On iOS 26 we have a new `close` button role in SwiftUI to dismiss a view without losing the user's progress, unlike a cancel action. A convenient way to add a dismiss button for modals without the need to define a custom button label!

Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.
In SwiftUI, the popover() modifier shows a popover on iPad but turns into a sheet on iPhone by default. To prefer popover presentation even in compact size classes, we can apply presentationCompactAdaptation(_:) inside the popover's content: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Popover...

the reason why bluesky (relatively) succeeded in the Twitter exodus, and mastodon did not, has nothing to do with decentralization protocols & everything to do with the fact that posting on one of them looked & felt like posting on Twitter and posting on the other looked & felt like posting on phpBB
