this week i'm FINALLY going to share + open-source three little random projects I've been working on! here's the first one: BALL it's just a little ball that lives in your dock. take it out, throw it around, put it back. comes in one color: red. bouncy.

it's inspired by this classic Dock widget by @nheagy which i have lots of fond memories of (hey i shouldve added a motion blur!)

technically, the Ball is a transparent SpriteKit window with a physics body (the ball). the only remotely interesting thing here is that it animates in/out of its dock icon. you technically can't do this, but you can SORTA guess where the dock icon is, so it SORTA works!

imagine if you could change the color of the ball. you can't. but just imagine. it could even be an image such as your face. but only if you do it yourself anyway, here's the code (plus a pre-built download): stay tuned for project 2 of 3 tomorrow :)

Reminded me of Stress Relief from back in the day. How’s that not come back in style on Mac????

Would it be possible to have it interact with the cursor instead of having to click on it ? Like I could just hit it with the mouse and it will go flying

So good! Bring back fun, personal-scale software! Would be a dream to see someone building ball on Playbit later this year

Viktor Hovland says he’s been struggling with visualising shots and has been seeing shots that he didn’t even think were possible. I think this is something that anyone who’s played competitive golf can relate to: “That's one of the things that's been very difficult, especially when you've been going through some struggles like I have. “Some of the shots that I've seen are just like, Whoa, how is that even possible? Like, I've never seen some of those shots before. Then I've had moments where, okay, I think I'm onto something, it feels good, and then that one big miss comes back again. “So even if you're playing good golf it's still kind of in the back of your mind a little bit, like, Oh, are we over it, are we good. And you have a little bit of doubt still in there, even though you're hitting good shots. I don't know if there's like this one point where you go, Oh, I got it now, it just kind of those big misses stop happening and then you just expect to see the ball going straight. Kind of like what happened this week. “Because even U.S. Open last week, I thought I drove it a lot better, but I had one big miss on the 12th hole out there in the left-to-right wind that went OB, so I had one bad shot that cost me two shots for the tournament and I missed the cut by a shot. “Canada was a lot better. But still it felt like I was maybe guiding it a little bit, not quite as comfortable as I would have liked. But it was definitely a huge step in the right direction. So I've been like progressing the whole way, but still having a little bit of doubt in there. But this week I just kind of went to work and felt comfortable.” PGA Tour TravelersChamp
