SwiftCrossUI v0.5.0 is out now, with a very basic Android backend 👀 Using the Android backend requires using the main branch of Swift Bundler (which supports compiling Swift apps to Android APKs and managing Android devices/emulators). github.com/moreSwift/sw...

Need authentication in your Swift backend? Paul Toffoloni has you covered in this new article on JWTs in Swift: swiftonserver.com/2025/jwt-kit/

WendyOS currently supports the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, and the Raspberry Pi 5. We're adding more platforms to the list too! What hardware are you most eager for? 👇

If you are using an AI assistant to contribute to Hummingbird we have a policy for that now hummingbird.codes/news/ai-policy

Very excited to have met the amazing Swift community in Japan. They are extremely curious and enthusiastic for Swift on more platforms! Between, during and after the conference talks, I've spent over 16 hours just talking with people about Swift on Android, Server and Embedded!

I will not confirm or deny anything 😬

ありがとうございます 🙇‍♂️ Thank you so much @tryswift.jp for having me! 🙇‍♂️ #tryswift

Mark July in your calendar, because Swift Rockies is coming to Calgary! I'll be giving a workshop for Swift on Embedded systems - and a talk as well ❤️ See you there! swiftrockies.com/joannis-work...

Big Hummingbird 2 improvement 🎉 We've managed to speed up your typical HTTP response by 25%, by batching writes into the network stack. This change, while small, increases the req/sec by 25%, and reduces the latency to a response by the same 25%. All that at 165K req/sec, in only ~20MB of RAM

I'm sorry if you're not yet using Swift on Server - 'cause you're missing out on an amazing community! People are super motivated, collaborative and friendly! ❤️ Couldn't wish for more.

☕️ New update to the Swift Java interop tooling, with plentiful improvements for use in both server and Android scenarios: github.com/swiftlang/sw... #java

📣 We're now on GitHub Sponsors We've been building Hummingbird to be the best Swift server framework we can. If Hummingbird has been useful to you or your team, sponsoring is one of the most direct ways to help us keep maintaining and improving it. hummingbird.codes/news/github-...

@swiftcraft.bsky.social tickets are up, and I'm giving a workshop! With the regular ticket, you'll also get to enjoy the workshop day! swiftcraft.uk/tickets?grou...

@hummingbird.codes is now on Bluesky! 👋

Hello BlueSky, this is the official account for Hummingbird the web framework for Swift. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Wendy allows you to write Swift for a variety of embedded devices. Jetson & Raspberry Pi - and even microcontrollers!

WendyOS is about to land support for barcode scanners and other input devices!

I'll be talking about all sorts of new things in Swift @tryswift.jp soon. Join me if you haven't decided yet!

Swift 6.3 features Official Android Support! 🙌 Congrats to the whole team! www.swift.org/blog/swift-6...

When you are a Swift godot user, every day is xmas! forums.swift.org/t/pitch-emsc...

I post a lot about tech that I’m skeptical about, so let me cleanse the timeline with some tech I find genuinely awesome. 1. @swift.org (Especially web servers on Linux, and WASM in the browser. Full stack!) 2. @atproto.com (Open social with open APIs? Love it.) 3. @railway.com (Chef’s kiss.)

📐Announcing Swift System Metrics 1.0! 🎉 A stable API for process-level monitoring on Linux and macOS. Add it to your service in a few lines, plug into Prometheus or OTel, and start visualizing in Grafana. Contributions welcome! www.swift.org/blog/swift-s...

🤖 Here's my Swift APK plugin! Build a Package.swift into a fully functional Android APK in one command. I've added an example to start playing with. github.com/orlandos-nl/...

Actively looking for my next role as a Senior Software Engineer Focus: iOS (Swift). Also backend (Java/Kotlin, TS, Swift). 10+ years shipping apps. Love building scalable and reliable systems 🇩🇪 German citizen (EU work auth) CV: github.com/akbashev/akb... Reposts appreciated 🙏 #Swift #iOS #Backend

🚨 solbachleads.de is looking for a Swift Server engineer! Strong expertise in PSQL & data processing required. They're based in Bonn/Coluogne area. A candidate near Bonn/Cologne, and German proficiency are a plus. Remote is possible too.

@arcticconference.bsky.social was amazing! Certainly a top-tier conference. Most notably; a very funny and energetic MC who made it all extremely memorable. I would love to go back next year; whether as speaker or attendee. It was a blast.

NL fucked up good today. I’ve never considered emigration more seriously.

🚀 Swift Rockies tickets are LIVE. This is the conference where Swift meets the physical world. I'm showing you how to take Swift beyond iOS: servers, Android, embedded devices. Your Swift skills can power anything. Don't miss it: swiftrockies.com/joannis-work...

The actual @arcticconference.bsky.social hasn’t even started yet and its already been fantastic!

Swift on the web! 🚀 Very cool demo! youtu.be/OmQ881sOTIc?... #swiftlang #swift #swiftwasm #wasm

@signalgaining just pushed a new library! TensorRT-Swift allows you to run various AI models on WendyOS or other Linux + NVIDIA machines. github.com/wendylabsinc... We're working hard on improving it further, bringing high performance AI to all Swift developers.

Hey, look; @nick and Studioworks featured in a blog post on #swift .org! I'm also still very happy with our choice of Swift for web development. https://mastodon.social/@swiftlang/115986854190607798

The past two weeks I've hit a new level with LLM-assisted coding. Found a feedback loop: define code standards -> add as Skills -> have Claude turn them into linter rules. The code quality is incredible. github.com/Joannis/clau...

MLX-Swift now works in CPU mode through SwiftPM! Here's an LLM running inside a Hummingbird app on my WendyOS device!

I'm very eager to finally announce WendyOS! Develop your first Embedded project in a few minutes, not hours or days! wendy.sh/blog/claire-...

Very excited for FOSDEM! I have a lot of cool projects and ideas to share.

📽️ Lots of fun projects being showcased on the forums recently. Here are a few recent favorites... Check out forums.swift.org/c/community-... for more!

Windows developers, you're invited! 🪟 We just launched a Windows workgroup to make Swift even better on Windows: improving the toolchain, core packages, API bridging, and deployment experiences. Curious? Interested in contributing? You're welcome here. 👉 swift.org/blog/announcing-windows-workgroup/

A reminder: Being silent doesn't make you neutral. Being silent makes you side with the aggressor.

It's insane how Adolf Trump is still going, and ramping up. I'm sorry for all who live in the fourth reich right now.

Hummingbird is getting some big upgrades soon! 🎂 Improved Authentication (OAuth, Access Control) ⚙️ Durable Workflows Support 📒 Jobs & User Dashboarding 🤖 Admin Command Line tools

WendyOS Device discovery over BLE, LAN and USB! Just a single `wendy run` away from launching Hummingbird 2 on my Raspberry pi!

Swift-WebSocket now supports HTTP and SOCKS proxies! github.com/hummingbird-...

Skip, the SwiftUI for Android stack is now open source. The post details how they are going to fund their future work: skip.dev/blog/skip-is...

Skip for Swift on Android is now opensource! Go and try it out today! skip.dev

hot take, if you want to give an OSS maintainer money, give them money. Github Sponsors exists, or you can literally ask them how/where to donate and everyone will be quite happy to share payment info.
