“I’m a happy designer when…” is a series of reflections on my work.
I’d like to share the small wins, good feelings, accidental victories, and micro accomplishments that epitomize my job at its best.

apps that have their own setting for light/dark appearance — why… why would the default be anything other than “follow device”?
I can sort of understand why an app would want its own setting, but why is it starting me anywhere other than what I set iOS to do? why do I have to discover, years into this, that there was an app setting preventing it from going dark all this time?

by “three different planes” I meant plane models. a 777, an A320, and a 737-800

regular reminder that in PG&E lingo, a “customer" is a connection to a building which could contain many humans. and that a green (?!) dot means anywhere from 1 through 49 buildings are without power. yes, green. the color that usually means things are good.

and all this is produced by a company based out of mainland China. nothing against them, but longer-term I worry about their app, and their government's requests, and any future "decoupling" of economies

this particular model is a Petkit Eversweet 3.
unfortunately this starts to get into the nits — this model has a wired connection in the water basin between the pump and power. pretty much guaranteed to fail someday, just sitting there in water. the 3 Pro switches the wire out for an inductive connection (smart!), but has (requires?) an app to control it instead of straightforward buttons.

but the best part is the "smart" functionality — the water will flow for a while, then will remain still for a while. the change between flowing and not reminds the cats that it's there, and often is the prompt for them to remember to drink. this is great.

I always have nits, but the good things: it's aesthetically clean and straightforward. it's much quieter than the cat water fountains I’ve heard previously — pretty much just the noise of water flowing, no human-ear-discernible motor noise. it has a braided USB cable for power. it has backup batteries for when the power fails. the water container is steel (I wish the drinking tray were steel too).
