robb @robb.is · 12/09/2026I don't expect many apps to make great use of the partially folded config on iPhone Duo - dedicating half the screen to a sidebar feels wasteful and aligning content with the crease dynamically seems non trivial. 110

robb @robb.is · 06/07/2026I wish Swift had a way to explicitly shadow certain type names from frameworks. #SwiftUI claims names List, Table (and now Documents as of iOS 27 beta 2) for types that we never use so we end up prefixing every with Linear all the time. 231
