I cannot be stopped, I will be making more robot symbol variants. (I needed this bc I am adding an AI feature to my app, and I do not like the sparkle) I would love if I could animate an eye rotation, but I have not figured that out yet. (Also the naming is bad, I know)

Using both Codex and Claude Code to create a new website, I am amazed how much faster Claude is, and how much better result I get. Night and day.

Hoping for a less toxic and orange licking Apple.

EmojiKit 2.4 is out, with support for Emojis 17 🫪. Don't be a sad 🪊 player. Dance like a 🧑‍🩰 into the repo and grab this new release, full of emoji 🪎. #Swift #SwiftUI github.com/danielsaidi/...

Swift Package Scripts 3.0 is out! 🚀 This version removes the script file extension to let us trigger scripts easier. github.com/danielsaidi/...

I have a very strange Foundation Models bug, where my next word prediction session returns uppercase when in Safari, otherwise lowercase. Nothing in the setup changes, and it's always running inside a keyboard, so Safari being the host app must somehow affect the system logic in a very strange way.

KeyboardKit 10.4 is out! 🚀 This version improves the keyboard launch time and adds ways to work around the breaking host application changes in iOS 26.4. keyboardkit.com/blog/2026/04...

St Julian’s in Malta seems like the perfect mix of maximum capitalism and minimum taxation. The hotels and commercial parts are top notch while most of the coastal line is cut off from the public and the few remaining parts are dirty or ruined.

Listening to a podcast discussing Hail Mary and speed of light led me to new (maybe incorrect) insights. Since you can’t accelerate to C (energy tangent -> infinity) and time slows down exponentially, does time then stand still for photons, who DO travel in C…meaning they can be everywhere at once?

1.0 of App Store Connect CLI is out! 🎉 Go ship more!! github.com/rudrankriya...

Since the host application bundle ID is still broken in iOS 26.5, KeyboardKit 10.4 adds new ways to manage the host and main app. This update also improves the keyboard launch times, lets you open the main app with a reason, and adds new autocomplete toolbar styles. keyboardkit.com/blog/2026/04...

This is...concerning. I never use Claude with my closed-source projects, because I don't trust that they won't send the code to use for training. So I copy snippets, ask general questions, etc. Just now, I started a new prompt and got this. I didn't mention keyboards at all.

Although I love Apple's Icon Composer, I find that it exports blurry PNGs. I've therefore created Sketch variants of the icon, to allow for sharper exports for use within the app. This also lets me play with shadows and depth in a less constrained way and separate the product icon from the app.

KeyboardKit is getting a new icon and brand design! We’re moving from a glowing keyboard key to an abstract design with two Ks on a gradient background that carries over our visual feel from the old icon into a new, glassy future. keyboardkit.com/blog/2026/03...

I’m looking for a basic, good looking newsletter engine for my company and products. Any recommendations? :)

This has been an insanely exciting week for KeyboardKit related stuff. So many cool things are being built by new users, a new science project seems to be happening, and I’m looking forward to building some new features for the upcoming 10.4.

I'm testing a new KeyboardKit icon idea, where I use the Liquid Glass concept to keep the current icon's color gradient, but overlay it with glass shapes that form an abstract outline of two K's. I like it - but perhaps it's too abstract? Here's the current icon and the new in light, dark and mono.

I saw Project Hail Mary yesterday. I guess everything is Disney jokes and Grogu creatures from now on.

the types of podcasts: a guide

During the last few years, many have asked me what the A in the KeyboardKit icon (left) refers to. The fact that it has evolved out of a plain, white iOS keyboard key has been increasingly hard to defend. Therefore, a new icon is being considered. Which of these ideas (right) do you like most?

Regularly I am amazed at the accuracy of the advice "If you feel like you hate everyone, eat. If you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. If you feel like you hate yourself, shower. If you feel like everyone hates everyone, go outside."

Automate App Store Connect asccli.sh

iOS 26.4 removes a private API that is used to resolve the host application bundle ID. This causes a crash in versions of the resolve script that use Objective-C to parse the ID, and returns nil in the Swift version. Please report this to Apple and refer to our feedback FB22247647 for better reach.

A new KeyboardKit case study is up - meet Tapling! 🤩

Your job is to pick the worst possible actor to play James Bond. Go!

asc cli already has enough breadth to be more than a large App Store Connect wrapper The next some big releases will focus on making it the default way for shipping Apple apps, so you can make the cli your own by customizing it as much as possible for your needs asccli.sh

Ohh a simpler and safer continuation type!

I love the #SwiftUI Entry macro, but I would love for it to also synthesize this matching View extension, so we could remove even more boilerplate code.

Ok, agentic coding in Xcode 26.3 is pretty amazing!

The KeyboardKit website has been updated with new information about our business and enterprise license offering, which includes things like custom billing/SLA/terms, software escrow, expiration grace, etc. keyboardkit.com/pro/business...

Can we come up with a less frat boy sounding term than vibe coding?

$599 for the iPhone 17e is not converting well to Swedish krona :(

With all the things that go on in USPOL and Big Tech, I'm really hoping that the EU can catch up and start delivering good alternatives. For instance, is there a good Firebase alternative, or service for push notifications? And how about Mistral - is it any good? mistral.ai

I'm looking for a good online music mastering tool, to improve my various demos before publishing them. If you know of any good tool for this, I'd love to know.

Still 26.2...

With all the age verification bullshit that’s going on right now, to apply mass surveillance thinly veiled as protecting children, perhaps the European Parliament could once and for all denounce Chat Control?

App Store Connect CLI 0.26.1 is out! Fixes: - Age rating updates with Apple’s latest required fields - First-release localization upload fallback for “What’s New” - More consistent flag parsing github.com/rudrankriya...

I was a bit too excited to meet Damiaan and see what he had created with KeyboardKit 😅 But I was so impressed with it that I couldn't help myself - such a top-tier keyboard! #swift #swiftui

OnboardingKit 9.2 is out, with new styling options and convenience initializers for the welcome screen and its USP list items. #SwiftUI github.com/danielsaidi/...

We were super frustrated with the existing guitar tuning apps out there so we made our own! It's simple, beautiful, useful. FREE for standard tuning. No subscriptions. One-time purchase to unlock everything. Share this post, go download the app, give it 5 stars 🙌 apps.apple.com/us/app/dial-...

2025 was an amazing year, where my company's SDK license revenue increased a lot from both subscriptions and business licenses. I now also see that January was the best year so far for App Store app revenue. It still dwarves in comparison with the license revenue, but I love the trend.

I did my best to protest pure data driven development when I was at eBay Sweden 10+ years ago. But it was impossible to debate against the mellow San Diego guy who in his mild way explained that "well, that's just how we do it in the valley". The rest is data harvesting history.

tvOS 26 is broken, and changes things in fundamental ways. Here's a test app. Sheets (img 2) use to be fullscreen, but are now overlays. Text fields in sheets are blurred. Full screen modals (img 3) no longer apply a background color, which means that the background bleeds through.

Added a sponsor button for those who want to contribute to my work for Foundation Models and App Store Connect CLI github.com/sponsors/ru...

Despite using X as a platform to post about progress in various projects, every time I go there and start scrolling, I feel dirty and angry afterwards. This is the water that slowly boiled som many Twitter frogs over time, and I'm glad to now be in more mellow waters.
