You made it to Friday! What are some wins you had for the week?

I was able to do some testing and fixes to @deletem.app and finish up some admin stuff for my actual job before I’m on vacation next week.

Feels like a Chipotle day for lunch. What are we thinking?

Just needed to find a post that I know I liked in the past and used @deletem.app keyword search and found it immediately! It was from early October and I never would’ve found it otherwise.

Ya’ll remember HQ Trivia?

I never won, but I’m kinda sad that it never took off/something took its place.

🙌 the national nightmare of all dark icons on home screens with the exception of BlueSky is over
In v1.110, Bluesky now has a dark-mode app icon — for anyone who thinks light mode should require a content warning.

It’s not just you, GitHub is broken. Go touch some grass while you can!

Imagine being robbed and the thief giving you back your phone because it’s an Android phone. 😅

If anything, it’s a selling point?

I don’t know what the hell is in my pockets or my desk, but something is scratching the shit out of my iPhone screen, and it’s driving me bananas.

Taking some time off next week but the urge to push some major changes to @deletem.app is strong.

Moratorium until after the time off. 😓

Ok I just watched @linusmediagroup.com video on this and I was wrong in my thinking of what I’d use this for. This will be a great living room console.
I’m glad this exists but I’ll stick to a full on PC.

Also mouse and keyboard > controller don’t @ me

All this bluesky moderation could be mitigated if you just add ‘in Minecraft’ at the end of your potentially threatening post.

I was recently talking to an old coworker who’s now a CISO about some projects and tools I enjoy using in my job. After we discussed it, she said that it seems I’m not worried about AI agents taking my job.

I’m not particularly worried but never really fleshed it out.

This + keyword searches are pretty powerful in surfacing stuff you may want to delete.
Here’s a demo of filters in action.

I filter by posts in the last 6 months, that have images AND links with any label applied. Since it’s in dry run mode there’s no fear of accidentally deleting posts.

Azure logic apps are the worst, just let me code the thing!

If you don’t know what logic apps are, you’re lucky.

The irony of making a post deletion app and realizing you may not want to delete everything so you need to implement a way that you cannot delete posts that you don’t want deleted.

Really enjoying this season of The Morning Show.

Also helps the intro has a banger song that I can’t skip.

Rolled out a little onboarding tour that helps you get your footing when you first land in Deletem.
Recently onboarded a small tour that highlights the main flow for setting up some posts to delete. Check it out in the demo mode video:

If you skip the demo mode, you'll also have the opportunity to take the tour upon first sign-in.
