This looks like a kitten, right?
But afawk, this is a 17 year old.
Mamacat came to us a few years ago after her original owner passed away. She had had a hard life so she hung out in the closet, then the bedroom then the bathroom. But she always meowed if she wanted cuddles.
She passed Monday.

That is interesting!
It looks like NavigationLink gets automatically disabled when in edit mode.
I can kind of get around it by only showing the NavigationLink if edit mode is off. idk if this is the approach you're taking, but it seems to work: gist.github.com/jaywardell/1...

So I was rear-ended today. The car in front of me stopped short because the car in front of it stopped to avoid hitting a teenager running across the road. I stopped in time, but the car behind me didn't.
On the plus side: driving the car home, no-one tailgated me.

Ok. You got me.
I always think of a celebrity as “someone who is celebrated”, but that’s not how most people use it.
I went looking for backup myself and I found the first definition which I thought proved my point. Then I found the second which I thought might also until I saw the citation.

any #swift 6 experts out there:
I'm not sure how to fix this error.
Speaker has to inherit from NSObject because it has to act as a delegate to AVSpeechSynthesizer.
But if it inherits from NSObject, then the compiler complains that its properties are mutable (which of course they must be).

Hello all.
I’ve been playing around with something else.
You know how people here regularly post screenshots of big blocks of text and it’s hard to read them because you have to scroll around the screen?
Well I came up with a way to turn those images back into text in a couple taps.

I’ve open sourced another library from my work on SkyMarks.
MatchedText is a SwiftUI View that shows matches with a filter string. It’s made to work as much like a regular Text View as possible. It lets you customize how matching text is styled.

For SkyMarks, I needed a SwiftUI button that could only be tapped once and then would show that it had been tapped.
