Blog: wallet mockups, video and App Store
Notes on crypto wallet simulators and mockups, App Store screenshots, and wallet screens on video: what a composed screen can show, and what it can never prove.
New
Fren meaning: "friend", misspelled on purpose, from animal memes to crypto
The definition of fren, how crypto communities use it, illustrative posts with a tone tag, a dated origin, and the 2019 episode that gave the word a darker second sense.
GM meaning: "good morning", the daily crypto greeting (and gn)
What gm and gn mean, why crypto people post them every day, illustrative posts with a tone tag, a dated origin from Know Your Meme, and the other things GM stands for.
Larp wallet for Android: no APK, installed from Chrome
My Larp Wallet has no APK and no Play Store listing: Chrome installs it from its own address in two taps. Google's current menu labels, the Samsung Internet and Edge routes, the fixes when nothing shows up, and why an APK from an unknown site is the risky route.
Larp and flex culture
The word larp, from the hobby to the insult, and everything around it: how a rich life is staged prop by prop, why people flex money online, what a PnL card hides, and the slang of crypto Twitter.
What does LARP mean? The hobby, the slang and every sense in between
A dated timeline from the first foam-sword games of 1977 to the 2026 slang spike, and a table of nine senses with an example sentence for each.
Larping rich: how a wealthy life is staged online, prop by prop
A sourced price list for the props behind a staged rich life, from a jet cabin rented by the hour to a mocked-up revenue dashboard, then how to recognize each one and the point where the act turns into fraud.
Larping vs posing, performative, grifting and cosplay: the differences
Seven ways of playing a part, compared on the same five questions, with one example each, then a six-question test for the point where larping turns into lying.
Crypto and flex glossary
Short, sourced definitions of the words you meet on crypto Twitter, in memecoin chats and in flex posts: what each one means, the tone it carries, where it came from when that is documented, and the terms it gets confused with.
Crypto wallet mockups
What a wallet simulator draws and what it never touches, how a believable balance is put together, and where a mockup stops being honest.
What a crypto wallet simulator is, and where its limits are
It draws the interface of a wallet without being one. That distinction is the whole subject, and most of the confusion around these tools comes from skipping it.
How to make a crypto portfolio mockup that adds up
A portfolio screen is a total, a change, and a sorted list. The sorting is what most mockups get wrong, and it is the first thing that looks off on screen.
How to spot a fake crypto wallet screenshot
A composed wallet screen is quick to make and quick to check. The tells are arithmetic, timestamps and rounding, and none of them settle whether a number is real.
Larp wallet app: is there an APK, an IPA or a store version?
My Larp Wallet has none of the three. The wallet is a web app that opens at your own address and sits on your home screen, which is also why any file carrying its name deserves suspicion.
Fake crypto wallet apps: a harmless simulator, or a scam that takes your keys
The phrase covers two opposite things: a tool that draws a wallet screen, and an app built to take your keys. Most people typing it want the first one.
Crypto wallet mockup, prototype or model: which one you need
Three words get used for the same request, and they name three different deliverables. Only one of them is an image you can hand over tomorrow morning.
Video and creators
For people who put a wallet screen in front of a camera or an audience: YouTube and TikTok creators, filmmakers, presenters.
How to record a crypto wallet screen for a video
Most of what makes a wallet clip look wrong is not the numbers. It is the status bar, the notifications, and a price column that does not move.
How to film a phone screen: flicker, moire and prop content
A screen filmed badly is the cheapest way to make an expensive shot look amateur. Most of the problem is settled before anyone frames anything.
Crypto stock footage and b-roll of a wallet screen: licenses, brands and a clean alternative
Stock libraries have plenty of crypto on phones. Little of it is a wallet screen you can put in an ad: it is either someone else’s brand or a chart that looks like no app.
How to larp crypto honestly: a larp wallet tutorial in five steps
From an empty wallet to a clip you can publish, with a Mockup label on screen from the first frame to the last.
Running a wallet demo live, in front of a room
A live wallet demo breaks in ways rehearsal hides: conference wifi, a balance that moved overnight, twenty seconds of dead air waiting on a confirmation. Fix what you can before you walk in.
Is it safe to share a crypto wallet address or screenshot?
A screenshot of your own wallet publishes an address and an amount, permanently, to an audience that includes people looking for exactly that pair.
App Store screenshots
Exact pixel sizes for every iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Vision Pro and Apple Watch class, read from Apple's own pages, each article dated.
iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air: resolution and screenshot sizes
Four new phones, three pixel sizes, and one of them is brand new. The arithmetic that produces them, and the upload slot each one lands in.
“The dimensions of one or more screenshots are wrong”: the fix
App Store Connect checks your file against a closed list of pixel sizes. One pixel off and the upload stops. Here is the list, and the three ways people land outside it.
iPhone screen sizes in points and pixels: the full table
Layout happens in points, files are measured in pixels, and the bridge between them is a single multiplication. Every current iPhone, both ways.
App Store screenshot guidelines: why screenshots get rejected
Two entirely different failure modes wear the same word. One is caught by a file checker in seconds, the other by a reviewer days later, and only one of them costs you a release.
iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro screenshot sizes
Five iPad display classes, one of them required and the rest filled by scaling, then the short lists for Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro.
Why 9:41? What the status bar should say in App Store screenshots
Nine forty-one, full bars, full battery: a convention with a reason behind it, and a set of measurements for anyone rebuilding the bar rather than capturing it.
