Apple moved the volume control in macOS Tahoe from center to top-right. On a laptop it’s fine. On a 6K display? Not so much.

So I built Pure Volume Control:
βœ… Centered volume HUD
βœ… On all your screens
βœ… Liquid glass design

Some users asked for a Black & White filter.
Perfect excuse to bring back the iconic iOS 6 toggle.

I love turning small requests into thoughtful design moments, this one was fun to build!

Now live in the Scan app.

What a book! Thanks for writing this, @jmechner.bsky.social.

It’s the first time I’ve read a book about product/game creation that also talks a bit on Go.

My two passions combined in one book!

Feels like you’re saying:
β€œYou’re on the right path; you can do both!” 😊

Go (game) - Wikipedia

Go is one of the oldest known board games in human history, originating in China over 4,000 years ago and still played worldwide today.

I want the same thing, except to play game of Go instead of video games. 😊

I learned coding with Objective-C 😍 - I remember that time when I see this kind of piece of code.

Maybe we can use your idea about the shield window and the ignoresMouseEvents property. WDYT? πŸ€”
