How @communitykit.social showcased the best of WWDC 2026 without going to Apple Park. darylbaxter.com/posts/commun...

Next up: Chapter Three. #CommunityKit 2027

Back home now and I'm buzzing from this week. In truth, I've been jaded with Apple for a while due to multiple reasons - iMore's toxic final year, the company's AI efforts, etc etc. But this week at CommunityKit was incredible. It's also given me plenty of ideas for @dbspringboard.bsky.social.
