I write some code and try to be a decent person.
Created a community on Reddit for my little app. Not sure it'll be useful, but you don't know unless you try. So far Facebook and Discord have been the best places to discuss the app, but not everyone hangs out there.

A community for discussing everything related to the iOS/iPadOS app Model Colors. The app makes it easy to manage your model paint stash, shopping list, model kit projects and much more.

Finally got the iOS/iPadOS 26 version of my crappy little app done. It didn't really take this long but I got a bit bogged down for quite some time trying to decide how to do some things. All in all my Liquid Glass porting was mainly to nuke old UIKit appearance stuff and just go with the flow.

Maybe it’s time to push out an iOS 26 version of my silly little app. Not sure about how many are using it, but probably double digit percentages by now. Normally nothing to worry about, but this time I’m dropping support for older versions.

Why do some views cause the sidebar background to be fugly and some do not break it? The background in the first screenshot make the sidebar mostly impossible to quickly read.
Can I somehow make it be always be opaque and not randomly like now?

Liquid Glass on an iPad is pretty horrible. So many weird bugs. Such as this nicely clipped shadow. Or anything to do with a sidebar. You may or may not get a fugly mirrored background from the main view. Or a main view that does not resize when the sidebar is shown. These just in 5 mins of testing.

Bluesky seems to sign me out all the time. I peek in here maybe once or twice a week and almost every time I've been signed out. Not an earth shattering problem, but still annoying and I maybe expected more.

Ah, had forgotten about this service. Is it still write-only or is there more interactivity here nowadays?

Tomorrow will be the day that I install iOS 26 on my phone and start the required huge Liquid Glass rewrite of my app. Apparently every single part of the UI must be glass now and preferably illegible. Oh and tab views everywhere.

I wonder why an Observable model class in SwiftUI that contains arrays of data does not work in SwiftUI? A view renders the data in the model when shown, but mutating the arrays in the model does not trigger redraws. To me it should work out of the box. It doesn't.

This is still the social site which seems to be only about posting, no real interactions. Seems even LinkedIn is more social than this place.

I'm getting somewhat disillusioned with the mobile ecosystems. All the players are dystopian capitalist hellscapes and there's no way to make a living making software there. If you aren't a celebrity rockstar developer you have no way to get any traction nor visibility.

Any developer that has dared try the public iOS and iPadOS betas? I guess it’s time if I’m to do the total rewrite of my app before 26 launches. My app is fortunately only some 60 major screens and a few dozen major sheets, should be trivial to rethink everything for Liquid Metal.

I see huge amounts of marketing here compared to other social networks. Apparently the algorithm is wonky and/or the people I follow are all "indie builders" and everyone is launching new versions of everything almost every day.

I wish there was some easy way to get statistics about how well some random app iOS app does in terms of sales, subscriptions, downloads etc. I'd be interested to see if my niche is as barren as it seems, or if one of my competitors is where everyone's at.

Tonic on top of Tokio looks like an interesting Rust project to get a gRPC server/client up and running.
I'm interested in testing some protocols other than REST to do mobile backends with. REST feels like there's just soo much extra crap for each request.

If I’m somewhat fed up with the complexities of CMake, what are the current hot alternatives? Assume a not huge C++ code base that needs to be buildable on Linux, Mac and Windows. A fair deal of external dependencies but otherwise pretty simple.

Interesting how much of the tech scene of this place is all kinds of bros preaching growth hacking and whatnot. Like during ye olden days of Shitter.

Interesting that the iPhone camera always gets the orientation wrong when photographing something where the camera is pointing mostly down. Like my wrist, something on a table etc. In 90% of cases I have to rotate the photos manually, year after year. Annoying. This should be solved by now.

I find it somewhat hard to be excited about WWDC, in part to Apple's unwavering support of the current US fascist government.
The fact that Apple also hates all third party developers does not really help. I have not seen them do anything good for us lately that wasn't court enforced.

Can anyone recommend good noob blogs or sites related to Rust? I don’t care about language wankery and gritty details, I would like to follow people that are learning, share good practices or just write about cool Rust stuff. No video content, real written material.

@proton.me Is it intended that shared folders should be annoying to use? We have a share folder and the only way to access it it via the web interface, which is pretty clunky. The Mac Finder integration or Mac app doesn't show them and nor do the iOS Files integration.

Trying to solve why "@Self changed" for a SwiftUI view. This triggers various bugs due to a view getting recreated when it's no longer visible. There are no tools that can help me understand why the view changed. The state of SwiftUI debugging is an abomination.
