<p>I'm working on building Orris (<a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/orris-breathing-exercises/id6749783699">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/orris-breathing-exercises/id67...</a>): a breathing app for iOS. Built it because I wanted something simple for winding down before sleep and everything I tried was either bloated with content I didn't want or locked basic features behind a paywall.<p>It does guided breathing sessions with variable phase durations (4-7-8, box breathing, etc), streak tracking, and HealthKit integration. It's all based on SwiftUI, Swift 6, with no backend. Currently exploring adding ambient soundscapes for sleep sessions.<p>Solo project, been working on it for a few months on the side. Also been a fun journey back into iOS after almost 10 years away!</p>

Building a box breathing app for iOS. Started it to manage stress and as an excuse to get back into native development. SwiftUI with color-coded breathing phases, customizable timing, and session tracking. In TestFlight now with beta testers.
Used Claude Code for most of the initial build — nearly one-shotted the whole thing, which was a bit surreal.</p>

<p>Having recently lived in an apartment building of over 900 units, I can sort of empathize... However the connivence certainly outweighs the cons. There is also a setting where you can limit Airplay broadcast to your own network which pretty much solves this issue.</p>

<p>Daily.co has a developer friendly offering that accomplishes this as well. Many offerings available and many reasons to not take on this added complexity.</p>

<p>Hey HN!
I'm Cody  Product Manager and Electronics Nerd.<p>During the pandemic I thought it would be fun to build a meme maker tool as a side project. Growing tired of spammy online meme making tools and getting kinda sick of cracking open photoshop to make memes, DT Memes was born. My goals were to make it super quick to use, relatively flexible, and free (ad supported in the future to pay for servers)<p>This is an early beta - would love your feedback if you have a moment.
Have fun!</p>

<p>From Mac Rumors:<p>T-Mobile customers can opt out of the advertising program through the T-Mobile app or the T-Mobile website. In the app, access the "MORE" tab, select Advertising & Analytics, and toggle off "Use my data to make ads more relevant to me."<p>On the website(<a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/signin" rel="nofollow">https://www.t-mobile.com/signin</a>), choose "My Account," select "Profile, Privacy, and Notifications, then choose Advertising "& Analytics. From there, turn the opt-in toggle off. Sprint users can change the setting through the Sprint website. Select "Visit My Account," choose "Preferences" and then scroll down to "Manage advertising and analytics preferences." From here, turn off "Use my data to make ads more relevant to me."<p>Took me a few reloads throughout this process</p>

<p>Working in an agency type environment where grabbing domains for clients tends to happen quite frequently. We've been holding our domains with one registrar for the sake of simplicity and I'm starting see this more as a single point of failure rather then something convenient. I'm curious if there is a consensus regarding holding a large number of domains - is it better to split them up amongst many accounts? or is having the single account fine as long as security is maintained properly?  
Thanks</p>
