Will Bishop

This is probably overkill but I love it so much:

Every time I push to Github, an action runs which:

1. Connects to my tailnet
2. SSHes into my Mac mini
3. Runs xcodebuild and runs all my tests
4. Outputs the success/failure to Github

Made an account for @pestlechef.bsky.social

Gonna post some updates there, so you should give it a follow :)

Diving into a very old commit

I recently redid a lot of Pestle's scaling code, now I want to at least refresh myself on the converting code (I wrote it over 3 years ago)

Solved this but will leave it up for anyone else facing the problem in the future.

The solution is that your second intent (B in my case) also needs to declare ShowsSnippetView in the return signature.

Question for AppIntent people:

I have an intent A, that when invoked returns a String and a View.

I have an intent B, which just invokes A.

When A is invoked, I get the view on screen.

When B is invoked, I get only the string from A, not the View as well.

Is this expected?

it's not even 11am and ive already had to reach for git bisect

I'm running an A/B test right now of a rather subtle paywall copy tweak, and the results are very surprising.

This is off the back of a previous paywall experiment which increased conversions by 39%

Which represents a 119% improvement in 30 days... if I've done that maths right

iOS people, how would you interpret these results from an A/B test:

🔻Initial conversion rate down 16%
🔻Trials started down 16%
🟢 Trial conversion rate up 26.4%
🟢 Revenue up 5.83%

I guess all that matters is revenue, but those initial conversion rates worry me

Yeah it doesn’t really apply for me. I don’t use strings files or storyboards.

I ended up just making the 4000 modifications across my project for all strings

So how are Xcode String Catalogs supposed to work?

Because it's supposed to just extracts strings from your code, but it misses heaps and I don't fancy finding every single case across hundreds of files where something *might* be missed.

Is there a trick to making this work?

One of those lovely days

It is such a privilege to see people buying Pestle for their loved ones this Christmas.

A little app I made for myself being given as a gift!

typedef NS_ENUM :(

I love Swift enums so much, no other language comes close to them

Recommend me song like Because the Night pls

First time flying with the nano texture display and it is so nice

The nano texture display is so lovely

I put this code snippet in all of my projects.

Sorting an array with a KeyPath is a handy way to write concise code to sort arrays, so instead of a.sorted(by: {a.count < b.count}), you can write a.sorted(by: \.count)

I don't mean to brag... but today I tempered chocolate and for the first time... it actually worked

To all the developers who took part, thank you so much for agreeing to give up 2 days of revenue for an idea I had many years ago, but only this year made a reality.

I can’t wait to do it again next year, and I hope to smash this record!

I had hoped to raise maybe a grand or two, I had no idea it would be so successful and raise so much money for some truly incredibly causes.

I discovered so many new charities that I’ll be giving to in the future

Indie Charity Weekend surpassed my wildest expectations!

I’m so happy to share that in just 2 days, 30 developers came together to raise:

$31,200

THIRTY ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, developers and customers alike.
