20,000 strong today. Thank you so much everyone for the confidence and support. There’s still so much to do. Our commitment is to build the best open social experiences for Europe and beyond. Always for people first.

Really nice to see some new native Mac apps being released lately. As a Bear user, I’m expecting this to be solid if you’re looking for a simple markdown editor.

The tech world has a strange inversion of values. We put so much value in tiny improvements to our simplest needs (getting a little more done a little bit faster), and yet so little in addressing our deepest needs of fulfillment, inspiration, & transformation.

Hoping this fix will be included in the next Xcode 27 beta. Right now, you're unable to build projects that depend on packages that don't explicitly declare a watchOS deployment target > 8.0. github.com/swiftlang/sw...

If I sold 1/1,000,000,000,000th of my company to someone for $1 and kept the remaining shares would that make me a paper trillionaire

the Bluesky design research team wants to talk with people who are interested in building communities. if that's you, submit this form! your voice will help shape what we build. docs.google.com/forms/d/1ej6...

”There’s something else, too: no other company puts together an event like WWDC, which connects people who, in the face of vibe-coded slop and agentic dopamine, still give a damn about software made by and for humans, like Apple still does..”

communities are coming to Bluesky this year. today, Bluesky is one big space. communities will be smaller spaces inside that where you can go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff.

Just started playing around with Xcode 27, but my favorite feature so far is that all documentation is downloaded on first launch, which means documentation search is pretty much instant now. #WWDC26

10.06.2026 – release 2 of 3 Today we’re switching on a high-reliability relay: relay1.eurosky.network The firehose of the Atmosphere, running on European infrastructure.

Nice that they made it easy to export the agent skills that ship with Xcode 27. #WWDC26 onmyway133.com/posts/how-to...

”On Apple Watch, a new unified Find My app replaces the Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People apps.” It never really made sense to me that it was split across three apps, so I’m glad that they’re making this change. #WWDC26 www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

09.06.2026 - release 1 of 3 Sovereign social infrastructure, one layer at a time. We’re now mirroring the did:plc directory - where identities live - on European infrastructure: plc.eurosky.network Decentralisation means not depending on a single directory.

”Xcode Cloud is now up to 2x faster, with new support for apps that use Metal and for visionOS builds, all powered by Apple silicon.” #WWDC26 www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

At least on the surface, it feels like if you’ve already gone through the move to Liquid Glass in your app, there aren’t really any big “must-haves” for the release this fall. #WWDC26

Pretty evident that SwiftUI is still a big priority for Apple. A lot of great additions this year. #WWDC26

No sarcasm at all. Watching the #WWDC26 Developer State of the Union is inspiring me to work on new features, and maybe new apps, independently of whether AI will help or not. It’s great how much they’re focusing on presumed first-person programming.

Definitely need to dive into the Foundation Models framework this year. With all the UI changes last year, I’ve mostly skipped over it so far. #WWDC26

I wonder if we will see first-party SwiftPM packages from the frontier labs, now that it seems possible to plug into the Foundation Models framework. #WWDC26 developer.apple.com/documentatio...

"Volume purchasing through Apple Business and Apple School Manager allows developers to offer subscriptions to enterprise and education buyers who already procure apps at scale. Seat assignments are managed seamlessly through existing device management..." #WWDC26 www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

So we will get access to Siri AI, but not on iOS and iPadOS. #WWDC26

That we still haven’t gotten access to iPhone Mirroring doesn’t exactly make me hopeful about the Siri AI release in the EU. #WWDC26

Technically really impressive, but personally, I have zero interest in using spatial reframing. #WWDC26

If this all works as advertised, I’m guessing Siri will replace a lot of usage of existing AI chat apps. #WWDC26

After last year’s releases, I really appreciate the big focus on performance and refinement. #WWDC26

The Liquid Glass refinements on macOS look great. #WWDC26

Tim’s last ”Goood morning!” #WWDC26

Note to self: don’t schedule interval runs at lunch during summer 🥵

Progress update on what we're building. There's a lot happening and we'll have big updates in the coming weeks. Your contributions are making this possible. There's more to do and all your support really helps 💙

Crossing paths

What's verification on the open social web for? With @gui.do and @emily.space we put together a draft statement and roadmap for democratic account verification. For everyone, without IDs. The draft is here, please contribute and comment. Open until 31 May tangled.org/sherif.euros...

OpenAI’s willingness to let users use their subscriptions with third-party tooling will probably attract a lot of new subscribers. zed.dev/blog/chatgpt...

I’ve been working on some accessibility adjustments, and couldn’t get the exact result I wanted using ViewThatFits, but the simple AccessibleStack in this excellent post by @useyourloaf.com did the trick. useyourloaf.com/blog/swiftui...

Lazy afternoon

They actually merged it. Bun trunk is now 🦀 1m lines of new code in one PR. That's disturbing on so many levels. *checks calendar* No, not April fools

Great that they provide guidance regarding this. I’ve been unsure about this in the past, especially since it’s inconsistent in the first-party apps.

Introducing Indigo A beautiful new app for Bluesky and Mastodon and the best way to experience both social networks together. It's tough keeping up with everyone when they're split across networks but Indigo brings them together for a seamless social experience. apps.apple.com/us/app/indigo-...

🚀Social Symbols, it’s now available as Swift Package! 🥳 It works with #SwiftUI, #UIKit and #AppKit. Free to use, it has never been easier to add your socials on your app! It’s the first release so be nice and report issues… 😘 github.com/jeremieb/soc...

Curious why they capitalize ”watchOS” on this screen. Probably just a miss, I guess.

This author bio was great. www.amazon.com/stores/autho...

A bit torn between these two. Right now I use the top one, but considering if it's worth aligning with Apple and going with something like the one in the bottom. I think I'm leaning towards keeping the current one, since Apple's style feels more destructive and less positive.

Europe needs independent social infrastructure, not just an app. This is what we're building. eurosky.tech/build/

I haven’t really explored labelers, but this one seems useful. Any others I should use?

Someone is enjoying the start of deck season.

And just like that, my new app diu is now available on the App Store 🥳 Get it here: apps.apple.com/app/id675885... #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev
