Released a new version of Jelito!

Added in over 300 symptoms to report. Provisional working to add in exclusion lists (so you can hide symptoms that don’t relate or trigger you). Added in the ability to hide triggering headings.

And Apple gives yo a cool video too!

I’ve built a Quick Look extension for #macOS that lets you peek inside folders and archives instantly. It’s out today on the Mac App Store. Go get it — it’s free. apps.apple.com/app/id675311...

is there a sheet modifier i’m not aware of or an init that prevents the dismiss? i know you can do post dismiss, but just interactive swipe? #swiftui #swift

am i holding it wrong? SwiftUI hierarchical shapes for .quartenary and .quinary are exactly the same?

i’m trying to mimic it with opacity so i can use them in a LinearGradient but then in my mapping the last two are the same?

after three days. pdf pagination using ImageRender with dynamic row heights. probably the most janky and sticky taped thing i’ve put together but it works. haven’t stress tested it but it works #buildinpublic

@openvibe.social any reason authentication just expires randomly? like i’ll be logged in, then next time it just needs to be set up again?

building a minimal replica code app to debug if the issue you have is in your real app or not. then to find out it’s not reproducible so you have to start tearing your real app apart 🙃

upgraded to 500/50 for cheaper than what my old 100/20 plan was. being able to stream 4k, download an IPSW, and Xcode simulator without any noticeable dip - wild. AU is so behind but this is so nice

right now AI feels like what 90s kids felt like when tape/CDs were being phased out for digital. this is the 2010s kids being one of the last who will have known pre-AI world. and like who we talk about analogue they’ll talk about unassisted working

Finally figured out how to get app icons to change in #iOS26. You need to have the new IconComposer .icon and the assets AppIconSet named the same.

okay not a new macOS 26 item, but general macOS tip - Hot Corners. but if you, like me aren’t a fan of just popping the cursor in a corner and it triggering then - and prepare to be blown away - can hold gown a modifier to make it necessary to trigger 🤯

Dynamic Island is now reflecting on a List in iOS26 Liquid Glass :(

for those playing around with Icon Composer - when you need to add variations to some of the items (the + button) you only get the mode type for the active one in the canvas. so dark only when viewing dark icon, mono when in mono view. same for ios vs watchos

niche question: but where do others keep their image editables - inside the project of Xcode project or one level up next to the xcodeproj file? what about website? curious who uses the Sites, Photos folders in macOS or is all in Developer or external drive #indiedev been thinking of organisation…

does anyone know how to get Option + open file in #Xcode 26 to use another editor than opening a tab? i like tabs but side by side for wider screens is something I really used. couldn’t find it in preferences since they changed it

Cool new Xcode 26 feature is to insert the comment for the if/else/endif #wwdc25 #xcode
June 12, 2025 at 4:33 AM
does anyone know someone on the Apple Design Team? it would be great if the SFSymbols app could notify you that the path is not closed and thats the reason why it looks weird in the export / usage FB15731272 #wwdc25

oh i wish with LLMs getting better on on device, it would be cool if we can text recognise on images, then if it has a muted word in social media it could use that too
