I accidentally started building a new app this week 😅

I’m starting to like this 😊 big redesign coming for NowPlaying!

I'm really honoured that @strasser.bsky.social gave me one of his Apple Design Award winner pins to thank me for helping him with the Art of Fauna.

So proud of him for winning it this year and can't wait to see what he'll come up with next. He's a true inspiration to me!

#WWDC25

Just submitted the next version for @getskydeck.app 🤞

And all with @helm-app.bsky.social on iOS ☺️

🚢 Helm is now available on iOS! Manage your app updates and testers from anywhere—right from your phone.

It also includes Helm Passport, a fun new way to collect new beta users and connect with fellow developers

Hey! Not that I know of but also don't have any experience with bundles yet tbf

Custom tooltip is being cut off by the sidebar

Does anyone know if I can make this SwiftUI view appear on top of the sidebar? (Yes, I've already changed the zIndex)

Or do I really have to make it align on the left when the button is close to the sidebar 😅

This was a fun one. Last week, we chatted with @hiddevdploeg.bsky.social about his path into design, learning app development, and sponsoring soccer clubs(?) ⚽️
