Just shipped a PR wiring push notifications into an existing comms system. 100% Ruby. Millions of lines. Dense business logic, complex deps, non-obvious behavior. I had no prior knowledge of the system, nor deep Ruby experience. A few months ago this would’ve taken days (or weeks) to fully grasp, design, and implement. Today, with AI? Under an hour. I focused on requirements and integration points — Codex handled the rest. If someone says AI “isn’t a thing”… take that with a huge grain of salt.

And I feel I should say thank you to @steipete for being an enormous inspiration for me to explore the depths of AI-driven development (though looking at what you do Peter I feel like I'm gazillion years behind!) If you're interested in AI stuff and you're not following him yet you definitely should!

Last version of Deckset that I shipped was packed with a massive amount of new features. A lot of this was possible thanks to how amazing AI and Codex is. I would never dream of being able to ship so fast (and this is just part of what I've been cooking over last 2 months) for a personal side project. If you're still holding out on the AI coding assistants - do give them a try, maybe they'll click with and your codebase! (They certainly did with mine!).

✨And traditionally Deckset is also 50% off for Black Friday ✨

💯plus I also recall there was a lot of improvement between first betas and what finally shipped.

This one was quite fun to build - there's a ton of small rendering improvements baked in there (and Library view should no longer stutter!)

Linked Lists aren't real.

For a couple of days Deckset will be 50% off 🎉

The mermaid.js integration was extremely fun and interesting to build 🎉 especially given it works on both iOS and macOS using the exact same code

Here's @merowing_ at #SwiftHeroes delivering an amazing talk on work life balance 🥰 using @decksetapp for stunning slides! Did you give an amazing talk using Deckset recently? Let us know and show your slides!

New Deckset version has just landed! 🚀 The new themes were really, really fun to build!

Deckset 2.0.31 for macOS and 1.0.7 for iOS is now out! This update includes a first new theme in a while for us - Space! 🧑‍🚀 We hope you'll enjoy it!

And it's finally here 🙌

It's finally here 😍Lots of love went into this one!

Deckset gets a nice hefty 50% just in time for Cyber Monday 🤖 If you haven't tried the best (IMO!) presentation software for Mac now's the perfect time to try it out!

I’m super happy to be back at Mobile Warsaw. It’s been a long covid/kids break for me (over 4 years!) but I’m finally there! Cool to see @Dziobaczy present about JournalingSuggestions framework along with Sourcery by the one and only @merowing_.

One of the saddest days in my career - @appcode has been an invaluable IDE for me that’s far better than Xcode on so many fronts… will miss it a lot 😢

POV: you hear someone mention that iOS developers used to have to manually retain and release objects

Exactly this. And you can apply this to UI too - we use snapshot testing to rapidly develop interfaces without re-running the app all the time. Works with both UIKit and SwiftUI.
