I am working as a clerk for a voting location in my city today. We are electing a mayor, city councilors, and school committee members.

Amplosion ⚡️ is a simple app with a twist. On iOS 15 as a Safari extension it automagically redirects AMP links to their normal version, with powerful customizability and stats.
This is brilliant.
I just released Unread 2.8 with support for extra large widgets, Quick Notes, and more.

I just released Unread 2.7, an update that improves the experience of reading linked list articles such as those from Daring Fireball, MacStories, and Hacker News.

I just release Unread 2.6 with:
- Full-text search capabilities
- A compact article list option for iPhone
- More flexible caching settings
- A variety of additional improvements

As of today: fully vaccinated. 💉🎉
I spent the day fixing porch steps. In related news my muscles have announced that I am old.
