I guess Apple will be rejecting tons of apps from the App Store thanks to their updated guidelines?!

Seems like both issues here are fixed so now I’m contemplating going back to the hard-to-discover list search. Prefer my own solution to be honest.
My two biggest annoyances with iOS 26. Taken from the Music app but apparent in my own apps too.

Found the #lfc game more entertaining without an eye on social media last night. Think I’m going to make that change and generally look at it all less.

Really like the widgets view in CarPlay but on a non-touch screen implementation it is not obvious when/how you’re interacting.
Also quite like the rounded corners introduced in the latest update. Looks great on my car’s infotainment screen and just happens to work concentrically too!

I really don't like this Siri suggested widget for when I'm away from home and it suggests how long it might take to get back. The suggestion is fine but it just feels so cramped.

Finished updating Team Sheets for its next release. Once that’s out I’m going to reduce the scope of some of the next ones I had planned so I can focus on a couple of other ideas I’ve had. Mercurion could benefit from some Apple Intelligence integrations but no idea how to integrate it yet.

As part of #WeirdWrbOctober my entry for day 5 might actually be a pretty useful tool for my own needs! I built a tool that remixes common layout patterns to help inspire initial wireframes: weird.cchana.dev/2025/remix/

No idea why the engraving wasn’t showing up on my iPhone before but it does now and it’s one of those touches that just makes a device feel so personal.

Bit of work on Mercurion tonight and have refined the list views and tidied up archives. Also validated that writing tools work when available. Also also using catalyst for cross platform compatibility because Xcode was complaining too much! #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Prototyping my next app, Mercurion, has been straight forward enough but I’m pretty sure NavigationSplitView is the cause of lots of issues for me. Trying to persevere with the layout as it does make sense for a post drafting app but I’ve had to drop the details view #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Very happy with how my new app’s icon has turned out. Once again I’m building with SwiftUI and while I’ve bit some bumps along the way I’m making good progress. #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Working on a new app, which I have a name for, and NavigationSplitView has been giving me a headache. I just don’t understand how to bring highlighting behaviour to the iPad. I thought iPadOS was a thing but not according to Xcode where it’s treated as iOS 😩
