Huge thanks to @craiggrannell.bsky.social from TapSmart for featuring CatchUp - Keep in Touch in their "7 apps for keeping in touch and friendship tracking" article 🤩 www.tapsmart.com/features/cat...

My apps (CatchUp, Outrank, and Hot Local Food) have all been updated with support for iOS 26 and Liquid Glass! I think they look much better with the new design. Download links in the thread 👇

After last year’s drought, the gods have once again blessed us with...... THE BATTLE OF THE COLOR-BASED WATER PHENOMENA 🌀🌊

Introducing Swift Configuration, a new way to share and manage configuration for Swift. It's a smarter way to keep secrets safe and separate develop/test/prod environments. More here: forums.swift.org/t/introducin...

This article by @jono.id goes extremely hard and I could not agree more www.jonoalderson.com/conjecture/j...

Need me a shirt with this @swift.org bird on it. Official Swift merch store when??

It was inevitable: ryantoken.com is now built with @swift.org via Ignite 🔥 Swift for the web is real, and Ignite by @twostraws.bsky.social made it beautiful. I've never been happier with my site. I wrote about Ignite and my experience with the rewrite: www.ryantoken.com/blog/swift-e...

Avenged Sevenfold's live cover of Pantera's Mouth for War remains one of my favorite covers of all time www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9Ci...

Life is good today: • Wake up early • Work from Winter Park • Camping all weekend with friends 🏕️⛰️🐶🎣

Finally had some time to watch a few WWDC sessions on this year’s updates to Swift Concurrency. The changes all look SO nice. Can’t wait to implement them. “Embracing Swift Concurrency” was particularly great 🤝

MEGA bummer that when you lose access to a private GitHub repo, your commits on those repos are removed from your contribution graph My graph looks like a barren wasteland now😩

Yes, the vibes are off at Apple. But I’ve never been more enthusiastic about writing Swift. Can’t wait to see what WWDC brings. #SwiftEverywhere #WWDC25

Ahem... 🆕

Finally got to implement something with the Swift OpenAPI Generator, and it is so incredibly nice Best part: none of the generated code needs to be committed since it runs at build time

Paul Hudson (@twostraws.bsky.social) has taught me most of what I know about Swift & iOS dev VERY fun to hear him & @mikaelacaron.com talk about my fun lil Swift on Lambda project to flash my Hue bulbs on the latest episode of Swift over Coffee 🙌 Check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I have once again bought a new domain name 👀

Re-reading the @amazon.dynamodb.me book by @alexdebrie.bsky.social, and I think this is the primary reason why I keep coming back to Dynamo You HAVE to be thoughtful & intentional when designing your data model. That fact alone improves so much about building apps & pays huge dividends over time

I have never felt a stronger urge to go full-stack Swift. The tooling is either already there or very close. Time to manufacture some side project and really dig in

🚀 Join us for Swift Server Side Meetup #04 – April 28th, 2025! 💡 Infrastructure as Swift by Andrew Barba + Serverless Swift with Hummingbird & DynamoDB by Natan Rolnik 🕙 10am PT / 18h London / 19h Paris 🔗 www.youtube.com/watc...#04 #SwiftLang #SwiftOnServer

Stage Manager on Mac + multiple desktops is actually so nice. Most focused work environment I've ever used

I have finally seen the light on the View -> ViewModel -> Repository -> Data architecture pattern. Thank you @cocoatype.com - great stuff here: pado.name/blog/2025/02...

TIL you can put spacers in the macOS dock 🤯

I tried this today, and now the app I work on professionally has 2,047 fewer lines of code. Feels good!

I don't know why, but I have become basically allergic to reading blog posts/long-form content from my Mac If I see something I want to read, I save it to a reading list somewhere and pick it up on my iPad later 🤷‍♂️

Just completed the annual maintenance ritual for my personal website: * Svelte 4 -> Svelte 5 * Tailwind 3 -> Tailwind 4 * Vite 5 -> Vite 6 Down to 0 browser/console warnings and things are a bit snappier. Check it out at www.ryantoken.com Thanks for the inspiration @atp.fm!

After living in the strict, strongly-typed, & safe world of @swift.org, dipping back into the bizarro world of JavaScript feels like the wild west How does anything work? How do you validate anything? I can't believe I worked like this for years. Swift & TypeScript forever

I am not joking. You better be wearing full TU gear today. Show it to me

Ski weekend 2025 ✅⛷️

Swift itself picked up my blog post. I am in awe 🤩

When the lights flash, it's a win! @ryantoken.com starts the week off with a great article on serverless Swift -- connecting his smart light bulbs to a backend running in AWS Lambda: www.ryantoken.com/blog/serverl...

New blog post! I built an event-driven serverless back end entirely in Swift that remotely flashes the Philips Hue bulbs in my house whenever Tulsa or the Eagles score or win Loved getting back into some technical writing. Check it out here: www.ryantoken.com/blog/serverl...

This is my magnum opus

Swift’s new Observation framework certainly lives up to the hype Migrating away from the Observable Object protocol was simple and the performance improvements were immediately obvious with almost no other changes to the app Psyched to adopt this across the board

This #Xcode 16 feature is probably one of my favorite ones: pasting content directly into a new file without creating it first. Just copy the content, select the preferred directory, and paste it from the clipboard. That's it. #iOSDev

macOS really thinks highly of itself, huh

Some people have friends, I mostly vibe with other dudes named Ryan

“It’s pretty simple, I win. Google me”

Recently rediscovered the Universal Control feature to move back & forth between Mac and iPad It blew my mind when it was first announced 2 years ago, and it still blows my mind today. So good

Current social media environment: - Bluesky: sports - Mastodon: tech - X: steaming pile of garbage with ads
