"Even though Apple still tries by only showing SwiftUI running on the latest hardware (…) the fact is SwiftUI's performance is just not up to the standard, no matter how many times Apple has promised to improve it. It is not what I expect from a first-class framework running on a premium platform."

I really like Indigo (@anilineapps.bsky.social), but the inability to: 1. set any arbitrary feed as default 2. quickly switch between feeds is really killing me 😵

hard pill to swallow for atproto developers/creators: 99% of potential users either do not care about, value, understand, or want to “own their own data” i see so many apps/projects lead with this “value prop”, but it’s not an important or meaningful consideration for most people

I appreciate DHH's thoughts, but I disagree on where Europe's problems are, and from where I'm sitting it's not immigration. Thus I wrote a response to his post. dark.ronacher.eu/2026/7/17/li...

The last thing anyone needs is a new "platform" for microblogging. The whole point is we should be moving beyond silo'd platforms into an open social world. So my response to the launch of "W" as a competing platform to "X" is simply: "but Y, tho?" cybernews.com/tech/europe-...

macOS Tahoe threw an icon on every menu item, making them impossible to distinguish at a glance. macOS Golden Gate has rectified that design taboo with blessedly iconless menus.
