Audio has always been a domain that I was deeply fascinated with. First as a music lover, then a guitar player, and finally as someone that worked in an audio startup. This project was one of the most exciting things I worked on in a while and I can't wait to make it even better. #iOS #audio

Got the green light from #Apple for the newest version of Hacksy. It got completely revamped and adapted for #iOS26 Liquid Glass. Added couple of new, useful features as well. Tomorrow I’ll have some bigger news to share, a project I am insanely proud of :) #buildinpublic #Swift #SwiftUI

Nothing stings like getting rejected after two rounds of interviews and a take home assessment. „We’d like to interview you in the future” great that you’ve given me any feedback on how I can improve so that the next time the outcome is different. I’m totally done with this shit

Now, I got back to it and did the following: Zig performs an analysis on the supplied WAV file, Swift renders the waveform on screen. Zig's amazing interoperability with C basically allows me to create a C API that Swift can then ingest. (2/2)
Small weekend project: Lately, I've been reading a bit about #systems #programming and thought "why not play around a bit with #audio and combine #Zig with #Swift?". I am a big fan of Andrew Kelley and dabbled a bit in the language last year (1/2)

I am already working on the update to Hacksy, as I noticed couple of annoying bugs (want to ship an update in the beginning of this week), but here comes the question for the 1.1 version: Should I move to #liquidglass entirely? Let me know what you think! #buildinpublic #iOS #Apple #Swift #SwiftUI

Ok, I did not expect the migration to be soo swift (no pun intended). Wrapped my UISearchController into UINavigationController and have search functionality in place. Tomorrow tackling bookmarks tab! Let's get this thing #iOS26 ready! #Apple #Swift #SwiftUI #buildinpublic #liquidglass

Also started to play around with #liquidglass in Hacksy and now I am tempted to change it 😬 Quite like it, but still, I'd have to re-work the logic quite substantially (given my initial approach). Let's see! #iOS #buildinpublic #iOS26 #Apple #SwiftUI #Swift

Ok, I can't contain it any longer! @peterfriese.dev mentioned writing about my experience migrating to Bazel and combining SPM & Firebase in my project and I thought "that's a good way to cement my knowledge." So here it goes, my first technical article! januszpxyz.github.io/software/202...

Just made bazel-modjool-gen public on my GitHub. It's very bare-bones, but I've got nothing to lose (and only lots to learn) so it'd be awesome if you checked it out and left a star 😄

Created a very small #CLI tool in #Swift for myself to generate #Google #Bazel modules in #iOS projects. The tool's name is a word play on Medjool dates 😄 Check it in action! #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareEngineer #Apple #Swiftlang #Google

Super happy that I tackled this once again and did not give up. Build systems are absolutely crazy and it made me realize how little I know about anything 😄 #SwiftUI #macOS #buildinpublic #iOS #iOS26

The biggest challenge? Adding #Firebase installed through SPM as a dependency. I gave up for a week, because I just couldn’t get it to work. But I think I now have it working, although in isolation, so keep your fingers crossed that once I put all the blocks together it’s gonna work. (3/3) #Swift
Utilizing Bazel would allow me to dramatically speed up build times, as I noticed that modularizing the app (heavily) resulted in rather long build times (5 minutes for a small app like Hacksy), and also I could work on each module in separation. (2/3)
I mentioned this on twitter, but forgot to also post it here: one of the challenges that I put for myself when building Hacksy was to build a professional-grade modular architecture, where each feature is in a separate module. On top of that I wanted to have a robust build system, like #Bazel. (1/3)
