The next version of Raycast (v2) is using cross platform tech — time to find a new launcher and clipboard history app. Desktop utilities like these need to be as resource efficient as possible if I'm leaving them running in the background all of the time.

I used to rely on the controlActiveState environment value to check whether a macOS window is focused in #SwiftUI, but it's deprecated since macOS 15. The replacement is the appearsActive value, which is true when the window is focused and false when it's not: nilcoalescing.com/blog/DetectF...

I love how we can use the symbolVariant() modifier in #SwiftUI instead of typing full SF Symbol names like "star.fill". It even works on multiple symbols at once!

I’ve been implementing copy-to-clipboard functionality in a Mac app and found it’s a bit different from iOS. On iOS, UIPasteboard automatically replaces the clipboard contents, but with NSPasteboard, we need to clear them manually for it to work #SwiftLang nilcoalescing.com/blog/CopyStr...
