Do iOS is already over, and I had such a good time there. Meeting new folks, and catching up with already known people. I really enjoyed talking there.
Thank you so much for having me on stage, and big up to @appforce1.net and the organizing team for putting the conference together!

This should be toggled on by default. It's reversed by default and it's terrible. #ios26

Built a random DnD character builder in a matter of minutes with the incredible FoundationModels framework. There are titbits and catch, but the DX is amazing. Can't wait to see what apps will use this framework for offline AI workflows 🤩 #WWDC #LLM

I got a lot of weird reviews since I started doing apps, but accusing Padlok stalking people is … new? 🤣
A one star review saying: Seems likely me it’d be a great app except stalkers use it download it remote and track you. Going to police station this is not ok.
