Your posting rhythm is easier to read as a grid than as a number. SkyDeck's Post Activity widget puts your recent posting days on the Home Screen. One glance tells you whether last week went quiet. 👀 apple.co/4bRq4H0 #iOS

Added SkyDeck's follower widget to my home screen. No more opening the app just to check the number, it's right there next to the weather 👀 #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

are starter packs still a thing on Bluesky, or did the hype fade with 2024? curious how many people still actively add to theirs versus set it once and forget it exists. and how do you even find the good ones these days, any real system or just luck?

SkyDeck shows what Bluesky's own app doesn't: follower trends, who unfollowed you, and your actual superfans. everything computed on-device, nothing leaves your phone. sign in with OAuth, no app password needed. apple.co/4bRq4H0 #Bluesky #iOS

Anyone using Postiz for social media content planning? The web app is not really mobile responsive, so I‘m locking into building a native app for Apple platforms. #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

How do you usually get some initial traction for a new app, especially when it is aimed at a specific niche? #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev

iOS & macOS 27 are almost here! And I haven’t had time to dive in yet to check out all the shiny new features for my apps 😅 For now, I’m busy polishing up the latest versions of @getskydeck.app and @getremark.app ✨

I guess this is also not what you are looking for: Image(systemName: "star") .background(.blue, in: Circle())

On-device AI is great until prompts hit context limits. I built a hybrid router using local inference for light tasks and falling back to cloud models (Gemini) for heavy ones—all powered by Apple's Dynamic Profiles: peterfriese.dev/blog/2026/h...

Next SkyDeck update: "Open in SkyDeck" 🦋 Share any bsky.app profile and it opens right in the app. From Safari straight away, from the Bluesky app via a notification you tap. #iOS #iPhone

Yeah I agree for simple use cases it’s good. I facing a lot of performance issues with the SwiftUI @Query and need to move more and more stuff off main thread to load. Also #Predicate is not that easy to use for complex fetches

Yeah I also have to use macdown at work but the UX is so.. outdated?

What are people using to read markdown files? I know a lot of people are using obsidian, but what about all the markdown files in are repo? I guess VSCode etc. because most of the developers using these tools for coding too?

Why have you decided to use SwiftData? I’m using SwiftData in one of my apps but started with SQLiteData in a second one because it feels way more flexible.

For 19 months my own site said "Beta coming soon to iOS." 😬 SkyDeck had been on the App Store since March 2025. I was building instead of telling anyone 😅 Fixed that 👉 getskydeck.app/bsky #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

The SkyDeck account leads with 🚀 I lead with 😅, 42 times out of 250. Which is about right for shipping software😅 #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

SkyDeck on an iPhone showing the Your Emoji screen. A grinning face with sweat at the top, used 42 times, 17% of all emoji. Below: 44% of posts have an emoji, 64 different emoji, 250 in total. Then a ranked list: grinning face 30 times, relieved face 27, rocket 12, star-struck 11, smiling face 9.

Thanks for the hint. I focused so much on the App Store release that I forgot about updating the cask url 😅

The big difference is the experience: it’s native iOS, fast, and designed for quick daily check-ins (including widgets). I’m also keeping it privacy-friendly by processing insights on-device. the focus stays on a clean iOS workflow and clear stats.

From a developer perspective and able to handling the cli, Is it much better or different than using claude code?

Are there any iOS apps out there which are using the TabViewBottomAccessory and are not a music or podcast app? I‘m looking for some inspirations #SwiftUI

Just noticed that my TestFlights for @getskydeck.app have expired. I’m still working on the OS26 updates and haven’t had much time over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, this means I’ll also miss the on-time release for the new OS versions today 😬 #iOSDev #Skydeck

Yes, they could provide access to the online model for older devices but that would avoid users buying a new device to have the intelligence features 😅
