Hello, I’m back after a seven month hiatus.

Learn more about how the team behind Things, an award-winning personal task manager, rewrote their backend in Swift with a threefold reduction in compute costs: www.swift.org/blog/how-swi... @vapor.codes

I think indie dev is the future. I have never felt so insecure working for a corporation nowadays. It feels like we could get laid off anytime.

Safe to say todays highlight is Big Gabi telling Haaland to pick up his boot #arsenal @poorlydrawnarsenal.com

Zoom transition with #SwiftUI is simple, elegant and fun #MagicTheGathering

Silo finale into Severance season 2 What a week #AppleTvPlus is criminally underrated.

After 4 months on and off development. I have finally concluded one of the core flow in my Magic the Gathering wiki app. Here we route from a list of magic card booster sets, to set details to card details. Built in #SwiftUI and TCA by @pointfree.co #BuildInPublic

It’s kinda amazing to see tiktok refugee learning Chinese and embracing red note culture and vice versa. I don’t mind tiktok getting sacrificed to achieve world peace 😂

It’s been many years since the beginning of #SwiftUI. Do we have a .preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins equivalent yet? I still can’t find an obvious way to align my content to system components such as search bars and navigation buttons.

One of the key takeaways when working on a SwiftUI app is the importance of using Instruments. Today, I learned that initializing models inside a ForEach can be costly, even if the individual operation seems minimal. #SwiftUI #buildInPublic

Guys. There is no shame in wrapping UICollectionView for #SwiftUI Chasing 120fps performance with lazygrid is not worth it

So we have HMPV after Covid. Bruh I can’t survive another recession and lockdown

Sheesh Tottenham might actually get relegated

This UI is so hideous that it achieved its purpose of getting my attention, ironically. #UI

All I wish for today is a good 8 hours of sleep, full recharged into 2025.

Manchester United might actually get relegated Wow #manutd

RIP Jimmy Carter

I will never understand the business value of Meta AI. I would imagine the search results are better backed by AI instead of a ChatGPT within a social media app.

what a wonderful Boxing Day as a gooner #EPL #COYG

Lol Maddison #spurs

I can imagine there are 3 different Instagram product managers chiming in on how they can maximise their feature exposure in 1 screen. Imagine navigating this UI through voice accessibility and you get: “Comment button, comment text field, send button, like button, send button” #ui #ux

Animation is broken inside a lazy stack within a ScrollView on iOS 16.2. But fine on iOS 16.1. The insecurity working with #SwiftUI is that you can’t really test this, and there is nothing much you can do about it.

biggest turnoff with #swiftui

transaction over animation #SwiftUI

First world problem with #SwiftUI

Swift macro is a curse in disguise

Completion > perfection

SwiftUI is happy when everything is fixed size with no sub pixel rendering.

This scrolling experience is a step backward for Apple’s pursuit of a perfect starting point.

My first impression with image playground on iOS 18.2 1. Splendid work with the launch 2. Much AI 3. Much smooth /s

To every large corporation that reaches ATH but still lays off employees.

Should I stop chasing perfect #SwiftUI performance by fine-tuning every little detail I could? And just pray Apple could fix it miraculously one day? Things like slight stuttering in LazyVStack are driving me crazy, but there is nothing much I could do about it.

✨Shimmers✨ #swiftui #swiftlang

Gonna start taking LoL seriously www.theverge.com/2024/12/5/24... #LoL

From pure Swift development to now needing to build a backend service, to needing to create my own website. Being indie really forced myself to go full stack. The only risk as indie is that my app might fail and I have to start over. But whatever I have learnt will always have value. #swift

Nowadays, Facebook just copies everyone.

I am disgusted, but this seems to be the only way to render SVG remotely in pure SwiftUI and Swift. Dependencies 1. SVGView to render SVG with Data - github.com/exyte/SVGView 2. Nuke to download and cache SVG - github.com/kean/Nuke 3. A mixture of imperative code just to tint the SVG.

the #balenciaga app on Vision Pro is so good

Just finished Civil War on HBO Max and it’s like a premonition #hbo

Got a free replacement for my Peak Design tote bag after 4 years due to a faulty enclosure. Good customer support is a hallmark of success. Can’t recommend PD bagpacks more.

Inspired by my previous experience at Amex, I’m quite satisfied with this structure for my own project. Each feature module has its own entry point to run as app, and also has its on test suites. Codegen using @tuist.dev #swiftlang

#AppleTv is so underrated

Day♾️ looking for a #SwiftUI library to display SVG remotely.

New MacBook honeymoon phase

#SwiftUI Table is prolly the weirdest component I have ever worked with. 🧐

As we continue expanding server features to enhance tools for the Apple ecosystem, we believe open and fair pricing is essential to keeping Tuist accessible to everyone. You can explore our pricing philosophy here. tuist.dev/blog/2024/11...

Political aside, it’s nice to see the Bird iOS app “improved” its awful feed scrolling experience. It was jittering for the past few months. Kudos to all devs who actually care.

☕️good stuff

The love for retro tech is real in Gen Z. Interesting to see them being curious and wanting to know more about iPods, CRT monitors, cassettes, etc.

One of my favorite features in SwiftUI is the ability to pin views inside a lazy stack view. For a stack view displaying only static data, implementing this in SwiftUI is super simple and elegant. #swiftui #swiftlang #magicthegathering
