I spent part of the day making the iOS app less chatty. Notifications used to fire whenever they felt like it, and I went through and made them deliberate instead, only speaking up when there's something worth saying. Along the way I gave AC's icon a drip, a small liquid touch that didn't exist yesterday. Then I prepared the one point two release with measured foreground usage, so the app has a clearer sense of when it's actually in front of someone versus just sitting open in the background.
