earlsweatshirt Link ParentGood point haha. Here it is: https://ibb.co/35cQLtRN As you can see the app uses the native tab bar, navigation bar, and search bar, so it picks up new designs for all those components « for free »Good point haha.

Fixing it now. Apologies. I still haven’t had time do much of anything that I want to do in terms of this project. But, I did finally spend some time this morning to set up a CI/CD pipeline so that even if there are no updates, the beta will be refreshed with a new build before it expires, so that should be the last time.
Sorry ! Hope anyone still using the app enjoys it still. Maybe this summer I can fix the gestures 😆

earlsweatshirt Link ParentDepending on the 2FA app you use, you can actually get your steam guard codes in it. Bitwarden has a guide on how to do it, for example.Depending on the 2FA app you use, you can actually get your steam guard codes in it. Bitwarden has a guide on how to do it, for example.

Chris Lattner said it best when he said it feels like SwiftUI was designed to write code that looks good on a powerpoint slide (From this great interview: https://youtu.be/ovYbgbrQ-v8?si=NL_7yUlydZNVXBhm)

Yep, this used to be the biggest draw of Swift for me. Nowadays, I’m not so sure… There’s so much going on with macros, property wrappers, result builders and other newer Swift features where I think it’s frankly quite unreadable - macros and property wrappers in particular explicitly hide a lot of what’s happening from the programmer using them unless you really dig into them.
That’s not to say I think it’s a bad language, it’s still probably my favorite language I work with. But, I hope that some of these new features are stepping stones to something better.
A funny comment I saw on Reddit about Swift 6:
i feel like with swift6 they killed the simplicity of swift everyone loved. Fk u
@escaping @Sendable @MainActor @autoclosure () async throws -> Bool!An exaggeration to make a point, perhaps, but a little too close to the truth for me :)
(And thanks. The same to you :)

I find that Swift (and SwiftUI as well) are increasingly less discoverable as the number of magical keywords you couldn’t possibly know about without being told grows.
Hell, the things they did to Swift itself to make SwiftUI’s syntax possible are already questionable.

Apologies for letting that happen again. Been slammed as usual with my actual job and life 😅 I do still spend some time reading Tildes but haven’t been contributing much lately for sure.
I’ll get it refreshed this weekend.
And because I don’t think I’ve said it publicly before - I plan to open-source the app so other people can contribute or even just build it themselves for when I inevitably fuck up again. There’s still some parts I want to clean up before doing that, but I’m aiming to publish the repo by the end of the year.
Good app, shitty dev, amiright 😂

I haven’t run into any such games in my own play, but that’s neat to hear some exist. The Deck is awesome 😄
I’ve been working on a big-screen optimized UI for the iPad version of Surfboard.
(Current version for comparison)
I’m pretty happy with the UI itself, just have a laundry list of bugs to fix mostly related to the fact that adding/removing a column causes the width of a scroll view (e.g. the feed) to change. It’s definitely one of those moments where I kinda wish I had just done the app in UIKit. It’s also been kinda eye opening going back to the project’s code (some of my earliest SwiftUI work, and pre many improvements in newer SwiftUI versions) and seeing a lot of room for performance improvements. Surely some day I’ll get around to doing that too 😆
