#WWDC delivers exactly what it promises: world-class sessions and direct access to the people behind the platform. What makes it special, though, is the community, the conversations, and the inspiration you take home. You leave wanting to build better things. ❤️🌈

Big congrats to the Bikemap team! 🎉 We’re App of the Day on the App Store. We’re rethinking every screen, map & feature this year—making everything more accessible while modernizing our UI with Liquid Glass. Lots more coming soon 💙

Dafür starben ca. 200.000 russische Soldaten.

Just lost an hour of writing because Pages didn't auto save and crashed on me. Noticed how this used to be a very common thing while I working, happening multiple times a week. Now, I can't even remember when this last happened, must be years. We've come a long way.

Es steht schlecht um den Journalismus in Österreich. Sparzwänge und Konkurrenz von diversen Plattformen bringen kritischen Journalismus und eine gemeinsame Faktenbasis in Gefahr. Kobuk hält dagegen 👇

Cocoaheads Austria at N26 was a blast. With talks about Testing by Nicholas and a lightning talk by Janusz on build systems to inspire discussions, we had a great evening and lived up to our motto: Curious minds, good talks, better pizza. 😄 Thanks all for coming, and thanks N26 for having us.
