Moxtopper
OCTOBER 2020 | I'm a huge Magic nerd, especially for the Commander format. There are a handful of life tracking apps out there for Commander players, but none of them suit my fancy. Moxtopper is, in this author’s liberal biased opinion, the absolute best app for tracking life totals and commander damage in Commander.

Unread for iPad
JUNE 2014 | This is the iPad version of Unread, an RSS reader I make for iPhone.

During its development, I blogged regularly about the process of designing and building this app. See all the posts together at this link.

OvershareKit
OCTOBER 2013 | OvershareKit is a soup-to-nuts, open-source sharing library for iOS. As I developed Unread, I dreaded having to write tons of sharing code all over again, so I teamed up with Justin Williams and solved the problem once and for all. In a word, OvershareKit does everything: sharing to Twitter, App.net, and more; third-party account management including saving credentials to the Keychain; beautiful share sheets with full-color icons; customizable message compose screens with killer features like syntax highlighting as you type. Let us know if you’re using it in a project.

JANUARY 2013 | Deceptively simple App.net client. A full-screen view of your posts makes it relaxing to catch up on the day’s news. Navigate anywhere with just one thumb. Lots of pro features and customization options make this app a favorite among App.net users. I make this app together with Jamin Guy.
