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.

Rotating the iPhone Duo simulator with Xcode 27.1. It looks like a left-handed UI in the last rotation to me 🤔👀

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.

In five days, Apps You Can Make Swift Coding Club starts and this will start to make sense. appsyoucanmake.com/club #SwiftCodingClub
iPhone screen with a countdown: "5 days until Apps You Can Make Swift Coding Club". Below it, the SwiftUI code that draws it: a ContentView whose body is four Text views, one per line.

You could be doing this in an ImmersiveSpace and adding your SwiftUI “window” as an attachment on a RealityView Entity you position within that space. Then you would have a fixed position for the SwiftUI content that you control.

Compression and LLMs are trying to solve the exact same problem: predicting what comes next. @anniesexton.com's interactive essay walks us through the basics of compression to reveal its surprising overlap with every language model you've ever used.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

You really don’t. So it’s about trying to optimize what time you do have. For me, that’s usually waking up early and using that time when the house is quiet

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.
