It's almost time. Apps You Can Make Swift Coding Club premieres Sunday, September 20 at 00:00 UTC. For the US, that's tonight: 8:00 PM Eastern, Saturday, September 19 7:00 PM Central, Saturday, September 19 5:00 PM Pacific, Saturday, September 19 appsyoucanmake.com/club #SwiftCodingClub

iPhone screen showing a September 2026 calendar picker with Sunday the 20th selected in black, today the 19th ringed in light blue, and a time field reading 12:00 AM. Overlapping the bottom of the phone is the SwiftUI code that draws it: a DatePicker bound to a constant date in the UTC time zone, so it can't be changed.

iPhone screen with three large overlapping circles: a red one at the top left reading "3 days until" in white, a yellow one at the right reading "Apps You Can Make" in black, and a green one at the bottom left reading "Swift Coding Club" in black. Beside and below them is the SwiftUI code that draws them — a ZStack holding three more ZStacks, each pairing a Circle with a Text and nudged into place with an offset.

Getting everything lined up for Apps You Can Make Swift Coding Club. HStacks, VStacks, and ZStacks are how we do that in SwiftUI. More on that starting Sunday, Sept 20. #SwiftCodingClub appsyoucanmake.com/club @appsyoucanmake.bsky.social

iPhone screen with a countdown built from colored blocks: a purple "4" beside a gray "days until"; green "Apps" beside blue "You"; red "Can" beside orange "Make"; and a wide yellow "Swift Coding Club" underneath. Below is the SwiftUI code that draws them — a VStack holding three HStacks and a final Text, each given padding and a background color.

What was your first CD purchase? Mine was Huey Lewis and the News. I was judging music mostly by music videos and I thought theirs were consistently fun.

John Haney ᯅ @johnhaney.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I’ve been working on DiscOne because I missed the simple ritual of putting on an album and actually looking at the artwork while it plays. It is a music player that connects to Apple Music to bring back that CD collection experience. Here is a quick look at how it works. Launching on Tuesday.

Thinking about choosing a few CDs to listen to while playing Cribbage in the lounge at my college dorm. This is what led me to build my new app, DiscOne. I’m bringing back the intentional selection of albums. Make a choice and listen to the whole album. #ThrowbackThursday #iphone #music

As I reflect a bit while working my way thru WWDC26 videos, I was remembering WWDC13 when Apple introduced a major redesign of iOS. Before that announcement during the keynote, they had full-size slides of many of the default app icons, in their fully skeuomorphic glory, one last tribute.

Mandalorian and Grogu is even better the second time! Aside: This film connects back to Star Wars The Clone Wars a bit, which has a special place in my heart. My daughter’s introduction to Star Wars was reading short books telling the story of that movie. Ashoka is her favorite character.
