I'm not a developer. This started with an idea: what if I could just see both timelines in one place?
Thanks to Claude Code, that idea is now a reality.
If you try it, I genuinely want to hear what you think. This is beta. Your feedback shapes what it becomes.

SocialFusion is now in public beta! 🥳
Your Bluesky feed + your Mastodon timeline in one native iOS app. One inbox. One compose screen.
No more app switching. If you're on both networks, this is for you.

SocialFusion app promo graphic on a dark blue, circular-gradient background. At left, the SocialFusion logo and name appear above the headline “One Timeline. Every Feed.” and smaller text reading “Mastodon + Bluesky support · Cross-posting · Open Source · Built with SwiftUI.” At right, an iPhone mockup shows the SocialFusion unified timeline with posts and a bottom navigation bar.
I’ve been living in both Mastodon and Bluesky for a while, and the context switching finally broke me.
So I built SocialFusion: a native iOS app that unifies both timelines in one feed.
Public beta launches Thursday.

oh thank god i was so worried this wouldn't be tremendous value for shareholders
Just a reminder that buying Warner has historically killed the buyer
BREAKING
Netflix says it is backing out of a bid to acquire Warner Brothers, which means David Ellison’s Paramount is likely to move forward as primary bidder and potentially take control of the company that owns Warner Bros., CNN, HBO, and a vast portfolio of film, tv, and streaming assets.
Ditto here
we finally reached the end of this calendar event i accidentally made 12 years ago
Remember Charlie Sheen’s 2011 meltdown?
If that happened today he’d get elected president.
Petition to cancel Presidents’ Day and go back to just celebrating Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays.
How can we know unless we try it?
Your uncle Chuck stands outside the house and calmly says “he should really stop choking his kid,” then does nothing and leaves.
America loves an underdog!
Imagine going to this screening on a night like this one. The blood of an American civilian runs on a Minneapolis street. These people have no shame.

The arguments I have received from the pro-ICE world are “it all happened so fast” but looking down your barrel through an open window at the side of a person’s head and pulling the trigger is murder.
Yeah, I know the whole thing is a bit silly, but it made me smile.
It’s just mind blowing to me that I can go from and idea to a working app in an hour, without being a programmer!
Dark splash screen for the iOS app “Undercast,” labeled “A Plex Music Client.” A blue house-shaped music icon appears above the app name. Below is text prompting the user to sign in and a large blue button labeled “Link Plex Account.” iOS status bar is visible at the top.
Undercast music library screen in dark mode showing the Albums tab. A grid of George Harrison album covers is visible, including “All Things Must Pass,” “Brainwashed,” “Cloud Nine,” and “The Concert for Bangladesh.” Bottom navigation shows Library, Playlists, Search, and Settings.
Now Playing screen in Undercast showing “Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison from The Concert for Bangladesh. The album cover features a child seated on the ground framed by an arch. Playback controls, progress bar, and volume slider appear on a dark background.
So now, I can pair my podcasts with any music from my Plex library.
And all it took was an hour and a couple of vibe coding tools.
Since my podcast app of choice is Overcast, I decided to call my dinky little app Undercast 😜.
I tweaked it for another 20 mins or so, giving Claude Code a few prompts to refine some details.
I designed an app icon in Gemini with Nano Banana and installed it on my phone.
Boom. Podcast background music.
I did some research with Perplexity and had it help me write up a spec for a basic SwiftUI audio player that uses the Plex API.
I had Cursor flesh it out into a detailed plan.
Then Claude Code took that plan and got to work building the app.
20 minutes later, I had a working prototype.
Sometimes I like a little background music to go with my podcasts.
So that got me thinking.
What if I wrote a music client that plays tracks from my Plex library using AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient so I can listen alongside my podcasts in Overcast?
So, uh. I wrote a whole iOS app in an hour last night. 😅
Imagine being so pathetic that you brag about accepting someone else's Nobel Peace Prize as a bribe.
Well, my son. Life is like a beanstalk. Isn’t it?
