All this exercise and I tweak my back picking up a feather duster!

In the last 6-8 months I’ve been doing 3 workouts a week for strength and cardio on non strength days.

Recently tweaked my back I think doing zerchers last week. Thought I was fine and then this morning when picking up a feather duster my back got re-tweaked! I’m so annoyed I’m lifting more than I have been in my life and get done in by a feather duster.

I think it’s more of a balance thing? Stupidest question ever: what exercises can I do to stop tweaking lower back by ribs when picking up stuff off balance?

Looking for feedback on my weird little banana breakout game on iOS

Hey all,

I’ve been building a small iOS arcade game called Banana Bounce and would genuinely love feedback from people outside my own family for once (they are so sick of me).

It’s a one-shot physics/bounce game where you pull back, launch the banana ball, and try to clear each board (breakout, golfish, roguelite) in a single shot while ricocheting around fruit bumpers and obstacles.

A few bits:

quick arcade-style levels
physics chaos
daily challenge mode
offline playable
no ads / no monetisation currently

I’m mainly looking for feedback on:

first impressions
difficulty balance
controls/aiming feel
whether the gameplay loop actually feels satisfying

Breakout + golf + roguelite upgrades + bananas = my new game

Been building this little roguelite arcade game called Banana Bounce 🍌

It’s kinda like breakout meets golf meets “just one more run”. You aim once per ball/level, bounce round fruit bumpers, grab upgrades, and try not to absolutely bottle the later boards. Been making all the art/code/music decisions myself which has been equal parts fun and chaos mush. It's free, give it a go!

Would genuinely love feedback from people who like weird indie arcade stuff:

[tvOS] Home Video Channel is finally at the point where I’m actually happy with it

A little while back I posted about an Apple TV app I was building for Immich focused entirely on video playback. Mainly because most stuff I tried seemed very photo-focused or struggled once libraries got large.

After a lot of tinkering/testing it’s now in a place where it feels genuinely solid, so thought I’d share an update.

Current features:

continuous playback with random or sequential modes
minimum clip duration filtering
channel tabs for:
- Time & Place
- Albums
- People
- Search
favourites + hide forever controls
metadata/info overlay during playback
library stats screen
SQLite caching/sync for large libraries
playback tuning (crossfade/preload/queue target)
QR feedback/support flow directly from the TV
designed specifically for large Immich video libraries

Been using it loads at home and it’s honestly become one of those apps we just leave running in the background. Ended up rediscovering loads of old clips of the kids, holidays, random stuff we’d forgotten about etc as all existing slideshows focus on photos. So our library from last 20 years has been gold. Especially with my dads advice to just video 60 second snippets of kids doing every day stuff... That really adds up!

One thing I’m currently still battling with is very large bitrate original files (4K GoPro / DSLR / drone footage etc.) occasionally buffering. This is on a hardwired Apple TV over 1Gbit networking, so if anyone’s got tips/experience with handling massive bitrate playback on tvOS/Immich I’d genuinely love to hear it.

Would genuinely love feedback or feature ideas from other Immich users.

There is also a web-based fork. Both the tvOS app and the web based video slideshow are open source and on github.
