And, as you’d expect, there are, of course, balloons you can pop! 🎯✂️

Yannick Lung @yanlu.chat · 21/09/2026

Attention designers and developers! I just released my second Mac app: SF Balloons! 🎈 Think of it as the emoji picker, but for SF Symbols. Super handy if you use them a lot and don’t want to keep switching apps. It’s free, so get it here 👇 apps.apple.com/app/sf-ballo... #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

To whom it may concern: I can confirm a box of Altoids is MagSafe compatible.

I was surprised when I found out Now Playing on macOS doesn't show songs playing on a HomePod (as iOS does). So, I built my own tool. Convenient *and* beautiful. Progressive blurs, animated album covers and all the other good stuff 🥰

My app just reached another huge milestone: 1,000 ratings at an incredible 4.9-star average! #BuildInPublic

What a coincidence. I’m about to submit a new update very soon which will add US plates 😎 #WWDC26

And another one! The latest version of my app is now available and comes with a shiny new app for Apple Watch ⌚️🎉 #BuildInPublic

Today’s task was to divide my Mac screen into 8 pizza slices to enable automatic snapping 🍕🧲 #BuildInPublic

Yannick Lung @yanlu.chat · 07/02/2026

What a crazy week. In addition to new updates for my license plate app, I built three new Mac apps. Each of them serves a different purpose and was created to simplify my workflow. I am most proud of a (not-so-small) GeoJSON viewer app. #BuildInPublic

Oh my! My app has quietly surpassed 500 ratings globally, and it's still rocking at 4.9! 🤩🥳 I couldn't be happier! #IndieDev

I'm working on the next version of my app and finally decided to reduce its size (was 300 MB). After days and nights of compressing and optimising images, plus a small breakdown yesterday when it reached 1 GB 🫠, I'm happy with the result: only 80 MB! 🥳🥳🥳 #BuildInPublic

There's reason to celebrate! One year ago today, Kennzeichen Wiki was released in the App Store! 🎈🎂 A lot has happened in the meantime, and even an Android app is in the starting blocks 😎 At this point, I'd just like to say a big thank you to all of you! Here's to many more years! 🫶 #BuildInPublic

Great, looks like I found my first copycat… not sure if I should be flattered or pissed 😑 #indiedev

In iPadOS 26, the new menu bar automatically adds an action that links to your app’s system settings. However, pressing [⌘,] should usually open your in-app settings. Using CommandGroup (replacing: .appSettings) takes care of that. #SwiftUI

.commands {
CommandGroup(replacing: .appSettings) {
Button("Settings", systemImage: "gear") {
// Action
}
.keyboardShortcut(",", modifiers: .command)
}

Quick question: how can I create Shortcut groups like these? What are those called? #SwiftUI

Damn, Liechtenstein! 🇱🇮 The Specular highlight looks good on you! 🪩✨ #iOS26

A little while ago, I had the pleasure of creating the new app icon for Ocean 🌊 I’m thrilled to finally see it out in the wild! Congratulations to the team! 🎉

After playing around with all the effects for a while, the Icon Composer is really fun! 🥃 I was planning on embossing letters anyway, so timing is perfect! #iOS26

Interesting… the iOS 26 Sketch library displays the app icons at 66×66. However, from the screenshot I took it’s 64×64.

Yannick Lung @yanlu.chat · 10/06/2025

Okay, so the most important question we've all been asking: Yes, the radius of the Squircle™ has changed! 😱 The default app icon size is now 64×64 (nice!), with a corresponding radius of 16.5. Here's the difference: #iOS26

Difference between corner radii from iOS 18 and iOS 26

New Toggle style? Also, for the first time ever (?) the default cell height is not 44 pt anymore? #iOS26

Okay, dark mode & glass theme looks *incredible*

Looks like my apps is ready for #iOS26 from day one… 🤪 At least the widgets and even the app icon (probably due to the tinted version)?!

Even the pagination dots reflect 😍

New TestFlight icon. Who dis?

Due to displaying more countries, I had to find a better solution than using a Menu. v2 was an adaptation of the .pickerStyle(.inline) but I didn’t like the whitespace caused by the checkmark. So I opted for a custom solution (v3), which even displays the progress of seen plates. #BuildInPublic

Hallo, Zdravo, Ciao, Bok and Hei! 👋🇧🇪🇸🇮🇮🇹🇭🇷🇳🇴 Exciting news: Version 2.1 will include far more countries than originally planned—bringing the total number of plates to over 2,000! 🤩 Just putting on the final touches, so stay tuned! 🔜 #BuildInPublic

I dug a little deeper into SwiftData and added one last quality of life improvement for version 2.0: widgets now show favorites and seen status and can now be filtered accordingly ✨ #BuildInPublic #SwiftData
