As mentioned in my videos I will look into music production for my next semester of learning something new. I already created some noise that could be described as music on a new toy. Where should I upload it? SoundCloud? Podcast? WWW? Here?

Wrote more about the »Built to Last« philosophy behind Stash and how it makes a one-time purchase the only honest option for us.

Subscriptions fund the fragility they pay for. One constraint for software that needs neither.

The video challenge has been over for a week now, and I didn't really have the time to be properly creative since then. I notice how it makes me sad. I kind of always knew how creating something made me feel, but I never noticed how important it actually is for my well-being until now.

Since the video challenge is over I feel like I am having so much free time. At first I felt relieved, but now a couple days later I am craving a new creative outlet that isn't related to building software.

🔧 093 - 𝑆𝑤𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑈𝐼 𝑖𝑛 𝐹𝐶𝑃 by Lucas Fischer (@lucas.love) SwiftUI views rendered as Final Cut Pro effects is the sort of sentence that makes you stop and check you read it right. #iOSDev #SwiftUI lucas.love/100/093

093 - SwiftUI in FCP
SwiftUI views rendered as Final Cut Pro effects is the sort of sentence that makes you stop and check you read it right. Using [SwiftUIFX](https://github.com/finnvoor/SwiftUIFX), the experiment builds SwiftUI components and renders them frame by frame onto video footage, which is not the usual plugin path most of us have in our heads. It’s scrappy and exploratory in the best way. Even if our day job never touches Final Cut Pro, seeing SwiftUI escape the app window is a healthy reminder that our UI tools are more portable than we tend to assume.

Tomorrow will be day 99 of my 1 video for 100 consecutive days challenge. I was thinking of doing an AMA or something like that. So if you ever wanted to ask me something, now would be a good time. Will try to answer as much as possible in the video tomorrow.

I just released a new version of Stash via TestFlight and invited more people to it. This version includes a new custom on-device TTS model, which runs on the iPhone's neural engine at 3x the speed compared to the previous model.

All the footage I recorded this morning is completely corrupted and useless. I thought I was clever and tried something new, by using AirPlay to see the active iPhone recording on my MacBook’s screen. Now the audio and video are completely out of sync in a non-constant way.

Looking for someone with an iPhone 11 or iPhone SE (2nd generation or later) to test Stash, the new app we are building. We want to make sure we properly support all devices that can run iOS 26.

🆕 New in Xcode 27. Apple suggests using iOS 17 (2023) as the minimum deployment target, which supports devices from 2018. They expose this suggestion as RECOMMENDED_IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET variable. If you use this it, Xcode will automatically change the minimum deployment target.

If coding is really solved, what excuse do companies like Anthropic have to ship a gigabyte slop job chat app that reserves 23 GB of disk space right after launch? If coding is solved, couldn’t they just make it as small and performant as possible? I am puzzled. 🧩

PSA You can use Stripe as a merchant of record (Stripe Managed Payments), so you don't have to worry about handling taxes, fraud or chargebacks. Amore has first-class support for this. It was never this easy to sell your Mac app.

You can setup an automatic CI/CD pipeline using Amore. Every time someone in your team pushes to main or adds a release tag, Amore can pick up your latest commit and publish a new version for you. You can use multiple release channels like beta/stable to decide who gets access to your releases.
