THE @joshdholtz.com is on the stage and @deepdishswift.com is officially underway! 🍕

On my way to Chicago for @deepdishswift.com ✈️

Hope to see some of you there!

New Launched! 🚀

This week I talked to the great @frederik.riedel.wtf about his crazy journey building one sec.

We talk large scale academic research, patents, and turning a small indie project into a capital B business.

:sad-trombone: 😢

Maybe I’ll get lucky in a later round 🤞 Either way I’ll be in Cupertino all week for all the side-events to hang out with y’all. Hope to see you there!

Once you have a taste it's so frustrating to lose it. I often have it for my shorter domestic flight and then have to get on a long haul trans-pacific/atlantic flight and it's so sad, haha

Starlink on United has broken my brain where now I'm sitting in the terminal working and can't wait to get on the plane for a better internet connection 😄

Is the new liquid glass way to really just make every app look exactly the same unless there's big, pretty, photo content inside?

Surely there's a way to do this so I can quickly recognize my app's window in Mission Control but keep the app feeling at home in the new world?

I could tint the glass sidebar which looks... ok? But it's still too chunky unless I ignore the stoplights but, ew. The whole things feels really fragile when I start trying to customize anything

Like hiding the dismiss toolbar button causes the old window radius to pop up 😅

I'd love to do a strong color bar like I've mocked up here, but SwiftUI & Tahoe get super cranky if you start trying to draw in the toolbar or sidebar area.

And the sidebar gets uncomfortably chonky to account for the new stoplights with extra padding

I need your ideas

Been building a little Mac app (for myself but increasingly maybe for release) and the design is very native-standard on purpose

The lack of strong color drives me nuts but I can't figure out how to add it while maintaining the liquid glass design ethos 🤔

Does Spotlight constantly break for everyone else?

I feel like every week or so I have to force a re-index or it refuses to show me apps anymore for inexplicable reasons.

Aww thanks! ☺️

New Launched! 🚀

Super excited to have @avanderlee.com on the show. @rocketsim.app has been a permanent fixture of my app development since almost the beginning of my time doing iOS development.

Super cool to dig into the story behind it and Antoine's writing at SwiftLee

WWDC26 Join the worldwide developer community online for a week of technology, creativity, and community.

WWDC dates are up!

I'll be there ticket or not. Been really happy with the development of community side-events, it's really easy now to fill the week with hanging out with fellow Apple developer nerds 😄

Project Hail Mary was fantastic. One of the all time great adaptations. Gosling, as usual, is ludicrously good

New app review banger: Decrease your churn with this one weird trick…

Curing cancer will be neat and all, but what I’m really excited for AI to enable is announcers in sports games actually commenting coherently on the game that’s playing out instead of repeating the same 10 phrases for every goal

This episode was so much fun! Adrian is one of my favorite people. Happy to get to share his story and creative energy with you all 😁

New Framous TestFlight! 🚨

This bad boy includes _very_ beta versions of:
• New iOS app 📱
• Video framing support 🎥
• Saved defaults for frame color 🎨
• Recording indicator masking 🔴

I have no limit for now so get while the getting's good 😁

Paywalls team is on a tear. Every time I tried to record this a new feature would pop out and I'd have to sneak it into the script 😅

And there are even more (some big 👀) coming very soon!

My favorite thing about working with a highly distributed, international team is watching all your meetings shift around randomly depending on who created them as Daylight Savings slowly rolls through the world 🤪

I’m sorry, I don’t understand?

I got a mostly working full version of Framous running on the phone now 👀

Even all the new video with custom tap/swipe indicators I just created for the Mac works pretty well here! 😯

Didn’t occur to me that the new design would be a new higher end SKU instead of just the new MBP

RIP my wallet I guess…

Yeah maybe a little bit, though a little more tricky UX-wise. Custom timing curve would definitely be nice.

Ultimate a full blown keyframe editor would be the right thing to handle all the different scenarios but then I start losing the advantages of this vs just doing it in AE, haha.

Extremely excited about this: Added the ability to quickly add tap and swipe indicators over your screencaptures!

As someone who's manually built these in AE many times, this is going to be soooo nice

Added a super simple way to kill the red recording indicator dot in the dynamic island!

And if it's in a different place than normal (because a live activity or something) you can easily move it.

Framous... now with video

coming soon

GPT-5.4 was finally able to pull off a thing I've been trying to do in Framous for a while but none of my other attempts with other models were ever able to get it right (and I never dedicated the time to do it myself 😅)

New TestFlight coming soon 👀
