Our apps have used CloudKit as backend since forever, but we've decided it's time to move on. We already migrated Lysten, our podcast player, and next up is Ambre.
Check out our blog post for details on why CloudKit rocks, and why we're leaving it. 👇

This is probably the most expensive alarm clock in the world, but I’m digging it 🤣 github.com/steipete/warelay/…

Claude Code agent generator generated quite the aggressive prompt for a developer 😅
"You write code as if the next developer to touch it is a violent psychopath who knows where you live."

wrote a new post, the gentle singularity.
realized it may be the last one like this i write with no AI help at all.
(proud to have written "From a relativistic perspective, the singularity happens bit by bit, and the merge happens slowly" the old-fashioned way)

“Sensor-shift OIS” in your iPhone moves around the entire sensor to counteract image shake for sharper shots.
Seeing it in action is wild:

#SwiftUI #dynamicisland folks, any idea how to fix incorrect sizing for Text(:style:)? 🥺
the first digits are discarded and it takes up way to much space

a few test photos with the iPhone 14 Pro 48MP camera, the last two are seriously difficult for cameras to produce without blowing the highlights and shadows, I’m impressed!
no sharpness has been added by me.

I’ve updated my guide on Dynamic Island to include tips that get around issues with sizing on the leading and trailing elements ( Thanks @jordibruin! ) 🎉
The code sample includes an interactive widget too if you’re curious how to do that 🏝

I remember @JagCesar telling me to listen to Serial podcast and since the first episode I was hooked! I was always under the impression that Adnan was not guilty so I’m extremely happy he was released! @serial
Omg just heard Adnan Syed got released? @serial I hope you release an episode on how this was possible and why it took so long.
If you’re reading this and wondering who the hell Adnan Syed is, listen to Serial S01.
