A simple app i've been working on to make video selfies better. I hope that you find it useful! Apple Log is enabled in Test Flight builds, and I would appreciate feedback on how it's working, since it'll be some time before I get a test device that supports it. #apps #iphone

Vloggie

Vloggie helps you record better vlogs with the rear iPhone camera: grip the screen freely while recording, start hands-free with face detection, and stay in frame with haptic guidance.

I wish that #Xcode Cloud had a setting to build using the version of xcode that triggered the build. So that I don't forget to update the pinned Xcode version, and boom problems that didn't happen locally happen in the shipped builds.

🚀 1.12.0 is out - Now your flashcards can contain LaTeX equations (Advanced Learner). And many other things since we last posted here: 1. Annotate screenshots on Mac to study them 2. Hide or annotate irregular areas of images 3. Study maps and mind palace pics with emoji pins and arrows #studytips

This NSContentProtocol to load images from anywhere is such great architecture. Basically a server that renders anything you want by URL… …except when you want accessibility labels for images. Because there's no way to make them survive jpeg/png serialization🤦🏻‍♂️

TipKit is a nice coordination framework with bad default views (popoverTip that don't show, quirky inline view behavior). Today's workaround for popoverTip: gist.github.com/juanarzola/0... feeling like treating it more as a TipKitCore at this point and just making a custom TipKitViews module

popoverTip doesn't work on images in toolbars in iOS 26. This is a workaround.

🆕 New Home Screen List Widget: view cards available to study in your favorite lists, start studies and create cards in them. They match your color theme choice of the app as well. Alongside the Today widget, they are great to create a little study dashboard in your Home Screen. #studytips #iosapps

developing macOS widgets is a special kind of torture: no SwiftUI previews, and to see updates: clean derived data, logout, re-login. The preview tool cannot preview widgets in reduced luminance mode.
