Before image of two screenshots. One showing a feed of episodes in chronological order and a separate section "continue" for started, but not finished, episodes. The other screenshot shows episodes in the detail view of a podcast show.

After image of the same two views in the before image. All episodes have a background color based of the podcast show cover art, bringing a variety of colors. Compared to the light grey background in the before. The cover art for episodes in "Continue" are much bigger and easier to identify. In the podcast detail view, each episode show their specific cover art, instead of the podcast show like before.

Can't believe THIS is why I had to spend a couple of hours debugging a visionOS widget. Did I miss a video? 🥲 Could only get .systemExtraLargePortrait to show using .systemExtraLarge in the switch. #visionOS #indieDev #OS26 #visionOS26 #wwdc25 #widget #xcode

Extra Large Portrait widget showing "Apple" in visionOS simulator

Code snippet:
case .systemLarge: Text("Apple")
case .systemExtraLarge: Text("Potato")
case .systemExtraLargePortrait: Text("Beans")

On a table with a vase with tulips are some swag placed: Blue hat with orange embroidery print, github pin in black and yellow, sciencey github sticker and figma pin in multiple colors on one side and shiny on the other.

Swag from the swag booth at #Config2025: Sweater, pin and “Practice, a book about design & craft by Figma “ Great way to personalize your badge for ice breakers. Wether you’re looking for likeminded people or to broaden your perspective with the opposite 👏 #config25

When I think about folks starting their journey in iOS development, I find it can be tricky to navigate all the available materials and identify what is fundamental and essential. I believe Apple Pathways is a good resource for this purpose: developer.apple.com/pathways/?ci...

Welcome to Pathways - Apple Developer

Pathways are simple and easy-to-navigate collections of the videos, documentation, and resources you’ll need to start building great apps and games.
