Building apps & SDKs for the stack, using Swift & SwiftUI.
StandardActions is a #SwiftUI package with a bunch of often used actions, like save, delete, sort, etc. All actions are fully localized in 8 languages, with more languages being added by the community. The new 1.1.1 version adds a .reorder action. github.com/danielsaidi/...

I'm back at work today and started softly by adding new #SwiftUI navigation tools to PresentationKit. There's a new destination protocol and new navigation stack initializers that make it easy to navigate to custom types. github.com/danielsaidi/...

The Mortal Kombat games’ solo campaigns are insanely impressive in their ambitions, and MK1 takes it to a completely new level. Long and highly detailed movie segments with fun fight insertions. Almost movie worthy.

I’m migrating my wally.app Realm data store to Swift Data, which will make it possible to finally offer private iCloud data syncing across devices. I also hope it will make it easier to reuse data across extensions. But migrations are always a pain. 😬
FontKit 0.3 is out, with a new custom font registration function. github.com/danielsaidi/...

The US needs some proper Swedish Law of Jante. They’re not even in the final and still start with their own national anthem for the World Cup finals lmfao. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_...

Who will buy your apps and digital products when people won’t be able to afford new computers anymore? Musk and Bezos?
I just had a look at iPad prices and what the actual fuck!? Will we (or rather, our politicians) allow over-valued big tech companies to completely kill the home computer?
Disclosure Day is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I’m shocked! I can’t believe this turd is made by the one and only Steven Spielberg. But don’t take my word for it. www.reddit.com/r/scifi/comm...

SwiftUI has three similarly named grouping modifiers: geometryGroup(), compositingGroup() and drawingGroup(). If, like me, you sometimes forget which one does what, I’ve just published a guide explaining how they differ and when to use each one: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Geometr... #iOSDev #SwiftUI
Geometry, compositing and drawing groups in SwiftUI
Learn how SwiftUI's similarly named geometryGroup(), compositingGroup() and drawingGroup() modifiers affect distinct stages of animation and rendering, and when each is appropriate.

Hours planned coding while in Greece: Many. Hours actually spent on coding while in Greece: <1. Worth it. 🌞
Agreed. We’re building the internet we should have had all along over at @atmosphere.community @atproto.com
The amount of enshittification and actual damage done to digital media & entertainment by US big tech in the last 15 years needs to be studied (and preferably punished). We had it all, and they just turned everything into a new fucking cable tv network and put software patents around all innovation.
I will be spending 10 days in Greece with only my travel MacBook and macOS 27 beta. Time to explore all the new things in Swift, SwiftUI and Xcode.

Any great things to see and do on Aegina, Hydra and in Athens?

Both Claude Opus and Codex GPT 5.5 are struggling to just right align an image in HTML/CSS, and instead create insane side-effects in trying to fix it, make up false claims and fail to resolve the error. Plus they ignore instructions. I'm quite shocked at how bad they are.
Apple Maps vs Google Maps in this part of the Stockholm Archipelago - Apple is insanely more detailed.
What we’re seeing now is an absolute weaponization of tech by big tech, putting billions of made up evaluations into the pockets of their rulers and servants, making thralls of the rest of us. You know what a trillionaire can do? But all the RAM (computer food) and leave us fighting for scraps.
Seems like I saved $800 on buying my new MBP M5 Pro with 48GB RAM a month ago, compared to what it costs now 😬
Stockholm has gone from a summer vacuum to a summer smash. So many amazing new places along the waterline, pop up sauna rentals, temporary bars, kayak and canoe rentals, car free streets, etc. Great transition Stockholm Stad! 🙌🌞

I would love to automate my SDK releases even more. So far, I use GitHub Actions to generate binaries and dSYMs that I then must download and massage before uploading them to another repo. THEN I can create a new version in a third release repo.
I'm so excited over this new feature. It didn't take that long to build, but my GOD it will be a great thing to have, as the native APIs lack any kind of undo support.
KeyboardKit@keyboardkit.bsky.social · last mo.KeyboardKit 10.7 will feature a brand new undo manager, which lets you undo text insertions, deletions and autocompletes. This will be a huge improvement to the keyboard engine, and allows us to build nice features on top of it, like a back swipe to undo the last change. github.com/KeyboardKit/...
I miss the days when big tech was medium tech and changes were driven with standardization and interoperability in mind. I doubt that email would have been created today.
🆕 A small-but-mighty update, full of good stuff™ for you! 🆕 First up — perceptual (Oklab) and vibrant (Oklch) gradients. Standard RGB blending can get a little muddy, but now you can have your gradients look smoother or more punchy. 🧵 ↓
