One component in form from the outside... I had to update which data SwitchBuddy has, figure out how to efficiently query this and then integrate it into filtering logic on the server 😀

Managed to get #NintendoSwitch2 today 🎉 The shop had almost no info prior to release but in the morning I got notification that I can pick it up from the "delivery box". Can't wait to dive into MK World tonight and then also maybe get some @switchbuddy.bsky.social ideas 😀 #gaming #Nintendo

Having themable app is cool, dealing with contrast issues not so much 🫠 At least with this preview I can easily see all colors in light/dark and tweak it. #iOSDev

Preview screenshot showing example text views in all the different themes like green blue, red, gray and "sunset". The blue has not so great contrast against black background and the gray is close to unreadable.

Not sure why it took me this long but I finally installed Mac version of 1Password (I was using just the browser extension) and it is wonderful! Shortcut to open their "quick find", another one to copy username, then password and done. Wonder what similar improvements I am missing 😁

New source of UI inspiration. This is a magnificent app, a mobile 3D model designer (a pocket blender kind of app). Gorgeous, highly polished, mobile-centric. A great companion for Godot on iPad: valence3d.app Files another dozen bugs on things they do wonderfully.
