∞ Epic is Launching a Games Store
Soon we'll launch the Epic Games store, and begin a long journey to advance the cause of all developers. The store will launch with a hand-curated set of games on PC and Mac, then it will open up more broadly to other games...
Here is to a brighter future of game developers and players. Hope it becomes a viable Steam alternative. Interestingly, they are also launching a Play Store competitor:
and to Android and other open platforms throughout 2019.
Competitions are always welcomed!
∞ Exponent is Back
I almost jumped when I saw this tweet in my timeline. This long summer break is finally over. Ben and James at their best talk about Apple and antitrust.
∞ Bringing Google Fi to more people on Android and iOS
Big day! I have been a (unsupported) Project Fi iPhone user for a while. When I discovered the team was hiring to add iPhone support, I immediately joined.
It has absolutely been a great journey to work with all the smart people who care deeply about our users. And today, it's launched 🤗
I personally understand the current experience on iPhone isn't perfect yet, so bear with us while we are improving the service.
What an incredible way of harvesting.

∞ Overcast 5 Released
I really love the new affordance on the now playing screen.
∞ The End of Exponent, For Now
I know there will always be something missing in the summer. But I couldn't imagine this summer might last forever. Thank you, @benthompson and @jamesallworth. I enjoyed every single episode of Exponent.
∞ Apps of a Feather
Twitter is shutting down their streaming API, without replacements for third parties to implement Push notifications. Shame.
These days, the only thing makes Twitter usable for me is Tweetbot.
