Thanks! I was tinkering with the highlighting but want to create my own theme for it instead of using the built in ones with MarkdownUI/Splash.

For now I just wanted to get the basics working. I think the main problem I have with highlighting right now though, is that since Languages are user-created (an early intentional decision) it might be a little difficult to get that implemented properly. I haven’t looked too far into it though yet.

Have you ever made changes to your app and then it randomly started crashing and have no idea why? Then you realize hours later that it was because you accidentally left the . out when typing the name of a view modifier?

Thanks to @twostraws for this tip on how to catch that on your own custom view modifiers:

pfffffft. APPLE WHERES CAN BUYZ EXTERNAL GPU FOR M3 APPLE SILICON???

lol. Funny though how after 3ish years, simulator still shows this option on Apple Silicon Macs which don’t support external GPUs and only have an Integrated GPU.

Spectra for Prime Video is now OPEN SOURCE. I look forward to seeing this project grow to a degree that I could not make happen on my own!

🚀 Boosts Appreciated! 😃

For those who are unaware: Spectra is an app for Apple Vision Pro that allows you to watch Amazon Prime Video content. While the iPadOS app is available on , many have said it is hard to use. Spectra aims to solve that by wrapping the website in a native app using and .

As this is the first real project I’ve made, I’ve done some research and think I have setup this repository correctly. But I am open to suggestions on what things I need to look out for and what I should consider enabling or disabling to prevent unwanted things from happening.

In all seriousness, is there any way to give Swift more time to give me an accurate error here? is a pain to work with sometimes and this isn't even too big of a view.

@andy I just comment out sections of code until I find what’s causing all the fuss. 🤷🏻‍♂️

JTostitos, (edited ) to opensource
@JTostitos@techhub.social avatar

Thinking about making this open source and publishing it for free on the App Store, (probably with a tip jar). I just don’t know enough about JavaScript to do this properly all on my own and I’m sure there are others who would have a good idea on how to structure the project better than I do.

Thoughts?

Boosts appreciated 🚀

Jet Black iPhone 7 looked so good, that Apple has kept it as the header for their refurbished store since at least 2018, maybe even earlier when the iPhone 7 came out in 2016 😂.

@dimillian Do you think it would be possible to make links in posts appear around the same size as images? When the app is maximized, you can’t fit as much content on screen and it just looks a little odd lol

I feel like I'm going crazy here.

I have a SwiftUI macOS app, that's using a customizable toolbar. I set the .defaultCustomization() to .hidden to initially hide it from the user, as per the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/customizabletoolbarcontent/defaultcustomization(_:options:).

YET IT STILL SHOWS UP BY DEFAULT AND EVEN IS IN THE DEFAULT TOOLBAR!

Does anyone know what's happening here?

JTostitos,
@JTostitos@techhub.social avatar

@davidbures does your toolbar have an id? Or just the ToolbarItem?

I've been out of the "Windows" game for quite a few years now. It used to be that Windows Defender was not nearly good enough for basic protection, and additional antivirus solutions were strongly recommended.

I just had to get my wife a Windows laptop for her work, due to the app she needs not being compatible on Apple Silicon (ugh).

What’s the current status of default AV stuff in Windows 11? Any recommendations to help keep her system protected, that’s also free or super low cost? Or is Windows safer OOTB than it used to be?

Hey thanks! ✌️

JTostitos,
@JTostitos@techhub.social avatar

@thatvirtualboy Windows Defender is great now. I’ve had no issues with it and it’s built by MS so it just works.

For those of you that use a 1080p display on macOS, I just found a way to fix all the weird blurriness and/or stretching that gets applied to icons (And makes text clearer as well). Use the Better Display app and enable High Resolution on the 1080p display. And Voila: See images of the difference!

I'm trying to join the Indie App Sale, but I'm not seeing an obvious way to download the visionOS icon for my game.

JTostitos,
@JTostitos@techhub.social avatar

@kern wouldn’t you have the local source files for the icon? Why not just use that?

JTostitos,
@JTostitos@techhub.social avatar

@kern right. So at least for any app icons I’ve made I have a project file (affinity photo, psd, figma, sketch, etc) and exported the three layers as one file. I’m guessing you don’t have that? If not, you could find the assets in your project and perhaps layer them in preview.app or something else.

Side Note: Arc somehow got their alternate icons to stick on macOS even after the app is closed! I didn’t think that was possible. (It also shows this icon in Launchpad)

Anyone familiar with this know how they might have done that?

Was running my 1TB MBP with less than 10GB left of disk space. Found that many application files were getting removed locally in order to conserve space, which led to apps taking forever to open, while macOS had to re-download files.

Combining manual cleanup + Magic Disk Cleaner, I’ve been able to reclaim nearly 300GB of disk space!

@thatvirtualboy Looks like a neat app. I purchased Daisy Disk a while ago and use that to scan all my drives and then drill down into each folder to see what’s taking up the most space.

JTostitos,
@JTostitos@techhub.social avatar

@thatvirtualboy yep! I actually had to use that not too long ago 😄

Would you use RevenueCat or pure StoreKit for a Apple platforms only app?

@MartinP7r definitely revenuecat.
