I’ve wanted to build a football app for over a decade but it’s not cheap licensing data as a hobby let alone taking the risk should your app take off. Sad to see apps falling by the wayside due to spiralling costs.

Had a creative couple of days, fitting in time to make a lino stamp. Some trial and error but the last attempt came out better than anything I had attempted before. Ink is drying on my prints so will finish them with details in a day or two.

Wrote a lot of what felt like modern CSS today which feels way more maintainable and readable. Built out a colour system and variables all over the place that will make theming and spacing a breeze to update.

2026 is going to be the year of Simplifying ✌️

Still fuming I never got one of these.

Been a while but finally got v1.5 of Team Sheets out. Now onto the next batch of features! If you’re using it I’d love feedback and please do leave a review in the App Store.

Today was my first chance to attend an Apple session and it was really interesting to listen and learn more about Liquid Glass and iOS 26. Hope I can join in with more of these sessions in the future. Their Battersea offices make for a great venue.

Another proud dad day under my belt 🥰

No reason for the Inter player to pull his shirt and I wouldn’t say it’s an obvious error and if Wirtz doesn’t go down I don’t think VAR even look at it. #lfc

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

I guess Apple will be rejecting tons of apps from the App Store thanks to their updated guidelines?! “5.1.2(i): Clarifies that you must clearly disclose where personal data will be shared with third parties, including with third-party AI, and obtain explicit permission before doing so.”

Waiting for the better angels of CEOs? Don’t hold your breath.

This. Again. 🤦‍♂️ #lfc

That was a tense game to watch given the usual Courtois heroics but a great win and some really good performances across the team #lfc #lfcrma

I’m constantly sat here wondering what the point of VAR is 🤦‍♂️ #lfc

Seems like both issues here are fixed so now I’m contemplating going back to the hard-to-discover list search. Prefer my own solution to be honest.

Nallo unlucky with the way it all unfolded but he di what Konate should have done vs Brentford.

Not sure why Sky keep showing the Chiesa effort given the linesman had his flag up so it wouldn’t have counted had it gone in #lfc

#lfc really know how to ruin a weekend 😞

Found the #lfc game more entertaining without an eye on social media last night. Think I’m going to make that change and generally look at it all less.

Really like the widgets view in CarPlay but on a non-touch screen implementation it is not obvious when/how you’re interacting. Also quite like the rounded corners introduced in the latest update. Looks great on my car’s infotainment screen and just happens to work concentrically too!

I really don't like this Siri suggested widget for when I'm away from home and it suggests how long it might take to get back. The suggestion is fine but it just feels so cramped.

Finished updating Team Sheets for its next release. Once that’s out I’m going to reduce the scope of some of the next ones I had planned so I can focus on a couple of other ideas I’ve had. Mercurion could benefit from some Apple Intelligence integrations but no idea how to integrate it yet.

As part of #WeirdWrbOctober my entry for day 5 might actually be a pretty useful tool for my own needs! I built a tool that remixes common layout patterns to help inspire initial wireframes: weird.cchana.dev/2025/remix/

No app development the past few days but I am submitting items for #WierdWebOctober! You can find all my entries at weird.cchana.dev/2025

I’m participating in #WeirdWebOctober and have submitted my website for day 1’s theme #transparency: weird.cchana.dev/2025/transpa... Change the blend mode of a gradient that goes from black to transparent and scroll to see how the changes apply against different colours.

No idea why the engraving wasn’t showing up on my iPhone before but it does now and it’s one of those touches that just makes a device feel so personal.

Bit of work on Mercurion tonight and have refined the list views and tidied up archives. Also validated that writing tools work when available. Also also using catalyst for cross platform compatibility because Xcode was complaining too much! #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Prototyping my next app, Mercurion, has been straight forward enough but I’m pretty sure NavigationSplitView is the cause of lots of issues for me. Trying to persevere with the layout as it does make sense for a post drafting app but I’ve had to drop the details view #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Very happy with how my new app’s icon has turned out. Once again I’m building with SwiftUI and while I’ve bit some bumps along the way I’m making good progress. #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

New Tech Gripes www.1thingaweek.com/week/413/new...

Posting about these beauties and modern tech in general on @1thingaweek.com tomorrow. trying to figure out a way to explain my thoughts in a video on how they stack up to my previous Apple/Beats wireless earbuds

THIS! I need to get back to posting examples to sitejoy.dev to prove it’s possible to build great websites that are not just full of bloat!

Working on a new app, which I have a name for, and NavigationSplitView has been giving me a headache. I just don’t understand how to bring highlighting behaviour to the iPad. I thought iPadOS was a thing but not according to Xcode where it’s treated as iOS 😩 #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Why did no one tell me about this setting?! I’m doing my best to give into music streaming and this is gonna make that way easier!

Impressed with the quality of the new AirPods Pro 3. The engravings are so big though these days! First impressions on @1thingaweek.com and YouTube coming in the next day or so.

👏

Haven’t used Windows in years and yet I heard the *donk* reading this 😂

America was once the country of competition. It’s now a country of corruption and acquisitions.

Now iOS 26 is out, think I'm getting to grips with certain patterns. Going to revisit the search filter in Team Sheets in the coming weeks as I am not happy with the UI inconsistencies. Will gather some evidence before I implement it and then I'll share my findings on @1thingaweek.com #SwiftUI

iPad support is here for Team Sheets! #swiftUI apps.apple.com/gb/app/team-...

My two biggest annoyances with iOS 26. Taken from the Music app but apparent in my own apps too. Number 1:

After a short delay just to a layout issue with iOS 17/18, the iOS 26 update for Kop Quiz is out! apps.cchana.dev/kopquiz

I missed Apple Intelligence compatibility by a single year. The new AirPods I'm getting won't have Live Translations as a result. I also don't have the Dual Capture option for videos in the Camera app despite the hardware supporting the feature.

iOS 26 update complete and I don’t like folders and notifications at the moment. Also clearly a bug with list filter search bars. Even in Apple Music so will be filling a bug tomorrow! #apple

Team Sheets v1.2 has been out for a few days and in truth, it was already compatible with iOS 26! It was designed to instantly take advantage of a few things that Liquid Glass brought to the table. Here's a look over @1thingaweek.com on what the changes were. #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Reposting this from 8 months ago given Musk’s involvement with the far right in the UK yesterday.

Pushed Team Sheets 1.2 out into the world earlier today. iOS 26 compatibility and Liquid Glass icons in place so if you update it will be ready on day 1! #swiftUI #buildInPublic apps.cchana.dev/teamsheets

Very pleased with how these icons have turned out for Team Sheets and Kop Quiz 😊 #iOS26 #LiquidGlass #icons #buildInPublic #swiftUi

Jealous of all those who placed preorders for their Cosmic Orange iPhones today. Not ready to upgrade but it’s like Apple just made the exact iPhone I’d love to have 😫
