Introducing Inneal
While most of my AI related app releases have been dedicated to image generation, (counting two Ealain releases and then Aislingeach), my gateway into generative AI was chatbots. If you look at the chronology of this blog, that’s pretty obvious, since it all began with my post about “uncensored” chatbots, which I’ve recently updated to…

How I Build Apps (And So Can You)
I’ve built a few apps now, apps that people actually pay money for–not a lot of money; a very, very small amount of money, but enough that my Apple Developer fee has been paid for until I die, at the very least. I don’t say this to brag, but to establish that I’ve done this…

Introducing Ealain for Apple TV
Just 11 days ago, I released Ealain for Vision Pro and now I’m very happy to introduce Ealain for Apple TV, which is the same app, it’s just for Apple TV now. You can find it at the same App Store page for Ealain for Vision Pro, because it’s a universal app (or whatever they…

Introducing Ealain for Vision Pro
A few months ago I released Ealain, a screensaver for macOS that shows bauhaus-style abstract art generated with Stable Diffusion. When I got the Vision Pro, I thought about which of my apps or screensavers would make the most sense ported over. This process took a while and was rife with indecision. Eventually I realized…

Introducing Aislingeach
Back in May (2023) I stumbled my way into a a full blown interest in what people are erroneously calling “artificial intelligence”. I’d played with Midjourney back when it first gained traction, and even paid for a month of access, but my interest in it quickly faded. It wasn’t until I learned there was a…

Introducing Ealain
I mentioned the other day I was working on an app for generative art, a year or so late to the bandwagon. While playing with it, I stumbled on a great way to generative abstract art, in the vein of bauhaus, and it reminded me of a want I’ve had for years: a screensaver that…

The Varying Levels of Getting Started with “Uncensored” LLM-Powered Chatbots
Update – April 2024: I wrote an update post for this one, you can read it over here. Original Post – May 2023: LLMs like ChatGPT have been in the news quite a bit, but I’d mostly avoided using them too much because they seemed silly, probably due to my own deep seated fears about…

Postico 2.0 – macOS PostgreSQL Client
When I first started my professional development career nearly five years ago now, I was handed a copy of Postico and a business license for it. Since then I’ve used it probably every single working day and a few personal days. It’s a great macOS app, arguably the best, for accessing PostgreSQL databases. Yesterday I…

What I’m Up To – Week 20, 2022
Last week I got my Panic Playdate in the mail. I preordered it last July, and have been following it since the May 2019 EDGE announcement, so you could say it was a long time coming. It’s such a nice feeling device, and good looking, too. Sure, the non-backlit screen can be annoying, but I…

What I’m Up To – Week 11, 2022
What I got up to this week: some minor changes to the next version of MultiClock, and… well… not much else.
