You should be able to use the app right from the get-go! The β€œpremium” version doesn’t actually charge you since it’s a beta.

Or are you talking about setting up TestFlight?

All this was inspired by my friend @toffer.shitposting.blog and their experience, and when they're ready to show off their suite of apps (!), you can be sure I'll be posting about it.

Oh, also, just because you deserve to know:

I vibecoded this with Claude Code. AI was absolutely used in the making of this app.

I have thoughts about that experience, but that's for another day.

I'm limiting it to 50 people right now, although I doubt we'll hit that!

Put in a photo or multiple, it generates a caption using AI (Claude, or you can use an Anthropic or OpenAI API key), and you can copy it to your clipboard to paste in your social post. Boom.

If you have Testflight and want to be in my beta, here's a link:

I'm working on an app! Ever since I took ChatGPT off my phone, I haven't been able to quickly make alt descriptions for my photos.

If you have an iPhone, check out Gestalt β€”Β it does just that. 🧡

A man wearing glasses and a green hoodie sits on a couch, holding knitting needles and working with light-colored yarn. He has a surprised or concentrated expression on his face while knitting in what appears to be a bright, teal-walled living room.

So @pui.bsky.social is teaching a knitting class tomorrow and she wants to practice teaching someone how to knit so I am her (not so) apt pupil.

My hands get caught up in each other and I haven’t figured out tension but I made a few rows of 10 stitches!

I never noticed that they have different model numbers! So they probably are a completely different graphite formulation but just adapted the name!

I know I'm late to this party, but WOW. That spit-and-polish that Apple is famous for is not at all present in their developer tools. I just submitted an app for review to put it in TestFlight and the AppStoreConnect site and it is just full of broken flows and really confusing language.

Walking from work to my doctors office takes me past one of the most terrifying sculptures in this city.

Screenshot of a post on X.com from the verified account @somewheresy, showing a profile photo of a man sitting on a plane. The text of the post reads: β€œBtw if anyone with Ray-Ban glasses is recording you, just pull up a picture of the ISIS flag on your phone and hold it up to their glasses. It’ll permanently ban their account almost immediately.”

Is this worth somebody potentially questioning why you have a picture of the ISIS flag in your camera roll?

Yes, I think so.

Osaka Tsutenkaku Tower rises above surrounding low- and mid-rise buildings, shown once glowing with warm lights against a dark night sky and once in daylight under a clear blue sky. The lattice steel structure features an enclosed circular observation deck and vertical Japanese signage, with hotel signs and distant mountains visible in the daytime view.

A bowl of spaghetti carbonara served in a white dish, with thick strands of pasta coated in a creamy yellow sauce and topped with a bright orange raw egg yolk in the center. Cubes of browned bacon are mixed throughout, and freshly cracked black pepper is sprinkled over the glossy surface.

A large spiral churro coated heavily in cinnamon sugar sits inside an open white cardboard box on a wooden table. The ridged, golden-brown dough is arranged in a tight swirl, with loose cinnamon sugar scattered in the bottom of the box; a smartphone displaying the time 8:04 and a pink case lies behind it.
