Hello, I’m back after a seven month hiatus.

Saving 150$ on these feels like a pay raise

A diagram that shows the various components of the Things backend built in Swift, including Vapor, SwiftNIO, AWS, Redis and Kubernetes.

Learn more about how the team behind Things, an award-winning personal task manager, rewrote their backend in Swift with a threefold reduction in compute costs: www.swift.org/blog/how-swi... @vapor.codes

I think indie dev is the future. I have never felt so insecure working for a corporation nowadays. It feels like we could get laid off anytime.

Does IAP works via altstore?

Safe to say todays highlight is Big Gabi telling Haaland to pick up his boot #arsenal

Zoom transition with #SwiftUI is simple, elegant and fun

Silo finale into Severance season 2

What a week

#AppleTvPlus is criminally underrated.

After 4 months on and off development. I have finally concluded one of the core flow in my Magic the Gathering wiki app.

Here we route from a list of magic card booster sets, to set details to card details.

Built in #SwiftUI and TCA by @pointfree.co

It’s kinda amazing to see tiktok refugee learning Chinese and embracing red note culture and vice versa.

I don’t mind tiktok getting sacrificed to achieve world peace 😂

You can see stress in a hash function if it’s too complex.

I usually use a UUID as the id, and it works fine.

Other factors include the number of subviews, custom drawing, and images that affect performance.

We need a recycle view; it’s production proven.

I have noticed a boost if my item identifier hash is lightweight.

For example, comparing using index as ID, a short unique string as ID, or an entire complex hashable struct as ID, the simpler your item identifier, the better it is performance wise.

This can be observed via profiling.

Did you train your own model and use CoreML + Vision to scan board game?

It’s been many years since the beginning of #SwiftUI.

Do we have a .preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins equivalent yet? I still can’t find an obvious way to align my content to system components such as search bars and navigation buttons.

One of the key takeaways when working on a SwiftUI app is the importance of using Instruments.

Today, I learned that initializing models inside a ForEach can be costly, even if the individual operation seems minimal.

By default, table view scrolls at 120fps on a promotion-enabled device.

And to me, stable FPS is more important. A decade-old iPhone X could scroll through a collection of photos without stuttering, but we couldn’t achieve the same with the latest tech is unacceptable.

Guys.
There is no shame in wrapping UICollectionView for #SwiftUI

Chasing 120fps performance with lazygrid is not worth it

So we have HMPV after Covid. Bruh I can’t survive another recession and lockdown

Sheesh Tottenham might actually get relegated

This UI is so hideous that it achieved its purpose of getting my attention, ironically.

All I wish for today is a good 8 hours of sleep, full recharged into 2025.

Manchester United might actually get relegated

Wow #manutd

I will never understand the business value of Meta AI.

I would imagine the search results are better backed by AI instead of a ChatGPT within a social media app.

Why?

what a wonderful Boxing Day as a gooner

I can imagine there are 3 different Instagram product managers chiming in on how they can maximise their feature exposure in 1 screen.

Imagine navigating this UI through voice accessibility and you get:

“Comment button, comment text field, send button, like button, send button”
