Over the past few weeks, I was experimenting with tab bar designs and got so much great feedback from friends. Turns out, the standard iOS tab bar is great! With a single tap, users can now switch between the current weather, their saved locations, and maps. #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/4

A red "Extreme Heat" warning badge sits in the middle of the screen. The hourly forecast below shows clear to partly cloudy skies cooling from 26 to 24 degrees toward midnight.

🚀 I just released Listening Post v2026.2 with good news for AirPods havers and Bluetooth headphones listeners. (That was a big change/fix, phew.) Plus it brings some QoL enhancements. A solid update, that! - Website: actions.work/listening-post - Release notes: forum.actions.work/t/listening-...

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Bluesky, is in fact, For You/Bluesky, or as I've recently taken to calling it, For You plus Bluesky. Bluesky is not a social media site unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning recommendation algorith-

"Is there anything more pathetic than trying to use bsky.app without For You feed?" About to start getting obnoxiously Stallman-esque and correcting everyone that the correct name is "ForYou/BlueSky".

Many cities across Europe set new heat records this weekend. I used the time to add a new climate section to Oscar that puts the current day into historical context by comparing it to the same date going back to 1940! The visualization is heavily inspired by Ed Hawkins’ Warming Stripes.

Climate detail view in the Oscar Weather app showing that 28 June is the warmest since 1940. A warming stripes chart visualizes historical temperatures for this calendar day from 1940 to today. Below, statistics include today’s high of 38°C, the 1961–1990 normal of 21°C, a warming trend of +0.7°C per decade, historical warmest and coldest values, the previous heat record, and the number of years reaching at least 30°C.Oscar Weather app showing the Environment section with pollen and air quality gauges, followed by a Climate card. The Climate card states “The warmest 28 June since 1940,” displays warming stripes from 1940 to today, and summarizes today’s temperature anomaly, the long-term normal, and the previous record.

By tapping on the daily forecast, you can now explore different ensemble forecast from ECMWF, DWD, and NOAA. Oscar computes upper and lower bands across all members (= models runs) and an ensemble average. This visualizes different potential outcomes and a models certainty.
