I was going through my archived side projects while updating my website and it’s cool to see the UI changes for both iOS and my apps througout the years. #iosdev

I’m currently experimenting with the new iOS AI Foundation Model. Targeted weather outlooks taking into account outdoor activities and effort levels. It took some trial and error but the results are not bad. #iosdev #ios26

I installed macOS 26 on my backup M1 laptop because I wan’t to play with the new Foundation Models. Looks like the M4 will be taking a break!! 🤷‍♂️

Looks like the new foundation model lacks a sense of humor and can’t do Chuck Norris’ jokes!! I’m dissapointed!! 😂 #iosdev #ios26

Fair enough. I try to keep my SwiftUI UIs as vanilla as possible and go with the flow. This is easier in small screens but I can see it becoming an issue in macOS.

GeometryReader is meant to be a last resort in SwiftUI. The few times that I’ve asked for the screen size it felt wrong but went with it for time reasons.
