✨ New Article Out Now! "How to Get Your Conference Talk Proposal Noticed" I recently had the opportunity to review CFPs for an upcoming conference. After going through hundred of proposals, I noticed a couple of things that set the good ones apart. danijelavrzan.com/posts/2025/1...

One of my favorite parts of winter is eating delicious winter food 😄 "Sarma" is a delicious cooked meal made by wrapping meat filling in sour cabbage leaves. Smells like home 😊

Stargate is being rebooted! 🤩 I'm excited to see what will come of it, but worried they will just ruin it. The beauty of the original Stargate are the actors and the focus on the story, not so much about the visuals. www.aboutamazon.com/news/enterta...

One thing that annoys me the most is Apple reverting my settings every time I update to a new version of OS or Xcode or any of their software. Every. Single. Time. Why is it so hard to persist user settings?

TIL the @.Observable macro doesn't trigger updates for equatable properties starting with iOS 26. But for prior releases, we have to manually check equality for the object properties to improve our app performances. Thank you for the tip Steven!

TIL Xcode 26 has a View Debugging tool to show when a View is rendered called “Flash Updated Regions”. This seems very powerful and useful, I’ll make sure to débug my apps with that turned on.

Netflix is absolutely unusable at this point. Movies and shows are hard to find. Categories make no sense and I really don't understand why I can't just filter by type, like fiction, instead of scrolling through endless curated collections of "Boredom Busters". What?!

It's really nice when you can outsource extra work to someone, like in-house - literally 😬 Hubby really did some nice work on my redesigned website. First version I built in Canva in 5 mins to quickly satisfy AppStore rules 😅 This one is much better! chevapps.com

Started my trip to New York for the @revenuecat.com RAGA/App Week! So far, my flight is only delayed 1:30 hrs. I'd be happy if it's only delayed and I still arrive on time considering half of the flights were already cancelled. 😅

I am really annoyed with the new OS26 on all devices. Apart from wonky animations that are getting in the way and unnecessarily large buttons covering screen real estate, everything takes extra taps to open and it's not user friendly. That's my biggest issue.

I made Auralog because I was fed up with migraine apps full of forms and steps—the last thing I want when I’m in pain. Effortlessly capture a migraine instantly—or later when you feel better. Auralog brings you back. I’m taking my life back, and you can too. OUT NOW apps.apple.com/us/app/aural...

It’s launch day! 🚀 Andreas (7yo) and I just released Miniotaur 🏛️ Our father–son app for #Shipaton where you can build, share & escape mazes is now live on the App Store 🤩 Andreas is so thrilled! 🥰 Have a look! ❤️ apps.apple.com/app/id675128... #iOSDev #IndieDev #Shipaton #ParentDev

On my way to India for SwiftBharat! First flight to Abu Dhabi ✈️ It's a long flight, I can finally catch up on some Silksong 😄 See you all in a few days!

Fall is here! Enjoy the new app icon I had a lot of fun creating 🎃

Developers – I will be sharing posts from apps updated for iOS 26 tomorrow. Create a post sharing both what your app does and what’s new, and I’ll add it to an ongoing thread – on all platforms. Reply here or when you see the post on Monday. Looking forward to seeing your updates!

I'm proud of all my Swift friends working hard this summer updating their apps for tomorrow's release! ✨ I hope the launch day goes well and your hard work pays off 🥂

My app Tutti, a sheet music reader for iPad, has an update coming out Tomorrow (pending app review). It’s being updated with the new design and Liquid Glass! If you read music, give it a try and let me know what you think! Here is a video demo showing off the new design. gettutti.app

My @darknoise.app update with the new iOS 26 Liquid Glass design, and a new Magic Mix feature (demoed here) powered by the new Foundation Model API & Apple Intelligence is ready for tomorrow's release! If you're press writing about app updates, my press release is below 🧵👇

Excited to ship Nunch 2.0 on Monday! 🚀

Let's gooooo ✨

Such a cool app idea for all tabletop gamers out there! 🤩

What does everyone use for analytics in their iOS apps? There seems to be a lot of options out there, but which ones you all prefer? I'd like it to be simple, minimum user tracking, I just want to see a few basic analytics, nothing complicated.

Happy Silksong day to those who celebrate 😊👀
