@stewartlynch.bsky.socialI felt the same when I turned 60. Then 65 came along and I got all of the senior discounts. Then I turned 70. It is now that I am 75, that I constantly think about the limited time I have left. I wish I were 35 again. You have so many (better) years ahead of you.

@stewartlynch.bsky.socialI submitted both the macOS and iOS targets for approval yesterday and both were approved today so I am ready for the iPhone Duo release.
@stewartlynch.bsky.socialHappy to say that My Links will be updated and available for iPhone Duo. New interface and features for all platforms too.

@stewartlynch.bsky.socialI use @tapbots.com Tapestry for Bluesky and Mastodon. On the iPhone I see crossposts notification, but not on iPad. Have I missed a setting on the iPad to enable this?

@stewartlynch.bsky.socialI am still waiting too.
@stewartlynch.bsky.socialI decided, because I cannot trust Apple and UPS to ever deliver new hardware to me on time, \ to have it shipped to the store. I spent $5000 on a new Mac Mini with delivery by today, Sept. 22. It is 4:00 pm and even if I do get notified it is too late for me to get to the store. I don't get it.
@stewartlynch.bsky.socialI sorted it out. I compiled the app using Xcode 26 and then installed in in DeviceHub for the duo and I got what I was looking for.
@stewartlynch.bsky.socialI am confused. I thought that apps compiled with Xcode 27 (and with a 26 target) for iPhone only would show black bars on eithr side on iPhone Duo. Am I mistaken. See this video for more context.
@stewartlynch.bsky.socialGreat day for a cycle to Granville Island.

@stewartlynch.bsky.socialFirst tests of my "My Links" app (prototype of new UI) for iPhone Duo is looking good.
