On a whim I downloaded Simplenote. So many fun nuggets of ~2014. Anyone remember Blixt, an App.net client? I have review notes from v0.7

Those guys helped me write my first server code. APNS, AWS, python, so many fun things I’d never played with before.

@shawn Blixt was the bomb! I really liked the design, specifically how your profile image was the app background. I think one of the developers got a job at Starbucks.

@thedoctor yup, I believe that was Jesse. I'm not a Starbucks fan but I remember keeping the app on my phone cause it had a bunch of nice animation and UI bits.

@shawn I don't remember Blixt. I was recently lamenting the demise of Worm Words, though. Which wasn't an app.net client but was written by someone on app.net. I think.

@mandy Lucky you! It apparently didn't transfer over when I got my new phone and is no longer listed in the App store so can't be downloaded to my phone. @shawn

@joanna Same here. I miss that one...

@joanna Wormwords was written by John Grosvenor aka (@)grosvenor. By some glitch in the updating process, it still works on one of my iPads even though it’s running macOS 15.2! I play that game daily, because I can!
