What’s the last piece of software you were genuinely excited about? Well built, fast, pretty to look at, no enshittification?
@nikitonsky Halide camera app and Kino video app for iOS by Lux. Don’t look like much initially (apart from being well-designed, obviously 😉), but you appreciate the little details more and more the more you use them.

@ujay68 I tried using Halide when I got too annoyed with the amount of processing default camera adds. But then I noticed Halide takes a lot of time just to save photo. On multiple occasions, I made a photo and it didn’t appear in gallery because I closed Halide too fast. Does that happens to you too? If not that, I’d use it as a default
@nikitonsky @ujay68 I still run into that and some other performance weirdness in Halide from time to time, but overall I like it
@nikitonsky I’ve heard about these issues, and I know they worked hard to fix them, but I’ve never experienced them myself. And they now have a „Process Zero“ that saves a mostly unprocessed photo, as far as this is even possible with a digital sensor and Apple‘s APIs.

@ujay68 yeah, that happens with process zero. TBH, other camera apps that remove processing seem to have the same problem. I guess Apple has some magic tricks for its own app
