If you don’t want to wait another WWDC and just hope that SwiftData gets iCloud sharing support, you don’t have to!

Accessibility isn't hard when you think about it from the start. So as the first weeks of the #Shipaton rolls on, consider what you can do to make your app more inclusive for everyone.

That's right. You can have the best of both worlds. You get unfettered access to SQLite, a fantastic technology that has stood the test of time, while behind the scenes every change is synchronized across devices using CloudKit.
Seems almost too good to be true!

No, I’m not impressed when your fancy chess AI crushes me. I’ve been being beat by shit chess code since the early 80s. The ZX80 could beat me for half a ten billion trillionth the resources and energy.

Today, my new doctor took me seriously—ordered tests no one else would, acknowledged my stress. I nearly cried. I didn't realize how long it had been since I felt supported. When I thanked her, she just looked at me and said, "it's very hard to get care as woman."

Not supporting landscape is and accessibility issue. If a device is in a fixed position, perhaps mounted on a wheelchair, the app is unusable.

Tell a friend to save a life:
❌ name.lowercased().contains(searchText.lowercased())
✅ name.localizedStandardContains(searchText)
The latter ignores case, but also ignores diacritics (cafe vs café), handles localized variants (ẞ → ss, etc), and is supported in SwiftData.

I’m sure that when the feature I work on is released, people will think there is no design there. Bc it’s so simple. But man does it take a lot of work to arrive at the invisible UX.
