Just posted this week’s episode of Core Intuition with our initial thoughts on WWDC 2018: UIKit on the Mac, Siri’s automation-based strategy, App Store trials, and more.

The past can be a bit of a blur, but I think this was my 20th time out to San Jose and San Francisco for WWDC. 1996, 1997, 2001–2018. Feel lucky to have seen the platforms change and the community grow. Still exciting.

Updated my WWDC expenses page after going through some more receipts. Surprisingly close to what I had estimated.

Quick layover in Los Angeles on the way home. Had a great time in San Jose. Thanks again to everyone who made it to the Micro.blog meetup yesterday or said hi during the week. Enjoy the rest of WWDC!

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us at the Micro.blog meetup! We had a great turnout. Really enjoyed talking with everyone.

Reminder: Micro.blog WWDC meetup is today at lunch, 12:30pm outside Grace Deli & Cafe.

The 2nd annual WWDC Micro.blog meetup will be Tuesday at 12:30pm outside Grace Deli & Cafe. If you’re attending WWDC this week, grab a to-go box lunch and meet us there, or you can get a sandwich or wrap first from the cafe. It’s less than a block from the convention center: 303 Almaden Blvd. View the location in Google Maps or Apple Maps. If you were at the 1st meetup last year, it’s just on the front side of the building from where we met last year.

Good news that they’ve improved the Mac App Store enough to convince Panic and Bare Bones to bring Transmit and BBEdit back to the store. I also like the pre-announcement of UIKit on the Mac, since it was clear they’ve been using this thing anyway. But now we have to wait.

Don’t forget, if you mention WWDC in a microblog post today it unlocks a secret pin on Micro.blog. Happy keynote blogging!

I haven’t really processed the GitHub news yet. I wrote a few years ago that I thought Automattic and GitHub were companies that could last for 100 years, following the spirit of the open web and safe to use for hosting or mirroring our content. Maybe I was wrong.

Rolled out a series of performance improvements tonight for posting on Micro.blog-hosted sites. Had to work through a few unexpected glitches. If you noticed any posts that were slow to update, they should be live now.

I was re-reading Om Malik’s essay about algorithmic timelines today. There is a lot that is relevant to our approach with Micro.blog.

Got new lenses for my scratched-up glasses. Store employee thought I was nuts not to get new frames too (covered by insurance) but I’m the worst at picking out the perfect frames among hundreds. My buying strategy for anything is just gimme a new version of what I already have.

Need to get back into adding new Micro.blog pins, so added a “25 posts” pin and a new secret pin for WWDC that will unlock if you mention the conference on Monday.

Gonna miss NSDrinking after all tonight… But in related WWDC news, new Core Int will be out tomorrow with our predictions, and then in just a few days I’ll be in San Jose. Starting to get excited about the trip.

Going to Radio Coffee & Beer tonight at 8pm for NSDrinking. Stop by for a coffee or beer and last-minute WWDC predictions.

10 years ago today, @danielpunkass and I released the first episode of Core Intuition. It was right before WWDC when Apple introduced the App Store.

We made a small tweak to the Discover screen yesterday to randomly show a few of the common emoji, instead of always the same 3. Still want to improve this with more emoji.

Looking forward to Cavs/Celtics game 7 tonight. Could be a great one. 🏀

Posted a new Core Intuition about the Twitter API changes, Micro.blog, more on Ghost’s API, a technical diversion into Photos.app drag-and-drop, and some thoughts on the Developer’s Union.

At this point I think I’d rather never send an email to customers again than bother them with a GDPR update email today.

Great list of resources for using Micro.blog from the community. Blog posts, app links, and guides.

I’m starting to jot down notes of things to do in San Jose. I try not to over-plan for WWDC, but there are a couple things I don’t want to miss. You can also now sign up for more info about our Micro.blog meetup.

In addition to the post this morning with Icro developer Martin Hartl, there’s a new episode of Micro Monday where @macgenie also interviews Mike Haynes about his app Dialog. Love that it worked out to feature 2 third-party developers today.

This week for Micro Monday we also have a text interview with Martin Hartl, the developer of Icro.

The Developers Union is a good idea. I’d love to see Apple incorporate some kind of discussion at WWDC each year specifically about what the union is advocating for. Kind of like the old WWDC feedback sessions, but with a very narrow focus.

Posted a new episode of @coreint with talk about GDPR, the podcasting world, NPR and non-profits, Ghost’s 5-year review, and more.
