@danielsaidi.bsky.social I just used your blog post about debouncing search queries. Thank you for writing it! danielsaidi.com/blog/2025/01...

It appears App Store Connect is having a bad time. The world will have to wait for my latest update.

Trapped inside by snow and cat. Send help.

TIL you cannot animate an SF Symbol if it's inside a ToolBar. I found a video showing how it can be done if you do some wizardry using UIViewRepresentable. But no thanks. Sorry animations.

We’re hiring an iOS engineer at Tibber! Come work on an almost fully SwiftUI project, for a good cause (pushing renewable energy), with awesome colleagues (including me 😁) and a considerate work/life balance in focus. EU based. jobs.tibber.com/jobs/6879561... #swift #swiftui #hiring

I live in the suburbs of the Twin Cities. There is a family that lives across the street from me. The husband is a pharmacist, the wife is a doctor. They have 4 kids. They are Somali. They are fantastic neighbors.

Historical data from Foursquare doesn't include show street address, just lat/long. A query to their API solves this via a lookup. For this prototype I'm only processing the first 20 entries (I have over 6000) because I haven't worked out rate-limiting yet to stay under their 50/second.

You need to register as a developer with Foursquare, but once you do this is all you need to get enough location data about a place to get lost for days. Requests are rate-limited to 50/sec, but that's significantly faster than MKReverseGeocoder lookups which as far as I can tell are 50/minute.

All I want for Christmas is dark mode on App Store Connect.

Adding an Enum migration to a Vapor project is a wild ride.

@danijelavrzan.com Perhaps you're already aware, but your blog post Indie, Alone, and Figuring it Out got high praises in the latest iOS Dev Weekly by @daveverwer.com. "If you’re thinking about making the leap, Danijela’s post should be required reading before you take the plunge." I very much agree

A passenger gave us a little packet of Ducks to Give…in case we were fresh out.

Unfortunately that did not work (for me) but running the simulator and/or SwiftUI Previews with the older iOS20.0.1 did fix the issue.

Xcode users. If your Mac is getting unusually warm running Xcode 26.1 (17B55) and macOS 26.1 check the Console for MercuryPosterExtension.ips files filling the crash reports. In ActivityMonitor, "ReportCrash" will be burning up your CPUs. It's related to SwiftUI Previews. FB20986632

I love this classic asteroid shooter because I can play it for 20 minutes or 4 minutes. The game fits into my time.

Got emails about scheduled maintenance on my Redis client starting then completing and now my app is broken. 🫩 How’s your Saturday?

Really getting a lot of work done but now I have to go to my other work at the JOB.

When in Detroit be sure to have their pizza.

@malinsundberg.com @kaidombrowski.com somehow I missed that you officially launched Polaris. I was just starting to get nervous there hadn’t been any beta updates in a while but then noticed it’s on the store! I have a complaint about your pricing though, $10/year is too cheap. 😉

@natpanferova.bsky.social I wanted to say thank you for the nice walkthrough on how to implement push notifications in a SwiftUI App. It was very clearly written and I didn't have any issues! Now I just need to get the code working on my Vapor server. nilcoalescing.com/blog/RemoteP...

While I was mostly sitting on my ass this week for @serversideswift.info, and enjoying every minute of it, my wife has been prepping to run her 50th marathon. She came up with the idea 10 years ago and will complete her goal today. @mycrzyprspctv.bsky.social

Leaving London. Airports in the US should adopt this boarding announcement policy from LHR. The frequency and volume of announcements in US airports is ludicrous.

Day three of @serversideswift.info is in full swing and I have a lot of notes for tools, toys and tricks I need to play with. @soficodes.bsky.social @mikaelacaron.com

Under-wing lunch at @serversideswift.info

The workshop day of the @serversideswift.info is a wrap. I learned a lot, learned that there is much more I do not know, but I know tomorrow will be a great official first day of the conference.

Hot take. Hyde Park might be more beautiful than Central Park. I don’t think anyone slayed a dragon in Central Park.

Ok it’s official. I’m on my way to London for @serversideswift.info. See you all on Wednesday for the workshop if not sooner!

Took me about three days to get camera functionality working in my app. This is the first one that's actually worked without crashing the whole thing. It's for sale as an NFT for $10,000 (not really). Also why do we still need to use UIViewRepresentable for SwiftUI Camera support in iOS26? (really)

I just spent some of my advertising budget for this release on a conference ticket (and hotel), but YOLO.

Registered for the @serversideswift.info Beginner workshop. Even though I've now set up 3 different servers using Vapor I still feel like a beginner. See you in London soon! www.serversideswift.info

So Apple's own Icon Composer app exports the icons with an alpha channel or am I holding it wrong?

Just a man, downloading Xcode 26 on hotel wifi, asking it to love me.

@noupside.bsky.social I'm a little over 50 pages into your Invisible Rulers book and just wanted to let you know I'm really enjoying it and am learning a lot!

Tap a pin on the map to save it to your wishlist. In this case it’s my own pin, but you get the point. Rate my design. 😬

Oops I did it again.

I like to order pizzas that are also salads.

I enjoyed this latest post from @aprilwensel.com. While I don't actually work in tech, there is a hardness and general lack of empathy from the people in my field which I'm finding increasingly difficult to deal with. compassionatecoding.com/campaigns/vi...

I’m implementing a sliding window rate limiter on posts/replies. Right now I’ve set it at 2 posts per 10 seconds. Is that too tight, does the average user need to reply or post more frequently than that?

There’s the VPN cat and mouse. But if you stymie the small operators because they don’t have the infrastructure, then larger operators (X,FB,etc) can still operate and they control the narrative. At least that’s what I see in this.

I’ve been listening to the podcasts by @rabble.nz and most recently downloaded the book Invisible Rules by @noupside.bsky.social. Best I can tell, if ever I should succeed at a location-based social network, I will also eventually fail. But I can at least educate myself from those who have done it.

We're super excited to welcome Daniel Steinberg back to the conference as this year's MC! Get your tickets now

Coffee shop coding day. Brought my test iPhoneSE to work on replies within my app.

I grew up on these streets.

I’ve been working on what I’m calling “spoofing likes” on my app. When you like a post here, maybe even this one, what you’re seeing is a facade that you most likely “liked” it. The UI isn’t getting updated with the round-trip from the server and back. There’s too much of a lag.

11,000 steps and an Alcatraz tour later it’s time to get back to work with some Joe & the Juice.
