This is probably overkill but I love it so much: Every time I push to Github, an action runs which: 1. Connects to my tailnet 2. SSHes into my Mac mini 3. Runs xcodebuild and runs all my tests 4. Outputs the success/failure to Github

Diving into a very old commit I recently redid a lot of Pestle's scaling code, now I want to at least refresh myself on the converting code (I wrote it over 3 years ago)

Question for AppIntent people: I have an intent A, that when invoked returns a String and a View. I have an intent B, which just invokes A. When A is invoked, I get the view on screen. When B is invoked, I get only the string from A, not the View as well. Is this expected?

I'm running an A/B test right now of a rather subtle paywall copy tweak, and the results are very surprising. This is off the back of a previous paywall experiment which increased conversions by 39% Which represents a 119% improvement in 30 days... if I've done that maths right

iOS people, how would you interpret these results from an A/B test: 🔻Initial conversion rate down 16% 🔻Trials started down 16% 🟢 Trial conversion rate up 26.4% 🟢 Revenue up 5.83% I guess all that matters is revenue, but those initial conversion rates worry me

So how are Xcode String Catalogs supposed to work? Because it's supposed to just extracts strings from your code, but it misses heaps and I don't fancy finding every single case across hundreds of files where something *might* be missed. Is there a trick to making this work?

The nano texture display is so lovely

I put this code snippet in all of my projects. Sorting an array with a KeyPath is a handy way to write concise code to sort arrays, so instead of a.sorted(by: {a.count < b.count}), you can write a.sorted(by: \.count)
