The US needs a Democrat GOP event like the Clinton Jeltsin one to end this current travesty.

Same here.

I’m sooo bummed out that Swift Connection and Swift Leeds happened at the same time this year. I think it would be amazing to have them in two connected weeks, so that you could attend one, hang out a few days, then head to the next.

Every time I work on my apps while traveling, I realize how badly I have to replace this huge Realm dependency with SwiftData. 😴

I think it will :)

Thank you 🙏 Hope we get to meet again soon!

🎉

Likewise!

I’m flying to @swiftleeds.co.uk for my talk on SDK Best Practices. I’ve been looking forward to this for so long and can’t wait to see the other talks. It’s my third year attending SwiftLeeds, such a great conference! Let me know if you’re going and want to meet up. swiftleeds.co.uk

I’m very happy with these StickerApp cuties 🤩 Come say hi and grab one if you’re at @swiftleeds.co.uk next week.

I decided to rewrite the DeckKit demo app in iOS 26 as part of bumping the library to Swift 6.1. Feels pretty nice :)

I've started bumping my various open-source #SwiftUI projects to Swift 6.1 and xOS 26. It's fun to play around with liquid glass in the various, very limited demo apps. The BadgeIcon project has a new demo app that lets you scale all the predefined icons.

I watched @peterfriese.dev live stream, as he tried to find a blog post on my website and mentioned the lack of search. The next morning, I asked ChatGPT to fix it...while I was exercising. I came home to an (almost) effortless copy paste. And now I have search. Will add to the other sites tonight.

Spatial Scenes in iOS 26 is an insanely impressive feature! I don't know if the Photo Memories widget started pushing it, but I found it by accident and it took me by surprise. THIS is the killer app of a pair of future more affordable glasses.

They have always varied in width due to the layout difference, but not in height.

Just sent a new business license agreement to a potential customer 🤩

Typing on the KeyboardKit 10 keyboard is soon much better than in 9.9. 🤯 The performance improvements have been tedious to implement, but they are absolutely worth it! I can’t wait to release this on Monday, and the new app version after @swiftleeds.co.uk
