Only a few people will notice, but those who notice will appreciate this little detail. All sites built with AppView use real iOS-style squircles for rounded corners. This is a brand new feature on the web and caused me a bit of headache to implement it right but I just couldn't pass by 😊

Started recently to use // MARK:s in long files way more, makes the navigation through the ⌘+minimap or ^+6 way faster ⚡️

First time having such a bad time with App Store review. Not only it takes almost a week at this point but the rejection reason is borderline incompetent 🤕

Had to write this very sad comment today 🥺 M1 is holding for dear life

I spent an unreasonable amount of time tweaking the blurry space between navbar and the browser's UI so it looks natural and not distracting. Built with appview dot dev.

Everyone knows about this easter egg, right?

One nice benefit of having a side-project outside 9-5, you can do things just because why not. appview.dev

Do you use Hot Corners in macOS? Here is my setup. Would be great to have Shortcuts and third-party apps there, but I think Apple forgot that this feature exists 😔

The most useless and annoying screen in all of iOS 🤕

Starting a new cycle of updates for my app Ripples with a brand new website 🌊 And there is a little twist in the footer:)

Small tip to take cleaner screenshots in Xcode Simulator

If you need an email for your business on a custom domain and you’re already paying for iCloud+, it includes up to 5 custom email domains. Setup is super simple and a bit of money saved ✨

It's wild how big the price difference is for a dedicated server vs managed VPS with comparable hardware.

Developers, be honest, would you be able to code this?:)

Prioritizing sleep this month after wrecking it for the past year. Definitely feel a positive mood change during the day, and thinking seems a bit sharper as well. Quit coffee a couple months ago, shifted all side-projects work to the morning. Now it’s just reading and winding down in the evening.

3 mac apps I GLADLY paid for this month 🤑

A few thoughts on organizing code in iOS apps 🧵

As expected, October is all in red🔻 after the iOS 26 hype died down. Plus, I haven't shipped a major update this month, working on that ⛏️

Really recommend yesterday's session from Apple about improving performance of SwiftUI app and Foundation Models 👍 www.youtube.com/live/yXAQTIK...

hot take, Apple should rename Finder on Mac into Files to match iOS 🎤

Always exciting to see static mockups come to life ✨

Iterating on a couple of screen designs for my upcoming fasting app

iOS 26 made corners more rounded. One subtle side-effect of this is that content next to the corners started to feel "hanging" as there is more empty space now, which looks unbalanced. I'm offsetting all rounded containers by a few pixels to fix it ✨

Any recommendations for books/courses on Apple’s Metal and shaders in general? Preferably something that leans more into visual effects instead pure theory and GPU compute. 🙏🏻

These "error" messages from @revenuecat.com SDK are a bit obnoxious... First time using their product, have to say, for an iOS-only app, developer experience is pretty underwhelming compared to StoreKit 2. For cross-platform, it probably makes sense though.

Late-night coding session 🌒 In the middle of migrating my custom data layer to SwiftData 🍀

Reworked the UI for boards re-ordering. Now it doesn't conflict with a long-press gesture on the "Check in" button. "Waiting for review"...

I thought the liquid glass background in iOS 26 toolbars was mandatory, but turns out you can disable it and still have a completely custom view. #SwiftUI

This is the new App Store Connect UI Apple announced at WWDC this year. Hope they roll it out soon 🤞

I'll be sharing monthly reports on how my little app business is doing. Here are the numbers for September 2025. Everything is looking up because of the iOS 26 hype, this definitely won't be a recurring theme 😢 Let me know if you'd like to see some other stats.

Only now I realized you can specify supported accessibility features so they show up on the app store page. Need to work more on this aspect of the app, there are a lot more of these badges.

One week in, 40% of people who use Ripples are already on iOS 26

I'm a bit stuck, 1, 2 or 3? 🙏

Going to try new screenshots with the #iOS26 release. A bit more color and dynamic graphics. Curious to see the conversion 🤞

Getting ready for Monday 🔮 #ios26 #liquidglass

The new Simulator icon, I'm surprised Vision Pro is so prominent:) #macos26

Subtle interaction tweaks for #iOS26 and #liquidglass

5000 legends! 💪

New Checker release is in review ✨ Besides some important internal improvements, I’ve added a new shortcut to get status of a board for today which also can be used as scripting input 🛠️

Rebuilding line-by-line text transition for the onboarding using modern APIs (iOS 18+). Full code below if you're interested 👇

This onboarding animation took some unreasonable amount of math, I think it's the first time in my programming career I had to use `atan2()` 😅

Taking onboarding way more seriously this time, with multiple flows depending on the user's answers. Will take a few things back to Checker as well. #iosdev #buildinpublic

A bit more refinement and Icon Composer treatment 🔮

Trying to make an icon that would look at home in iOS 26. For now, happy with this one ✨ #buildinpublic #design #ios26

This is a very good read borretti.me/article/note...

No one probably noticed, but I'm low-key proud of this small detail on the waitlist page:) *how the iphone bezel changes color while the glow spreads

Happy to open waitlist for my new app ✨ It's feature-complete, but still needs some final polishing. If you'd like to try it out (and get a promo code at launch:) feel free to check the website 👇 🧵

The app slowly gains all the must-have features for the release. Today is about notifications, so many edge cases to handle with user permissions 🫠 #buildinpublic
