Finally built my dream custom keyboard! Really happy with the result. The feel and sound are super satisfying!

PCB: @wooting.io 60HE+ Module
Case: Tofu60 Redux in Meteorite Gray
Keycaps: GMK MTNU Graphite
Switches: GEON Raw HE

Ported dkaraush's rotating ASCII donut GLSL shader to Metal + SwiftUI 🙃

Repo: github.com/graddotdev/S...

These buttons are also inspired by the Braun TG 60 🙃

Just open-sourced NeoShadow, a SwiftUI component for creating smooth shadows! Perfect for neumorphic interfaces.

Check it out: github.com/graddotdev/S...

Ported Figma's "Beautiful Shadows" plugin by Alex Widua to SwiftUI. Considering making this open source – would love to hear if there's interest from the SwiftUI community.

Thank you!

I've quit my job to build macOS and iOS apps full-time. Excited to build in public, share my learnings, and connect with others on this journey. Wish me luck! 🙃

Worth mentioning how smoothly @zed.dev runs on ProMotion displays. Scrolling and resizing windows are just so satisfying.

10 days since upgrading from 16" MBP (Intel, 2019) to 14" MBP (M4 Pro, 2024). Hard to express how awesome this machine is — lightweight, beautiful, powerful and truly portable. Perfect for working from the couch.

The only minor complaint I have is how dark (nearly black) the bulbs appear when they're off in the shimmering animation. This is particularly noticeable on a white background. @simonbs.dev, any chance you can add an option for this?

The festivitas.app by @simonbs.dev is awesome!

I've completed day 25 of #AdventOfTypeScript.

Merry Christmas!

I've completed the main part of day 24 of #AdventOfTypeScript but decided not to finish it since it focuses more on reverse engineering rather than type system knowledge. I've attached that part of the solution for anyone who's interested.

Day 23 of #AdventOfTypescript required me to look at HotScript's repo to solve the task. Really like this approach. Definitely learned something new today.

Yesterday was busy, so I brute-forced Day 22 of #AdventOfTypeScript. It wasn't hard, just a lot of coding, and I don't want to do that today.

I've completed day 21 of #AdventOfTypeScript. Last year's tasks were much harder. I miss those days 😔

Your template string differs from mine. In my solution you can replace `string` with `"var" | "let" | "const"` and it will work fine.

What do you mean? I just replaced `"let" | "const" | "var"` with `string`. There is no need to overcomplicate it.

However, using an accumulator is more efficient.

I've completed day 20 of #AdventOfTypeScript.
Same task, same solution. Déjà vu.

I've completed day 19 of #AdventOfTypeScript.

Thank you. I used @figma.com to create it.

Yeah, it's sort of a brute force solution.

I've completed day 18 of #AdventOfTypeScript. Easy one if you know about `NoInfer`.

@trash.supplies, will solutions like this be penalized and excluded from the leaderboard?

I also found a new way to bypass the test cases. 🙃

I've completed day 17 of #AdventOfTypeScript. It took me some time to realize that `x[0]` is not working with the `string` type.

Here's the fixed solution, as the previous one was not working correctly. Thanks to @andarist.bsky.social for pointing out the problem.

They need to write better tests instead. Check yesterday's brute-force solution. It doesn't have any `any` 😂
