Magizh is here. ✨
Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s “If this isn't nice, what is?"
A quiet space to notice life’s happy moments. Capture joy, reflect gently, and keep it all close.

iOS vs. macOS UserDefaults Tip:
iOS Simulator: Deleting the app also deletes its UserDefaults.
macOS (e.g., Status Bar Apps): To delete UserDefaults, run this in Terminal: defaults delete your.app.bundle.id

Built a floatable clock & timer macOS app using AlexSidebar in Xcode!
As a developer in 2024, the hardest decision isn’t what to build but which AI tool to use!
AlexSidebar, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Cursor… the options are endless!
I really love this design, so neat and cool
On the bright side, using AlexSidebar and referring to the Observation documentation, it correctly suggested the @Observable macro! This kind of contextual awareness is 🔥
Adding to this—GitHub Copilot in Xcode also hasn’t caught up! It still suggests @ObservedObject instead of the new @Observable macro
Xcode Predictive Completion is cool, but it’s still lagging behind! It suggests @ObservedObject instead of the new @Observable macro.
No I haven't, I will do 👍
That said, I ran into a few issues:
• Scrolling slows down as the conversation gets longer. So I close and reopen again and start a new conversation.
• The AlexSidebar window sometimes disappears when applying changes.
• Even after creating a new file, it would still show and update the old one.
It looks promising so far. Here’s what I liked:
• Applying changes is straightforward, and only the relevant updates are made.
• The error-fixing display is quite helpful.
• It can generate code for the latest APIs by referencing Apple documentation.
Hi 👋 Peter, Would you mind adding me to this list.
Thank you.
This talk from iOS Conference Singapore by jordi.bsky.social is my favourite. It’s insightful and packed with practical takeaways.
