Retrospecs - a pixel art image processing app for iOS

Retrospecs lets you convert images and videos so they appear as they would on a variety of home computers and consoles from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It's part image filter app, part tribute to the sort of computers I lusted after whilst pouring over copies of Byte magazine as a lad. Retrospecs is available for iOS (it supports iPhones, iPods and iPads) and the current version requires iOS 14 or above. Earlier versions of the 3.x series are available for iOS 10.3 and above. Version 2 will work on iOS 9, although the blending options aren't available and the 1.36 release will work on older devices, although it doesn't support image animations or video processing.)

  I took over Painteresque, a 14 year old Objective-C app and rebuilt it2025 · apps.apple.com · ▲117

  Around 3 weeks ago, I came across a reddit post from someone who was looking to see if anyone was interested in taking over a 12-14 year old objective c app which hadn't been on the app store for many years. I responded and decided to do it. The app is called Painteresque. It lets you turn photos to charcoal drawings, paintings etc while doing all the processing locally on device: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/painteresque-photo-to-sketch/i... The app is entirely free to use, has no ads, third party analytics, trackers, subscriptions or other junk. It does offer…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
