I’m trying to enable In-App Purchases for Relax, so I can implement the Tip Jar featured in the non-Mac App Store version. 🛠

It’s not working though. The setting that allows IAPs to be used is greyed out. I’ve accepted every agreement there is and have had paid apps on the store for a while now. The only reference I can find about it online is this StackOverflow post. Apparently the issue resolved itself after uploading a build.

I’ve done just that, hoping in two days I can update this post. I’m curious about the underlying cause though. 🤔

Update: I turned “Automatically manage signing” off and on again, and voilà the In-App Purchase feature is enabled. Odd.

Quick rundown of Relax’ launch last Wednesday:

• 😸 113 upvotes on Product Hunt
• 🗞 2 articles posted
• 📈 561 unique visits
• 💾 313 downloads
• 💰 0 donations

I was really hoping for at least a single use of the Tip Jar. Maybe I need to push the option a bit more aggressively. 😅

Installing a PicoPSU into my Japanese SEGA Saturn and Dreamcast has been one of the best mods I’ve done. It took until today to find a proper power supply that doesn’t ruin the picture though.

I launched an app today! It’s been a while. Being on the Product Hunt homepage again is awesome. I love how it’s an integral part of launching products. 😸

Introducing Relax: mutes your speakers when you disconnect your headphones. 🎧

Always test your brand new app with all its defaults removed before you launch it. 💡

Here’s how to do that:

• Quit the app.
• Run this terminal command:

$ defaults delete [bundle id]

So for my new app Relax it’s:

$ defaults delete com.dangercove.Relax.Mac

Voultar’s latest video shows his recommendation for a starter soldier station. I happened to be in the market for one of those and the KSGER T12 he highlights is only $49,99.

After looking up the product on AliExpress I came across quite a few variants, even cheaper than fifty bucks. Looking at the screenshots, not all of them would get Voultar’s seal of approval, though. I went with the product linked below the video (Voular’s affiliate link) eventually.

Here’s what I mean. The first screenshot is from the KSGER T12 listed on Banggood. The second and third are from similar products on AliExpress. See the difference?

Pulling the left trigger while playing Layer Section on Sega Saturn toggles the HUD. This is amazing. 🎮

Phew, it’s done. I merged all my apps from their own domain into dangercove.com. The last one on the list was denied.app. I just got that domain name too, I think it’s rather cool.

I’m assuming having my products on one site will boost visitors and hopefully make it a little easier to keep the content up to date. We’ll see.

Organizing a directory full of games into a more convenient set of alphabetized directories (0-9, A-C, D-E etc.) can be quite helpful. I’ve written a script that does just that. 🗄

Running organize_games 25 will create neat collections with an estimated maximum amount of 25 games per directory.

Twenty minutes into the The Devil’s Doorway, it makes a much better first impression than last night’s Hell House LLC part II.

The acting and atmosphere are great. I hope it gets a little scarier. 🍿

I’m twenty minutes into Hell House LLC part II and it’s a little disappointing. :(

The first installment was such a great movie. Felt really authentic. 🍿

TIL it’s Shudder (not Shutter) when they talk about the horror streaming service on the 🎙 Horror Movie Podcast. 😅

I’d subscribe in a second, but unfortunately it’s not available in The Netherlands. This always happens and a VPN usually works around the issue. Not this time though; Shudder needs a credit card from a supported country.

Oh well, if you are from one of the supported countries, listen to a HMP episode for a coupon that’ll let you try Shudder for thirty days instead of seven.

I started submitting Pull Requests for all the changes I make to the open source projects I use. It’s really rewarding.

Before, I’d just resolve issues locally, only submitting a patch when the effort was minimal. Adding support for macOS to Hyper’s iOS-only confetti library called Cheers definitely took more time, but the result is pretty great.
