Your guide to public transit in Cape Breton Regional Municipality

So I took a couple of hours yesterday and updated the website, made it a little more usable and updated the routes with new changes. next is to update the app it's self www.cbtransit.com/en

I just happened to renew my iOS developer sub this year and i looked at the analytics. this app still gets roughly 30 downloads a month! which is wild to me and makes me feel just a little bad for not maintaining it. let alone not having anything for android users.

CB Transit App - App Store Download CB Transit by Brian Best on the AppΒ Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips and more games like CB Transit.

So I spent like a weekend manually converting the transit schedules in to JSON, put a wrapper around that and pushed it out. I didn't make any other changes, and its been in status for the last 10 years. apps.apple.com/gb/app/cb-tr...

And the way you have to read the transit schedule, WHICH HAS NOT CHANGED TO THIS DAY, is going to the cbrm website, downloading a PDF and then trying to match your location to the time of day. Just an awful experience

One of my only iOS apps I have ever created is called cbtransit. It is a transit application for the Cape Breton Regional Municipality aka CBRM which includes Sydney Glace Bay and New Waterford. I made it for myself, I was a big transit user at the time...

There’s a real risk that if things like age verification doesn’t land exactly right large portions of the user base will leave and potentially just roll their own

Discord is an app that has no moat. Tech speaking chat and streaming is a mostly solved stack, social network effect isn’t as strong as an instagram or Snapchat.

Good morning!

February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

I’m very excited about taking some inspiration from openclaw and building my own telegram enabled chat to run my computer. It’s early days, but I’ve given an access to Bluesky as well as a sandbox directory soon I’ll be giving it some more access to using that a banana and some other third party’s
