iOS 26.4 made the keyboard noticeably better. Swipe typing finally feels good again. It was broken 🫯 enough to avoid before🫪, and now it’s back in business! 🧑‍🩰

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Does anyone have a sora2 invite code to share? 🙏

At this point in time the only benchmark that I trust will truly measure how close we are to AGI is this: youtu.be/3T4OwBp6d90...

F*ck xcode and coreaudiod on macOS26 beta. 🤬😵‍💫

Claude Code strikes again 🥹🥹🥹 😱😱 Just deleted 3.4Million records on it’s own although I explicitly said not to.

Oh no!!! 😱😱😱 To be honest I had such a stupid password that not even claude thought it was an actual real password lol.

Raylib is so freakin fun! 🤩 150k particles while keeping 100+fps. Recording messes things up a bit but omg this was fun to play around with.

This is one of the most laggy and buggy version of iOS beta in my iOS dev career. DO NOT UPDATE TO #iOS26 beta. Even typing is laggy. Lockscreen is like 5fps. Phone gets super hot 🔥

Oh boy 🥲 #iOS26 #WWDC

How AI thinks (it doesn’t) 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wzO...

It’s 2025. Programmers are being replaced by AI. Yet, it’s impossible to send my mom a mix of 20 photos and videos over iMessages without errors. 🤯 I hope AI will fix all this BS. And hopefully it’ll make Xcode great again. #MXGA

Apple smart ring confirmed? 😱 #apple

It ain’t much but it’s honest work. ☺️

The EU enforcing USB-C but glancing over this protocol mess… smh

Using sizeThatFitsLayout to preview only the #SwiftUI view such as text, button, custom views.

I'm having a "do I even know Swift?" moment. I understand that #swiftlang generics are invariant, i.e. F<Dog> is not a subtype of F<Animal>, even though Dog is a subtype of Animal. But some stdlib generic types like Optional and Array do track subtyping (see pic), while others, like Result, don't.

Just discovered that this framework exists on iOS—had no idea it was even available to developers! www.finnvoorhees.com/words/banned... #iosdev

How did SwiftUI’s ScrollView only get this API in iOS 18!? 🤯 #SwiftUI #iOS18 It’s essential in knowing when the scrollview is moving, stopped, etc. developer.apple.com/documentatio...

New sandisk logo 🤔

And when it all works: “I’m a frickin’ genius!!!” youtube.com/shorts/64TNG...

“nose sniffing powdered sugar” 🤪 #genmoji (found on threads)

Lol, it's almost always chatgpt now

Follow all the iOS devs! 😍 Here’s a ton of starter packs #swiftLang bsky.app/profile/rudr... bsky.app/profile/timo... bsky.app/profile/sett... go.bsky.app/L23yEQ5 bsky.app/profile/deep... go.bsky.app/66G7TY4 go.bsky.app/M8xLgeS

What are #swift indie devs using for crash reporting these days? I’d like to avoid adding Firebase to my app, but right now it’s the only one I know and it works really well

Duolingo is killing it lately with their gamification. This new “local” leaderboard is genius. Their animations are also top notch. The only problem is that people (including myself) feel that they don’t really learn. It’s just the sensation of learning. “Micro-learning” 🤣with nano-results.

Appstore Proceeds: Welp… it aint’ much, but it’s honest work 🤠. I’m working on a bunch of things that hopefully will bring more value to users. #indiedev #indieios

Check out your BlueSky receipt at bskypt.vercel.app/ Also, how the heck did I earn so many likes, lol?

Thinking of doing (a bit of) https://adventofcode.com this year. Last year I did it in Go. The year before that in Bash. I was thinking of finally learning a bit of Rust this year. Zig, Elixir or Lua also seem appealing. 🤔 What language are you guys using?

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

Super excited to try Apple’s Translation.framework API. I’m thinking of using it as “localization on the fly” since I have a ton of text content in my app. I was expecting a bit of a broader range of languages though (given all the new “AI” features) https://youtu.be/MuIFhbHNmqA?si=V_ZBZW26n97KnEUt

Say hello 👋 & join this list if you’re an Apple platforms dev

Love this Xcode feature that I just recently found about. So if you hold CMD while hovering the minimap you'll get this list of symbols that you can quickly jump to. Super useful!

It ain’t much but it’s honest work #duolingo

Ask ChatGPT this fun prompt: “Based on what you know about me, draw me a picture of what you think my current life looks like” Here’s my result (actually pretty dang good). Share yours below 👇, I’m curious.

I created an App Founders Starter Pack for aspiring app creators! 🚀 Let me know if you’d like to join! 😊 And please repost and share it with your friends 🙏 #indiedev #appfounder go.bsky.app/JRW7ucZ

Here’s a pitch with some ideas to simplify concurrency in #Swift, check it out! We’re looking for feedback 🙏 https://forums.swift.org/t/prospective-vision-improving-the-approachability-of-data-race-safety/76183

I’m going to create an Apple Consultant’s Starter Pack on BlueSky. I need a few of your handles to start. Reply to this post with your handle.

I've started putting together a Starter Pack with folks from around the Swift / iOS community. If you see someone who's missing, tag them here, and I will add them. go.bsky.app/L23yEQ5

I just found out about this app that can unify mastodon/threads/bluesky. It merges feeds & lets you cross post. Let’s see how it works 😄 https://apps.apple.com/ro/app/openvibe-mastodon-bluesky/id1666230916

Just 30 lines of #Swift code to call a Llama 2 Code model deployed on Amazon #Sagemaker jumpstart. What you are going to build with a #LLM ? #ios #macos

🚀 Hey #Bluesky community! I'm an #iOSDev passionate programmer, I love #Swift and #SwiftUI. During the day I work for eBay, but i’m Indie by night! Looking to connect with fellow developers regardless of technology: swift/ios, go, rust, web dev, cloud, etc. Let's connect and share knowledge! 💻✨
