Note, they say it is based on their existing helmet[1].

I wish they showed videos with a human model or the retractable mechanism.

At first glance the visor seems large enough to cover the face, but based on the HUD simulation I guess it only covers the eyes.

To be fair the ~150MB is for the CEF scenario (when chromium gets bundled); and eventually they want to introduce a shared CEF runtime across apps.

In the long run it could spread from commercial to consumer scenarios; perhaps extra fast if there was adoption in the services sector.

If you want image nonograms (as opposed to randomized nonograms), you can try Nonoverse[1]; I made it for the same reasons.

Nonoverse[1], a nonogram puzzle game.

I’m prioritizing user experience and QoL features, I’d like to build something calming and user friendly.

I recently added support for user generated puzzles - here’s a nonogram that I drew just now[2].

> Every reasonable variation of the company name as a .com/.net/.org was taken, including <companyname>company.com

Even then it seems better to come up with a different prefix, or suffix (or both!), just to stay with ‘.com’.

Of course hindsight is 20/20 and I did the same, my personal homepage used to have a ‘.xyz’ address.

Perhaps Ian's Shoelace Site[1], a very informative and user friendly website that has been continuously updated for two decades at least. I'm now curious what are the other curated websites.

I hope they are working hard on the xpro4!

Retro styled cameras are only gaining in popularity; the competition is increasing, but Fujifilm has a big head start.

And still many concepts to try out. We have yet to see true manual focus confirmation in stills mode (something a retro nikon zf has been praised for), or an autofocus capable lens with a distance scale (leica q style).

An image logic puzzle game about nonograms[1] called Nonoverse[2].

I’m automating App Store media creation; both screenshots and app preview videos can now be recorded automatically; this way they should stay up to date and show correct content for a given locale.

I’m also adding translations; if anyone would like to help (with translating or testing new locales) let me know!

Early results are already live in the App Store page.

Surprisingly, there were DRM games praised for good UX, only these were hardware releases.

When Switch 1 launched, it got re-releases (eg: Diablo 3) that were: 1. complete editions with DLCs, 2. came on a cartridge that one could swap between devices or sell, 3. supported offline play.

Online game stores were supposed to offer better UX than hardware releases. I find it interesting, and perhaps a sign of how bad the online experience can get, that the opposite can happen too.

I guess the modern day equivalent (technology that’s relatively new, unsafe and unregulated) would be electric scooter polo? I found no sign of a sport like this though.

I think kick scooter polo exists. And bike polo[1] is well known.

I couldn’t find information about discontinuation in the article - did I miss it or is there another source?

Edit, I found this: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/29/apple-vision-pro-m5-flo... - seems like rumors; but perhaps as close to an announcement as we’ll ever get.

I guess we don’t know what the agent would do after seeing these warnings and a request for extra action.

Perhaps it would stop and rethink, perhaps it would focus on the fact that extra action is needed - and perform that automatically.

I suppose the decision would depend on multiple factors too (model, prompt, constraints).

Fastlane is a local, open source CLI tool.

> 100% open source under the MIT license

See: https://docs.fastlane.tools/

It doesn’t support App Preview automation, this is something that I had to script myself.

This is very useful in mobile projects.

App stores require screenshots, but generating N images for NUMBER_OF_SCREEN_SIZES times NUMBER_OF_LOCALIZATIONS can be a chore.

In the past I wrote my own scripts for that, today tools like Fastlane[1] help.

I use Fastlane for my logic puzzle game Nonoverse[2], you can see sample screenshots in its App Store page.

I also automated App Preview video recording, complete with multiple scenes. If anyone wants to read more let me know, perhaps this is a good topic for an article.

Looks like there is also a client side solution for that, at least in Firefox; it's possible to prevent a page from modifying browser history:

> Open the about:config page in Firefox

> Search for "pushstate"

> Double-click "browser.history.allowPushState"

UI for image logic puzzles (nonograms), I’m working on making them prettier and more user friendly.

Some prototypes are already live in my app. Screenshots in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/nonoverse-nonogram-puzzles/id6748... (the patterns in the puzzles in the dark mode screenshots, i.e. 4th and 7th).
