For Chris McMains, from his brother Sean (with AI-assisted analysis) Date: August 15, 2026
This document combines feedback from three independent AI-driven reviews of attendingtoself.com — a UX/design review, a conversion/marketing review, and a content/editorial review — reconciled with Sean's own notes. The goal is to give Chris actionable, prioritized feedback that respects the strength of what he's already built while identifying the changes that would move the needle most.
| /* Sound-Reactive Drums for Adafruit Gemma/Trinket and NeoPixel LEDs. | |
| Hardware requirements: | |
| - Adafruit Gemma, Gemma M0, or 3V Trinket microcontroller. | |
| Do NOT use a 5V Trinket; circuit DEPENDS on the 3V regulator! | |
| - Adafruit Electret Microphone Amplifier (product ID: 1063) | |
| - A length of NeoPixel LEDs, such as: | |
| o Adafruit Flora RGB Smart Pixels (ID: 1260) | |
| o Adafruit NeoPixel Digital LED strip (ID: 1138) | |
| o Adafruit Neopixel Ring (ID: 1463) |

| # To use this script: | |
| # 1. Save it on your Mac hard drive somewhere convenient. | |
| # 2. `chmod` its permissions to make it executable. E.g. `chmod 755 handle-camera.sh`. | |
| # 3. In the Shortcuts app, create "Start Conference" and "End Conference" shortcuts that activate lights | |
| # and do whatever else you want to happen when conferences start and end. | |
| # 4. Download and install Oversight to watch for camera activation/deactivation: | |

Today’s very hard-won lesson: be careful how you do TextField content filtering! We were filtering input to a text field (making sure the field only accepted numbers, etc.) like so:
@Binding var value: String
TextField( placeholder, text: $value )
.onReceive( Just( value ), perform: {
self.value = self.contentType.filterCharacters( oldValue: $0 )
})

Mutual Mobile has been very lucky this year to have a number of our devs awarded tickets to attend WWDC. As the time grows close, speculation about what we'll be seeing this year is reaching a fever pitch. As developers, we have a lot of stake in what Apple reveals in a couple of short weeks, and we've had some great discussions about what we expect to see and what we are hoping for. Here are a number of the things we're wishing for and estimates of how likely we think it is that our dreams will come true.
The last time Apple mentioned the Apple TV, they lowered the price: "starting at $69". The "starting at" makes it a near certainty that there's an updated Apple TV in the works, and rumors seem to indicate that an SDK for doing development for the updated box is a very likely as well. An SDK would allow video providers to create new apps to share video content from a variety of new sources, and to enrich that video content w
