Status update

Facebook is permanently associated with the concept of a "status update" for me. Hi, I grew up in the 90s and that means I'm old.

I've been trying to do cool stuff with stuff and stuff that makes other stuff go better but I've continuously not quite made the cut (failed).

Some examples of my activities include:

Decoupling profile data from the backend which supplies data to features like iPhone widgets and instead placing that load on user devices (programming in Swift is trying).
Make widgets cooler and take advantage of the latest version of iOS (this actually went well but isn't finished yet).
Some other things which my brain has burnt out of memory likely due to the trauma associated with it.

What I've been working on today:

I guess you could call it an overhaul of the Character view.
I'm not announcing any new features yet as there's a high risk I'll get too bored and depressed to finish anything (loadouts are coming soon).
There's an incredible amount of code to decouple (word of the day). It's like old pasta which has dried and needs untangling. It's still delicious but you can't just rip it asunder because it'll go everywhere, and it'll be ruined.

I wish I had a pretty screenshot of something new to post with this text.
