Today, we've updated Linear Mobile with an all-new design that looks great on iOS 26, and thanks to the powerful APIs #SwiftUI has been adding over the past few years, we're bringing it to iOS 18 with zero compromise. Get the update here: apps.apple.com/app/linear-m...

Is there any mobile-exclusive game worth playing anymore (let alone one with meaningful narrative)? Did we really peak at Where's My Water?

Can you not disable AirPods remotely when they are stolen?

About to try this liquid glass thing I heard so much about

Exciting Linear.app update coming to iOS 18 soon 👀

Is there anyone running iOS developer experience surveys a long the lines of "How big is your team at work"?

Considering a small mirrorless and have plenty of existing Fuji glass – whatever the smallest current gen exchangeable lens body is seems like a no brainer or should I go Ricoh?

Dusk City #shader www.shadertoy.com/view/wXySDV I made a city shader with people in the buildings!

I'm working on a post on how to implement the iCloud Sign In animation in #SwiftUI – coming soon to patreon.com/swiftui_snippets

In Super Mario 64, getting burned while twirling preserves Mario's angular momentum. The next time he starts flying as Wing Mario, the preserved momentum from the twirl suddenly returns and spins Mario around.

Hell froze over, I made a macOS app! github.com/robb/FolderI... Use it to generate custom folder icons that match the ones found on macOS Sequoia.

If you're trying to like, *really* center Text in #SwiftUI, use a TextRenderer to disable subpixel quantization:

This app is even uglier now that I know a Tapbots one is coming.

Who called it Kokain auf der Bundestagstoilette and not Diet Coke?

New avatar transition should be complete ✅

Today, I'm releasing AtRandom – a #SwiftUI property wrapper that adds stable randomness to your views! Use it to spice up animations, transitions, and UI elements—without the hassle of @State. Also supports custom seeding for consistency! 📌 github.com/robb/AtRandom/

Pro tip from an Ex-Googler: When you join a new company, change the linter rules for a couple kLOC of artificial impact.

I've published a new #SwiftUI Package to automatically visualize touches during Screen Recording, Screen Mirroring and when using the iOS Simulator: github.com/robb/visuali...

Happy to announce that today is my first day at Linear, where I'll be working on the Linear Mobile app with @gavin.social, @jorilallo.com and many other fine people 💫

If you create a 9-slice from a rounded rectangle you created on iOS, you need to take into account that the distance from the corner to the first axis-aligned control point is about 152.866% of the radius. I found this value through some empirical computer science in a quick #SwiftUI preview.

Huge news: following a decades-long public campaign, the International Recommended Maximum Line Length for Programming has been increased from 80 characters to 120 characters

I consider this a successful upgrade to the empty data state of a subsection of a subsection of my app. All twelve people who will ever notice this will surely appreciate the time that went into it. #BuildInPublic

Frustratingly a job I was really excited about has fallen through at the last minute due to a lawyer screwing up. So, I'm still looking for a new role. I'd really love to find something in the music industry, but open to anything!

What idiot called it SwiftUI rather than Springs and Structs?

As a bit of personal news, I will be leaving the SwiftUI team at the end of the month. My departure definitely came sooner than I expected but I'm excited to share what's next, stay tuned.

These Zelda games are getting out of hand

In classic horror tradition, @qntm.org writes about forbidden grimoires that corrupt every mind foolish enough to touch them. Books that ought to be banished to the vaults beneath the plateau of Leng qntm.org/clean

Hey a thing I made is top on hackewnews

I shit you not, the single best thing anyone has ever done for my health was a friend writing me a Shortcut which homes me out of apps unless I've drunk enough water at that point in the day (as evaluated via my Health logging, which I do via Water Llama).💧

Using #SwiftUI’s UIGestureRecognizerRepresentable and Anchor Preferences, you can build a ButtonStyle that is triggered by a long-press in a parent view in addition to regular taps. This enables building custom menus like this that allow triggering an action with a single long press.

Best gamepad clamp thingy for iPhone 16 Pro?

is that literally one of the ones Alex Schaefer painted?!

Coming Feb. 5–6 to Apple Developer Center Cupertino and on livestream, Bring SwiftUI to your app! We’ll focus on how your expertise in imperative user interface frameworks like UIKit and AppKit can help you get comfortable with SwiftUI’s declarative approach.

Catching up on The Bear and I see the appeal: they managed to cast someone who looks equal parts like the guy and the rat from Ratatouille.

Work-in-Progress #SwiftUI glitch effect featuring chroma subsampling; random offsets for lines, blocks and pixels; chromatic abberation in YCbCr as well as RGB channel shuffling.

AirPods Pro 3 better cancel the noise in my head of my own chips eating.

Last minute reminder that if you work for a decently sized corporation, there's a fair chance they'll match your charitable donations by filling out a simple online form, don't let that go to waste.

2025, what do I ditch 1Password for? (I use Firefox on the Mac)

My ability to program mostly impresses people who have seen me handle knives.

Merry Christmas! 🎄 We have a special gift to Super !Boring supporters… a new skin, Bricks! I had a lot of fun with this one. I don't know the first thing I ever built, but I’m pretty certain it was built with these little colorful toy bricks. 🎁 → notboring.software/weather Cheers!

Coming on Feb. 5–6, at Apple Developer Center Cupertino and on-line, Bring SwiftUI to your app! Join me and my colleagues as we share details of SwiftUI specifically targeted for experienced UIKit and AppKit developers!

Trying Bun for a simple preact page and wish Swift had a jsx equivalent.

This cool visualization of atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa by @robbieandrew.bsky.social will be very messy when we reach net zero, but fortunately we don't have to worry about that anytime soon. robbieandrew.github.io/ppm/

What's the best third party live activity and where can I see a video of it?
