A couple ways to use the site: A) This shortcut run an automation when you take a screenshot with Pokémon GO open, and shows the scan in a web view www.icloud.com/shortcuts/ee... B) Take a screenshot and paste or drag (with some coordination) to Safari or the web app on scope.a2.co

Was anyone else looking for a replacement IV checker since Poke Genie doesn't support screenshots on iPhone Duo? scope.a2.co

The "Open URLs" action also works, but jumps you out of Pokémon GO (though it'll save the scan in history). The "Open Web View" action will show the web view modal but in a Safari View Controller (which has isolated data storage).

why does the guy in Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" look like Phil Dunphy from Modern Family

Walk Mate is ready for iPhone Duo on day one! After receiving valuable feedback from Apple evangelists at a great workshop in the Istanbul office, it is ready to go 🤲🏻🚀 apple.co/4mz7vev #iphoneduo #walkmate #ios27.1

1. Become a trusted certificate authority 2. Get accepted into every root program 3. Build out the whole operation 4. Think of a good private key 5. Ship it 6. Come back to step 4 before implementing! 7. Oh nooooo

if I ever use the number 4 as a private key, I give you permission to laugh

sometimes you build something and, when it works, you're like "oh no, it works, omg wtf" ?

was thinking to build some kind of "sign in with atproto" feature for the picto site but I didn't think it was necessary? curious if folks would find that useful or interesting

ended up deciding on a subdomain of my main site for now (better to build than to name at this point)

what if I did something for fun that wasn't in pursuit of productivity and had no meaningful output

a CAPTCHA system but it just asks people how many syllables a word has, to power my bot

my bot thought this was a haiku pies tak się burzy przestraszył że się nie wysrał na spacerze

Six birds in the hand, half a dozen problems in the bush, but a bird ain’t one

Right now it just redirects to my personal site but I'd like to build something with it
