Yessss I didn’t even know about this being a Nintendo switch 2 feature, but this is gonna make looking up words in my game screenshots via Nihongo sooooo much smoother

@jeehut.bsky.social lol wait what, TranslateKit, the app for translating apps, isn't localized?? 😂

For anyone presenting at @communitykit.bsky.social Indie Fair, this was a cool trick I wasn't sure would work but totally did.

I opened my app landing page in Windsurf, and asked it to trim the contents down and turn it into an A4-sized flyer. I think it came out great!

Original: transcrybe.app

Amazing talk @pinkerstraws.bsky.social!!! Go get all the anime figurines!!

Meanwhile in Japan…

Been about a year since I feel like I got the hang of Apple Search ads. One thing I've learned is that customer value varies greatly between countries.

The slow transition from Objective-C to Swift continues... up to 73% Swift in this release!

Was about to replace this card in Nihongo Lessons, feeling like をきらい is just wrong. But then looked at n-grams and it's actually not that uncommon. (12% vs. 88% for がきらい)

Turns out, it's modern Tokyo dialect, and I live in Kansai. Feels like it's not a usage that's taken off around here?

Putting the final touches on Nihongo Lessons 1.2... maybe the biggest update I've ever done focused entirely on Japanese beginners!

Very cool to have Nihongo Lessons get a shoutout in the latest Swift over Coffee!! Good luck with your Japanese learning journey @twostraws.bsky.social! 🍣

Man, this is why we can't have nice things. Yes, the app is expensive. But it has 4.8 stars with plenty of ratings, and plenty of purchasers. Expensive != low quality

Anyone experiencing this lately?

The command "Sync Text Settings" is still busy.

I get this message at the top of my editor in Xcode randomly, that prevents me from typing anything and I have to force quit Xcode.

Maybe related to GitHub Copilot for Xcode?

Feeling pretty good about the update to Nihongo lessons I’m working on to gradually replace English letters (romaji) with Japanese characters as people learn them!

Made my first ever physical marketing for Nihongo besides business cards and stickers. A poster! In the real world!
