Tap the card. Save the contact. A business card people can actually use. No app needed for the person receiving it. #NFC #DigitalBusinessCard #BuildInPublic

To all the AI haters, I’m feeling more creative than ever! I can just quickly try out a new concept, an animation or anything else because I had it in my head. Before AI it stayed in my head and it never came to life. Now I’m about to release a firework of cool things. Stay tuned! 😎

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

Again… people blatantly stealing assets of my screenshots. The tag even show my app icon big and fat 🤨 #iosdev

When you tell Apple you are an indie dev in the form… sad to be sorted out all the time. I understand that the large companies that are slower need a nudge to adapt, but then reach out to their managers and not to the devs. I’d also like to learn first hand 😢 #apple #iphoneduo #iosdev

The things I did tonight: soldering for my garage door opener and I reverse engineered another e-ink phone case. This time Claude wrote a sniffer app for Android and holy shit it really worked. It could see the whole communication over NFC from the manufacturer’s app. 🤯 The future is now!

Electronics shop doesn’t take electronic payments 🤣 then I took out a 50€ bill to pay for 10 resistors: 26ct, his look was priceless, then we agreed on phone payment. Why!?

I can't be the only one who thinks that HomeView (with no space between the words) sounds like a SwiftUI view and not a hardware product. #swiftlang #apple #swiftui

no kings includes billionaires who think they’re kings

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

They rebuilt Spotlight from scratch and I still run into search issues. Can’t find any file, apps also not indexed 😒

Please, everyone. Don’t go back to nazi Twitter because “there is the action“. Mastodon/Bluesky is great, the network effect is what makes it work. So be part of the network! #mastodon #Bluesky #network

Before I wouldn’t instrument for minor performance issues. Now I do, because AI is so much better than me in this and Instruments is too intimidating. I could do it, yes, but the effort level would be too high. Now I can focus on the creative part! 😃 #swifui #apple #xcode #ai #instruments

Reverse engineering proprietary hardware? Claude was a blast with that. Took less than a day. He decompiled the manufactures app and now I can write better software for my phone case 😎 #iosdev #reverseengineering #nfc

This is how you find out your app clip is > 15MB in the store version. No warning, no fallback, nothing. Just this which you can’t trigger as a developer 😩 #iosdev

I built a flight tracker for my own trips and it's on the App Store now: 1st Class. Live Activities follow your flight to the gate, every flight stamps a passport, and 146 city guides work offline. Free to download, needs iOS 26. #FlightTracker #iPhone apps.apple.com/app/apple-st...

The latest release now has a much better flight experience. You are in charge of the flight state in case of no reception and slow airport or airline server. No more wrong data on live activities! apps.apple.com/app/1st-clas... #avaiation #flight #tracker #ios #apple #iphone
