Clutch Engineering is now an official corporate sponsor of the OpenStreetMap Foundation 🎉

2026 is going to be a huge year for Sidecar. Looking forward to advancing the state of the art in open mapping technologies and communities ❤️

New CarPlay widget inbound: "will I make it?" 😁

Keeping track of fire containment in CarPlay with Sidecar.

Getting consistent temperature preferences on iOS: jeffverkoeyen.com/blog/2024/11...

New Sidecar release is live in the App Store 😁

Localization is fun!

Back in my day we didn’t even know when an optional was being unwrapped and we got along just fine! *waves cane at the yard* 😂

Ah hah! Found at least one workaround: if you put the @State adjacent to the NavigationSplitView it seems to work ok.

Dealing with a fun crasher using the new TextSelection API in SwiftUI 🤔

Filed a Feedback already, but this is quite the mystery so far. Happens any time you try to modify past the end of the TextEditor. I'm suspecting some kind of an off-by-one error but haven't found a workaround yet.

The new CAN Studio + OBDb workflow for iterating on vehicle parameter identification.

In this case we're seeing if the IONIQ 6 pids work on the Kona EV (tl;dr: not perfectly, but with a bit more tuning they might!)

CAN Studio now supports workspaces and selection-based decoding 🥳

3D mode - still lots of work ahead 😜

sidecar.clutch.engineering/scanning/ now includes scanner prices for India 🎉

Bluesky for iOS dev content + technical articles, threads for feature development and product announcements?

Yes/no?

Tbh it’s a gamble, and the odds are not super in your favor. You’ll frequently run into edge cases where it’s apparent macOS hasn’t gotten as much attention as the other platforms.

That being said, it’s still worth it as a starting point. You’ll get something working way faster.

This was a super fun symbol to draw! Jeep Wrangler 4xe landing in the next Sidecar release 😁

CAN Decoder is now connected to the OBDb! This makes CAN analysis significantly more efficient and is going to help a ton with Sidecar vehicle onboarding 😁

Working on improving my CAN Decoder mac app today 😁 Finally got tired of working with .sql exports directly, so the plan is to make it easier to import data and also play with make/model signalsets.

Just finished a mini-marathon design session! That was a blast.

Added four more vehicle symbols to the Sidecar crew including the Jeep Wrangler, Audi A4, Chevy Cruze, and Lexus IS 300 😁

CarPlay functionality coming together nicely 😁

lol that feeling when I go to register my username on Bluesky and it’s taken, only to realize it’s me.

Hi. I’m the problem. It’s me.
