@pointfreeco It was excellent. Very impressive tech and you two are skilled communicators.

The syncing was my favourite part. It’s always been something I wish GRDB did, and now…it does!

Can someone advise which version of the Switch 2 I should buy please?

Screenshot from an Amazon app. The search bar says “switch 2 console” and the results pane below lists two versions of the Nintendo Wii. This is what passes for humour here, folks!

@pointfreeco Yeah, I agree with that.

For example, I love SwiftUI because it hides lots of complexity for me.

There are loads of tools and we should use the ones we like 😁

Very much looking forward to your livestream 👍

Also, this is not me dunking on the other tech. I am super interested in what @pointfreeco are doing because it looks awesome.

SwiftData appears to be hiding data access so much that it doesn’t currently interest me.

The takeaway from watching some stuff about SwiftData/SharingGRDB queries is that SQL is a lovely, simple, easily understood language. And query stuff in Swift is…not 😂

Note: I have 20+ years SQL experience and about 20+ minutes SwiftData/SharingGRDB, so I might be biased.

⭐️ I have finally published the source repository for Coppice, @pilky's mind-mapping app, as per his final wishes.

It is provided as-is, without a license, to help prospective developers learn from a longtime Mac developer who really sweated the details, and always went out of his way to provide help to people who needed it.
