Finally updated ShapeUp to 1.0.0! Create corners using relative anchor points, apply corner styles, move/rotate/scale/mirror them with ease, add notches along any edge, and wrap them in a CornerShape that is automatically insettable and animatable. #SwiftUI #iOSDev github.com/ryanlintott/...

lēof-spell, n.n: a pleasant message. (LAY-off-SPELL / ˈleːɔf-ˌspɛl) The US/Canada paperback DEORHORD is out today! (The UK edition is already out in the rest of the world.) See where to get it here: buff.ly/l4Lbsip #OldEnglish #WOTD #TheDeorhord @princetonupress.bsky.social

A row of copies of the paperback book THE DEORHORD by Hana Videen, with one in the centre facing out so the front cover is visible, with images of a horse-like sea creature, a dragon, a griffin, an eagle and some ants.

Playing around with liquid glass on custom shapes. This is regular glass with a 10% pink tint. You need a background for the glass effect to work. The highlight effect seems to be using a Capsule shape and not the provided shape so it looks a bit weird. #SwiftUI #iOSDev #WWDC #WWDC25

As the designer/developer of the Old English Wordhord, I often ask myself "What would medieval England do?" Stained liquid glass. #iOSDev #WWDC #WWDC25

Old drawing of an orca, that looks like a fish with pointy teeth and a kinda human like face

I’m really not sure how to start this one. Normally, I write about technical topics. But, that’s not what this is. This is different. So I’m just going to say it.

Time to see if this SF Symbol trick will work... #iOSDev #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

SF Symbol export dialog showing a bow and arrow pointing upward symbol. The ultralight version has the bow drawn with an arrow in it and as the weight move to regular and black the bow releases the arrow moves up and away.

I'm extremely proud of how Pediapal came out, and it's such a personal milestone of mine to ship an indie app. I'm excited for folks to use it, and I'm excited to continue to grow it. It all started as a way to help me with my family, so it is my earnest wish that it will help you with yours.

Swift concurrency error in XCode 16.2 beta 3. The onPreferenceChange closure is now Sendable which means (unless I'm missing something) we can no longer modify main actor properties. I hope this closure can instead use @.MainActor because otherwise this is going to cause some big problems. #SwiftUI

SwiftUI onPreferenceChange view modifier that modifies a width property with warnings that read “Main actor-isolated property ‘width’ can not be reference from a Sendable closure”
