Anyone here testing « bitchat » from Dorsey. If so let me know your channel hash and I will teleport myself. I’m user @mrtnd if you see me pop up. apps.apple.com/ca/app/bitch...

Jump starting the brain 🧠 for a few minutes this morning.

It is 100% more fun coding AI than using AI for coding #notepadexe

Has anyone created an AI agent that can provide the next winning numbers in the Lotto Max lottery (🇨🇦). Please get in touch…

The article echoes what I’ve seen and heard from peers: AI makes it easy to produce slick but shallow work that looks plausible on the surface, yet riddled with errors or bad assumptions underneath. Your coworkers end up having to fix or redo it. It’s workslop, and it’s spreading fast.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Search looks easy until you remove all the layers between local search & server search and the unification of the results. #oceanapp #search

All good things come in threes! 3️⃣🎉 Version 3 of License Plate Wiki is now available and comes with Liquid Glass, Statistics (finally) and 12 (!) new countries! #BuildInPublic #iOS26

Foodnoms for iOS 26 is here! 🎉 Featuring a new smarter label scanner, custom Insights dashboard, and a fresh design that fully adopts Liquid Glass. Perhaps our biggest update yet! Learn more in the announcement blog post: foodnoms.com/blog/ios-26-...

I'm proud of all my Swift friends working hard this summer updating their apps for tomorrow's release! ✨ I hope the launch day goes well and your hard work pays off 🥂

Meet Croissant 2.0! @vegh.ca and I put a lot of work in over the summer to rethink much of how Croissant is structured, added a bunch of great features, and sprinkled in a little Liquid Glass for good measure apps.apple.com/ie/app/croissa...

Reminded again about this project of mine. Haven't ever tried looking for contributors before, but I dunno, maybe it could be fun! Anyone feel like working on an open source multi-service social app with me? Warning: It's very rough, weird, and I'm bad at SwiftUI. github.com/mattmassicot...

Let's gooooo ✨

“The iPhone 17 lineup — with its Air, standard, Pro, and Pro Max variants — is Apple doing what it does best: polishing a form factor that has plateaued.” — Om Malik about the iPhone event.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Found the CSpan video of Cook saying thank you (too many times) to Trump here : www.c-span.org/program/whit... Timemark: 10:00 Not sure what to think of this……

OpenAI just told investors it now expects to spend $115B before breaking even by 2029, up from $35B. The jump comes from soaring AI training costs and competition for AI talent. $20B will be set aside for stock-based compensation alone this decade. Welcome to the AI talent wars.

Looks like the App Review team workload has increased significantly with the upcoming iOS 26 release. Beta TestFlight approval has been pending for a long time now. Are you experiencing unusual lengthy delays?

“Anthropic raises $13B Series F at $183B valuation” And now tell me there is no bubble.

Please, we’re so close.

Trying to balance my frustrations with iOS 26 with the fact that I'm excited to ship this update to Croissant that @vegh.ca and I have been working on all summer 🥐

I'm orgainizing Claude Code Anonymous - Berlin Edition! September 10 luma.com/home?e=evt-V...

Super excited to announce our first speaker! Matt Massicotte will be telling us how to approach approachable concurrency!

Look how they massacred my boy...

A thing I've been doing recently is "on-call consulting". When a Swift Concurrency thing comes up, I'm just there to help. Diving deep, design ideas, quick fix, whatever. It's lightweight, cost effective, and feels so productive/educational. Maybe your team could be into this too?

🔲 Four Corners was rewritten in Swift—it's the first Swift game in Catalog. Read our interview with the developer to find out how that came about: news.play.date/news/four-co...

I find product demo videos with the creators face in a PIP circle to be passé.

The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

It’s time to head up to the pine trees 🌲.

iOS devs: what do you use to track a funnel from App Store page view right the way through to onboarding steps and onto in app subscription purchase? Right now I’m using GA for tracking onboarding steps, RevenueCat for purchases and then just eyeballing App Store analytics for page views. #iosdev

Concurrency is still a challenge for many, making Approachable Concurrency very welcome. To discover how and why it can improve your way to Swift 6, we’re honored to host one of the true authorities on the topic, @mattie.bsky.social ! 👉 https://swiftconnection.io

I really like how @nunch.app is coming along with the new iOS 26 liquid glass design. I'm still making changes every day and probably will until it ships 🤪

Apple TV+ Price across time 📈

Google, sorry, but that Pixel event was a cringefest

Vibe coding.

I love this new function to bring focus within my calendar.

this is where Stubb was sitting when Trump couldn't see him btw

Nice Friday surprise: My app got featured on appgefahren again! 🤩 www.appgefahren.de/kennzeichen-...

☕️ Alyx for iOS 26 Test Flight ☕️ A brand new caffeine tracking app built entirely around app intents. Liquid glass-first design. Interactive snippets! Foundation models! If you're press looking for an #iOS26 centric app, please DM or reach out! I'd love for you to try it.

This is an #appreciationPost for the latest Ocean icon created by @yanlu.chat Love that it's not another variation of a coloured envelope. Too bad the MacOS will not be used because of the new squircle requirements. Thanks a bunch Yannick. Superb...

That was unexpected but I’m really excited about this coverage. 🚀🚀

Philips head screw is an industrial design failure. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Isn't that the best way to close off the week and sail into the sunset? 🙃

At a tech level, I know that LLM work on tokens so they will never be good at this kind of questions unless pre-trained. At a human level, this never stops being funny as a response to all the hype cool aid drinkers.

Who remembers or tried Cappuccino for web dev? I still love the website fabric background. Wish this was still supported. www.cappuccino.dev

38M! 🎉

still relevant this morning

Found this on Mastodon. Had to repost it here. This is superbly done. Check it out and it works in mobile browsers also. 🤯. paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-...

Just TWO MORE DAYS until timeflies.buzz is here! See you on 7/31!
