I'm delighted to announce that my new app, Arkyve, is now live in the Mac App Store! It's the archive management app I always wanted to exist, and now I've made it exist apps.apple.com/gb/app/arkyv...

Super happy to see this kind of content from the community!
Swift has a lot going for it. Progressive disclosure means some capabilities aren't visible until you need them. And more to come!
I really mean it when I say Swift has the potential being best-in-class from systems via server to app dev.

Today I learned that Swift has more Rust-inspired features than I thought.
… huh.

Since I'm finally migrating from Intel to Apple Silicon, I figured I would make the choice to refuse to install Rosetta and it's had some really nice benefits - not least of which being no longer being able to install Fujitsu's terrible ScanSnap software and instead using VueScan which rocks.

Im doing #AdventOfCode for the first time and in looking at Day 3 Part 1 it screamed for a RegEx, and I was delighted to discover #Swift has a whole Builder situation going on. It’s more verbose, but a lot easier to understand, and has inline transforms 😁

Good morning Blueskiers, Blueskylings, Blueskyans? We’re a British band that make propulsive electronic / orchestral / rock / breaks / ambient murmurings and enjoy nerding out over music production, films and music. With some animal photos and awful dad jokes thrown in.

And now the critical question is, do I sell the Pro, or keep it as a beautiful object (and use it as a stand for the Mini 😁)?!
Going from one of the biggest Macs ever, to the smallest Mac ever, is a weird experience. M4 Pro is super impressive.

In Swift, we can enhance pattern matching with extra conditions, refining switch statements, for-in loops, while loops, and if-case statements using the where clause or a comma. Take a look at my blog post to learn how: nilcoalescing.com/blog/SwiftEn...

I crumble a little inside when I see people mention cross-posting services that copy posts to Bluesky and Mastodon with a monthly subscription that is more than the cost of Micro.blog. But that’s all they do! Or you could use Micro.blog and get the same thing and a full-featured hosted blog. 🤪

Caught between wanting a Season 2 of Kaos, and appreciating Netflix's ruthless (and likely unintentional) adherence to "Always leave them wanting more".

Speaking of GitHub Actions, they're also a really great way to build container images. I wanted a container of Samba, but there's no official one, and options on Docker Hub are..... variably stale...
I really don't love how slow it can be to iterate on complex GitHub Actions workflows, but it's hard to argue with the power and flexibility it gives you for free. Every commit to #Hammerspoon I get this much build/testing/coverage detail: github.com/Hammerspoon/...
