Nintype short 1 min tutorial video: youtube.com/watch?v=xVVeq2… it shows how to properly type with it, and how to use autospace

Apple deserved it

Bi-yearly post so that elon doesn’t sell my account.. (also still quite busy with my game, sorry, will be a while yet before I can get back to nintype. It stopping working on my iphone might push that but things seem to be fine lately...)

@kunal_07 @EZ_eta Not right now, but apple vision pro might make me finally get back to it

@jormy @EZ_eta hey, any update on nintype? are you actively working on it?

Okay quick update time. Nintype 2 _may_ be on the table for 2023 if the stars align. That is, if I end up having to port my game to ios, which means a chance to siphon some of the time for nintype development. Small chance though

@bigseanbrown @NSSkippy Hmm, haven’t touched that calendar app for a while unfortunately. Made the mistake of making an app that I don’t personally use (don’t have much on my calendars) unlike nintype which I still use to this day. Also might be a while before any android situation with nintype is fixed

@jormy @NSSkippy Would you ever consider making a 123 calendar for android? Also, is there a place where I can get the official keyboard 69 apk? Having nintype is 50% of the reason I switched to android, been using it since the og jailbreak days!

One final note: if somehow nintype just stops working on ios, well, I’ll buy a Mac studio and start getting back to it. However it still works and these tweets are written with nintype. Works fine except for the frequent restarts 💀

@shibbyfresh looks like I failed to continue my app developer subscription, thought it would do it automatically but didn’t somehow. It should be back now

@shibbyfresh Hmm I for sure didn’t remove it, so it was apple taking some kind of automated action..

Also the existence of hardcore coders imply the existence of softcore coders

Just read about George Hotz and twitter. Seems like pitting someone from jailbreaking and self driving tech background into doing react and backend code was ill fated to begin with.. If anyone has more details about it I’m curious to read

@kikangh Turn on/off open access but sometimes iOS lets you do it just by pressing the globe button twice 🤷‍♂️

@jormy How do you manage to restart Nintype when it is frozen ?

@chickenmatt5 That I’m not too surprised about, android keyboard api miles ahead of ios’s. Nintype still restarts in my iphone, although I am still on my iphone x

@jormy It’s still working great on Android!

@EZ_eta That one might be easier, I just need a 64 bit android phone. and some time to modernize the code base a little bit

@jormy What about Android version? 😬

With all these ai frameworks maybe that’s for the best though

Also maybe I’ve mentioned it before but around 2015 I tried to get into voice recognition and apply some of what I learned from nintype into it. Didn’t get anywhere because of the rabbit hole that is game development 💀

@sanshugoel Sorry, not really. I’ve only been thinking about it, and I know what I want to do with it, but the biggest barrier is my other works right now

Posting just so that Mr Musk doesn’t delete this account.. And sorry that nintype 2 is still nowhere to be seen

@kikangh Honestly, the feature set is not the problem. I will port things to metal because eventually apple will just completely make opengl not work (probably) and that might make it more stable

@jormy Maybe a bit less features to simplify the work at first, and get the basis stable enough ? Really loved that two thumbs action

I’ve been moonlighting as a game developer on another twitter account and there’s been significant progress, but this game development thing just takes a while 😔
