Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 05/02/2026When you work with LLMs, you can also take a different approach towards dependencies. Instead of seeing them as fixed, you can actually just completely integrate them and take ownership. chris.eidhof.nl/post/integra...chris.eidhof.nlIntegrating Dependencies into LLM-Assisted Projects — Chris Eidhof 010
Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 03/02/2026I'm focusing on learning more about LLMs this month (not just using them, actually understanding how to work with them more intently). Today, I built my own little assistant: chris.eidhof.nl/post/llm-mon...chris.eidhof.nlFood Assistant — Chris Eidhof 090

Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 22/05/2025I've been playing around with this tool to record and play back my typing. I took inspiration from Retcon and made the history draggable. Things like automatically doing the indentation / syntax highlighting quite don't work yet, but those are the "easy" polishing bits. 2121

Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 23/03/2025Interesting! I think you can always write something with a keypath (as long as all function arguments are hashable) 420
Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 21/03/2025yes, that's my understanding as well. Maybe it's not a problem that the body redraws? If you don't have a performance problem then it doesn't matter :) 100

Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 19/03/2025In our workshops, people often use `Group` and somehow it always makes me feel uneasy — it can behave in unexpected ways.

Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 03/01/2025I’ve been saying the same thing. Excel, SwiftUI, Makefiles, its all the same (incremental programming). 030
Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 21/12/2024I think once I want to take another step with this project I should seriously consider moving towards that. Currently the nice thing is that there's zero external dependencies, so nothing can break and everything fits into my head. But hopefully soon! 010

Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 19/12/2024(I also only figured that out after bridging NSSlider myself). 050
Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 19/12/2024The `Animatable` protocol lets you hook into the animation subsystem of SwiftUI. You can expose any property using `AnimatableData` and have it interpolated for you (but the property does need to conform to `VectorArithmetic`) 0162
Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 18/12/2024Keyframe animations are a very powerful tool to have in your toolbox. They're more complicated than regular SwiftUI animations but allow you to animate almost anything you can think of. 1324
Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 17/12/2024Phase animators can help to work around the limitations of the regular SwiftUI animation system. They let you do animations that end up in the same state as the starting point. 080
Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 16/12/2024In many cases, adding a `.animation` or `withAnimation` might be all you need to have beautiful interruptible animations in SwiftUI. 0294

Chris Eidhof @eidhof.nl · 12/12/2024Often it doesn't really matter whether you use an overlay or a ZStack, but if the views have different sizes and positions, it definitely does! 1162
