Wow, just read this reply suggesting https://tonaltherapy.app to a person considering self-harm.

“It literally saved me”

Hard to put into words how happy it makes me that a little thing I created has such an impact.

SwiftUI question: I have a fairly simple screen. I have a Text view that I want to always be vertically centered on the screen.

I then want to have other Views above and below that Text view.

Is there an easy way to do that? I don't want to vertically center the entire VStack, just the middle Text view. Or do I need to do some funky stuff with ZStack?

Anyone has recommendations for a nice soldering kit?

So dumb. How could Martin erode their brand with this?

I would be amazing if I could “Mac Mirror” from an iPad Pro just like I can from Vision Pro, but it would run from my MacBook sitting closed in my backpack

It would be the perfect portable computer on planes, coffee shops, etc where I’m more than happy to give up the big screen

@mergesort Congrats on the launch! Trying it out for the first time on macOS. This part was a little confusing, and may need some specific wording:

when I "Set up Plinky Save" am I supposed to be able to choose Plinky here? Or is this just on iOS?

Went to the mall yesterday and stopped in a store to buy some dress socks.

Clerk: “I can check you out here. What's your full name & email?”

Me: ”.............. I'm buying SOCKS.”

This is giving Mitch Hedberg's “receipt for a donut" energy.

Try to convince your company to pay for it if you can. It will pay for itself in time saved.

Who needs coffee when you have a pregnant spider that squirts out 200 baby spiders in your living room? 😱😨😳

I wonder when I can overcome myself and delete TextMate.

Breaking news: Now that I'm running Sonoma I can verify that Apple fixed the issue with Vim support in Xcode I filed feedback for.

You can now use the 'w' command to move past emojis. The cursor will no longer get stuck.

You're welcome.

And just like that, https://www.nsdateformatter.com is now running on AWS Lambda!

This was a fun distraction & taught me about Lambda. I was pleasantly surprised that I could deploy a Vapor application with its own routing and such behind “serverless functions"

I also rewrote (because of course I did) the front-end, as Leaf templates were -let's be honest- not a great experience.

The front-end is now Svelte, and uses Vite as a development server. I'm pretty happy with this combo.

People in the iOS community that are still on Twitter post-Elon, as if they didn't fuck over 3rd party developers, treat their engineers like shit, and amplify some truly awful shit...

I get that you might have a sizable audience*, but what would it take for you to say “nah” and start posting elsewhere? Where is your line?

(* Also your audience can follow you, and probably will)

I need some iOS design critique. I’m trying to implement a cool custom group box in SwiftUI with a dynamic outline/background (the colorful outlined boxes in the middle of the pictures).

Honestly, they all look kinda cheap and weird. Do you have any tips to make them look better?
