that lets you customize your Mac’s UI with customizable effects powered by my 2D engine. It supports shaders, animations, and full programmability with LUA. I’ll also release the source code for all effects. Let me know if you’re interested! #macos #indiedev #ux
Does anyone else get static on their MacBook when adjusting the volume, or is it just me? #MacBook #RetroVibes #MacOS #Nostalgia #80s #Uxperior 😎
Graphic showing the average duration of each session of King Mode in GoBattle.io. The graphic shows an increase of 25% in average play duration.
Balancing a game is so challenging! We made a change to GoBattle’s King mode that increased the average playtime by 25% and better balances the skill of new players. But now some high-level players are complaining because it relies more on skill. #gamedev #indiedev #GameBalancing

When you're choosing a price for the GAME or APP you spent YEARS creating, please remember this image. Your work will definitely bring more joy to users than this!
