lēof-spell, n.n: a pleasant message. (LAY-off-SPELL / ˈleːɔf-ˌspɛl) The US/Canada paperback DEORHORD is out today! (The UK edition is already out in the rest of the world.) See where to get it here: buff.ly/l4Lbsip #OldEnglish #WOTD #TheDeorhord @princetonupress.bsky.social

And if you aren't in the US/Canada, you'll be happy to know you can ALREADY buy the paperback Deorhord from @profilebooks.bsky.social or wherever nerdy wordy books are sold. profilebooks.com/work/the-deo...

Sign (if you're in the UK) and spread (people outside the UK too) please please! This isn't just some change dot org stuff, if they get enough signatures MPs are legally forced to discuss it in Parliament.

Playing around with liquid glass on custom shapes. This is regular glass with a 10% pink tint. You need a background for the glass effect to work. The highlight effect seems to be using a Capsule shape and not the provided shape so it looks a bit weird. #SwiftUI #iOSDev #WWDC #WWDC25

As the designer/developer of the Old English Wordhord, I often ask myself "What would medieval England do?" Stained liquid glass. #iOSDev #WWDC #WWDC25

A Wordhord bug was actually a Wordpress bug! If you use the Wordpress REST API you might want to know that sticky posts are being returned in API requests even when they don't match the query. Bug here: core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63307... Wordhord app post about bug: bsky.app/profile/oewo...

This was a hard one. But we, as developers for Apple platforms and as humans, have a responsibility to respond. www.massicotte.org/leverage

I'm extremely proud of how Pediapal came out, and it's such a personal milestone of mine to ship an indie app. I'm excited for folks to use it, and I'm excited to continue to grow it. It all started as a way to help me with my family, so it is my earnest wish that it will help you with yours.

Swift concurrency error in XCode 16.2 beta 3. The onPreferenceChange closure is now Sendable which means (unless I'm missing something) we can no longer modify main actor properties. I hope this closure can instead use @.MainActor because otherwise this is going to cause some big problems. #SwiftUI
