Beeeeep. KerCHUNK

Tired: doom scrolling freesound.org to find the right mechanical sound for your game project

Apple’s on-device LLM when asked for an SF Symbol: chaos.
Apple’s on-device LLM when asked for one emoji: extremely competent.

Been working on my own take on iOS 26’s swipe actions, it’s satisfying getting these little interactions working!

SwiftUI only provides the .swipeActions modifier on List views (which I’m not using).

Spatial scenes on iOS 26 are super impressive in general and have been near perfect in my experience. Great fun on a lock screen!

So I was curious to see how it would interpret a full frame photo of a painting. Valiant attempt but not great 😅

Started a new little trailer for Substage ever since adding Homebrew support, since I don't think I've done a good job of just how much it can do now! (markdown, epubs, PDF manipulation, animated gifs and more).

Uuuuh coulda given us credit at least 🙄🙄🙄
