I got some free time! Let me know if you're working on sth cool and maybe we can collaborate! Here's a trip down memory lane of what I've been up to (riveo et al.) #iosdev #graphics #shaders

And it's out. Riveo is now on the mac:)

Riveo for the mac is coming. Let me know if you want in on the beta!

these are more fun on the mac, gotta say. #shaders #iosdev

Added ze button to Riveo as a template. And then some. #shaders #iosdev

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Maybe i should just pivot Riveo to interactive. #shaders #iosdev #iosapp

Loving liquid glass but hate when that happens. #wwdc25

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I must say seeing all the liquid glass videos makes me want to work on interactions more. Maintaining an app is a lot of grunt work...

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Riveo comes with liquid glass but also frosted glass, fluted glass, broken glass, ... lots of glass. Can be applied to any vector paths. #wwdc25

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Interactive liquid glass in Riveo. Already live. #wwdc25

Old aqua... liquid glass experiment when working on materials for Riveo. #wwdc

Details... Hover effect on the avatar for the upcoming mac version. Notice the subtle 3D effect.

Mac version of Riveo is slowly making progress...

is there a way to fake hover events on iOS? Tried to go via HIDEvents like you'd fake a touch but it doesn't translate it to hover events...

Got Riveo working on mac catalyst. Not optimized at all but it runs. Even the camera works. Not sure yet if it will see the light of day but I'm positively surprised. Good job people at Apple! #maccatalyst #ios #iosdev

Kafka 2025: Trying to compile tensorflow for mac catalyst. -> tensorflow is compiled with bazel -> bazel doesn't support mac catalyst -> building bazel 6.5 from source -> to build bazel 6.5 you need bazel 6.2.1 -> bazel 6.2.1 doesn't work with Clang 16.0 -> getting Clang 14.0...

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

What's the consensus on mac catalyst these days? Is it usable? Or would one be in for a world of half-baked hurt?

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

1. Add new framework to Xcode 2. forget to lower the deployment target 3. add to app 4. wait for negative reviews to come in saying that the app is crashing... (est. 3 days-ish) Has happened more than once. Bizarre that all the validation layers don't catch this.

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

So apparently there are automated ways to snag up test flight beta spots. What are the kids using these days? Sort of frustrating to open the beta and it instantly gets all claimed.

Ever since I started Riveo I had a ton of very lovely user interactions. But the bad ones - man, I have a whole new appreciation for customer support folks.

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Riveo is charting on 7th (Photo & Video in Germany). Let's see for how long...🫠 #iosdev

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Refactored Riveo to work with concurrency + Swift 6. But there are these horrible runtime assertions you can't turn off and that I have to stumble into accidentally so it's still compiled to Swift 5 >:(

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

How often do folks here ask for expedited reviews? I've maybe asked three times in the last five years. I wonder if I'm being too cautious 🤔

Marcus Eckert @marcuseckert.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

I hate web tech. But the lack of "review times" is heaven. I can just fix things. So much needless stress in having to time and coordinate updates on the App Store...

Well, it had to happen. Riveo is 50% for the next two days-ish. You can get the offer via the link or in the app. apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=o... #blackfriday

Modularizing the codebase using SPM to combat compile time rot. But SPM is half-baked in so many places....

Materials adds a ton of cool capabilities to Riveo, shall post a bit about it. #shaders #graphics #iosdev #apps #iphone #ios

Added materials to www.riveo.app. Notice how it picks up the scene in the reflections. #shader #uiux #graphics #riveo #iosdev

Opened up the Riveo beta once more. Lots of Swift concurrency changes: testflight.apple.com/join/v6ceOm4r #iosdev

Let's start out with a trip down memory lane and a prototype for the riveo onboarding. #shader #iosdev #metal #uiux
