For 19 months my own site said "Beta coming soon to iOS." 😬 SkyDeck had been on the App Store since March 2025. I was building instead of telling anyone 😅 Fixed that 👉 getskydeck.app/bsky #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

The SkyDeck website has been rebuilt from the ground up ✨ New design in light and dark, real screenshots from the app, a page for everything it does, and a press kit if you ever want to write about it. Take a look 👉 getskydeck.app/bsky #Bluesky #bskyapps #blueskytools

My most-used emoji on Bluesky, across all 141 posts I've ever written, is 🚀. Which is either on brand or a cry for help. SkyDeck now shows it for any profile: the top ten, the counts, the share. Open one led by a rose and the whole screen turns red. https://apple.co/4bRq4H0

You see the problems in your spec. Your agent doesn't. Remark closes the gap: comment on any line of Markdown, and your coding agent reads each note, fixes it, and marks it done. Claude, Codex, or your own. Native macOS. getremark.app

Remark on macOS: hovering a highlighted phrase in a Markdown spec pops up an inline comment card right at the text. Colour-coded highlights (green, amber, purple) mark commented passages, all listed in the sidebar.

I'm wondering how we’re supposed to support the design split between iOS 18 and iOS 26. If I just update my UI, it will also change the look & feel on iOS 18. Especially with custom implementations, I see a lot of extra work coming with `if #available(iOS 26.0, *)`. #WWDC25

in xcode 26, newly created projects have their default actor isolation set to MainActor, which means all types declared in the project will implicitly have `MainActor` added. it seems there should be an option to add this choice when creating the project.

SwiftData Bug Fixed! The issue where modifications to ModelActor in a private context were not immediately reflected in the view has been fixed. Additionally, this issue has been resolved for SwiftData applications compiled with Xcode 26 on iOS 18.
