Dug up my ~25 year old Casio graphing calculator yesterday. It still worked (after putting new batteries), and the little games I surreptitiously made during maths class were still on it!

Been working on my own take on iOS 26’s swipe actions, it’s satisfying getting these little interactions working!
SwiftUI only provides the .swipeActions modifier on List views (which I’m not using).

Swapped coffee with @strasser.bsky.social, made my first cup of C•Sol and this morning, it’s delicious!
Now drinking my first ever cup from home roasted beans from @pbobak.bsky.social, tastes amazing too!
Thanks coffee buddies 🫶
My current library (not including already frozen beans!)

Just got back from @swiftleeds.co.uk, it was fantastic! My first non-game conference, and my first small conference - it had a great, friendly, welcoming vibe. GDC is always fun but it’s also MASSIVE and by comparison impersonal and super commercial.
Leeds is a beautiful and vibrant town!

My younger son holding up a drawing with “I want to be a game developer when I grow up” with a drawing of Mario.
No idea where he gets these silly juvenile ideas.

Spatial scenes on iOS 26 are super impressive in general and have been near perfect in my experience. Great fun on a lock screen!
So I was curious to see how it would interpret a full frame photo of a painting. Valiant attempt but not great 😅

Started a new little trailer for Substage ever since adding Homebrew support, since I don't think I've done a good job of just how much it can do now! (markdown, epubs, PDF manipulation, animated gifs and more).
Trailer is very much work in progress, but here are the first few shots!

This one came out pretty well! I still can’t pour super consistently, but it’s exciting when it’s one of the good ones

My window this morning. No idea why the droplets formed a grid but i think it looks kinda cool?
Might use it as my phone wallpaper in time for iOS 26!

Great piece about concept art featuring @paulscottcanavan.com’s gorgeous work on A Highland Song.
I loved seeing this concept pic, which I had totally forgotten was actually a paint over 😍

Update to Substage is out - complete with my new prediction engine (which fully simulates bash commands to figure out what they'll do!)
I wrote up a quick blog post here: selkie.design/blog/substag...

Pretty excited about this: Substage will soon simulate Terminal commands and show a preview of what they’ll do, before they run!
I ended up building a full bash parser and simulator from scratch (🤯) so it can track file changes and show a kind of live diff of the outcome.
