I just released WhaleDeck 3, which makes Docker management and monitoring a joy.

In case you aren’t familiar, Docker enables you to run apps and services in isolated containers on your computer or server.

🚨 WhaleDeck 3 is out with a completely revamped design and many new features🎉

Have you ever heard of LabeledContent? This element powers popular controls like pickers, steppers, and toggles. It lets you associate a value with a label, especially useful in lists. Explore its usage and variants here:

Just a quick word of warning if you’re developing something for this year’s #SwiftStudentChallenge: don’t import assets via Xcode if you expect your app to run in the Playground/on a real iPad. They use different asset formats. I learned this the hard way last year!

Hot startup idea:
An app that automatically updates your IAP pricing based on the latest tariffs with a single click.

Not sure whether I should laugh or cry, but a simple timeframe description caused random hitches and slowed the UI down. Instruments helped me track it down, and caching the description fixes it for now. Amazing how much impact a "simple" text can have…

My new app is coming together nicely. It's currently in closed beta and will hopefully be released to the public this month, or at the latest, in early February. There's already so much to explore, and the list of additional feature ideas is still growing.

A brief service announcement: Today is the perfect day to install the important security updates you’ve been postponing all year on all your servers. Yes, even that old, crappy Raspberry Pi you shoved under the staircase and hoped everyone would forget about.

Happy New Year! 🎉

Is there any way to make a native #SwiftUI macOS settings window resizable, like the Xcode preferences window? No matter what modifiers I try, I can't get it to work.

I tried something fun today: printing one of my app’s icon with an NFC tag embedded inside. For this, I designed a coin-shaped chamber where I inserted the tag during a pause in the print. Now, holding the icon near your iPhone automatically opens the app’s page.

Did you know iOS 26 introduces a new button initializer that only takes a role and an action as parameters?
Based on the role, a fully localized label with a custom icon is generated. This also provides a native way to get the sheet close and confirm buttons.

I've now updated all iOS screenshots on exploreswiftui.com with their Liquid Glass variants. Additionally, the code is now formatted much more nicely, and the screenshot variant is now synced with the browser’s dark mode setting.

Exploreswiftui.com will soon see a big update with dedicated support for Liquid Glass. I’ll update screenshots of existing elements while keeping the flat versions. This also enables exploring the new language and comparing it with the old flat design.

This still haunts me 😭 The modifier doesn’t work on Tahoe, and even my workaround is broken there. Is there any other way on macOS to make a list section full-width?

#iOSDev #SwiftUI
This is now soooo much easier with iOS 26. Simply apply listSectionMargins and listRowInsets to the first section. Whoever @Apple implemented this: Thank you so much!!!!

I’ve been experimenting with mesh gradients lately as colorful backgrounds that dynamically adapt to the content that’s being shown.
