Congrats to @rlfb for releasing Sequel 2.5. It’s the best media tracker for iOS and has the kind of polish only a handful of other apps have.

Definitely take it for a spin yourself! indieapps.space/@sequel/114744

Still maddening to me that the corner radius of macOS windows changes depending on the toolbar style you use.

Neat new SwiftUI modifier: scrollEdgeEffectStyle(_:for:)

When Jobs first demoed the Mac to Gates in July ’81, he was allowed to see everything but banned from asking how anything worked. Gates saw how smoothly the mouse cursor was drawn and the windows moved so he immediately assumed it was equipped with custom graphics hardware. There wasn’t any, just Bill Atkinson and QuickDraw. RIP legend

Screenshot of a macOS desktop showing an app named “Oliphaunt,” a Mastodon client. The main window displays the “Trending” feed, including posts (toots) from users. On the left sidebar are navigation items like Home, Notifications, Trending, Live Feeds and Direct Messages. Two remote instances, mastodon.social and mastodon.online, are listed at the top. On the right, a separate window shows the compose view for a new toot by a user named John Appleseed, with placeholder text in the editor. The app runs on macOS with a Sequoia-style wallpaper and dock icons visible at the bottom. The menu bar shows it is Thursday, 8 May at 4:59 pm.

@adamfoot @mattiem Amazing app! How did you manage that the titlebar accessory view that’s being generated by .searchScopes stays visible at all times? When I used, it was only visible when I activated the search bar from .searchable

@alexkaessner Working with SwiftData is so much fun on smaller projects. I just really hope they start giving us some Core Data power features like NSCompoundPredicates or derived attributes.

@oskargroth I was very skeptical of iOS 18‘s dark mode icons at first but damn. Now I feel like these light icons stick out like a sore thumb on macOS when using dark mode

@anneapplebaum I was like whoah, that font is so weirdly rendered. There’s no way he actually wrote that.

Opens his weird app…

Yes, he did. Yes, people elected him. Yes, there’s dozens of similar posts every day on there

@Cykelero For my basic needs, I really love using Kolibri for Swift UI. It definitely deserves more attention

@yanlu Not having any ability to mark stuff as read is unfortunately an absolute deal breaker for me.
