Wait, the Vision Pro battery pack is 3166 mAh?

Why doesn't it come with a 20,000mAh pack and get 12 hours out of the box? Why is the battery pack made out of metal 😵‍💫

I wonder (though am doubtful) if there's going to be any way to view a device like a Nintendo Switch's output on the Vision Pro. Playing Tears of the Kingdom on a movie theater screen on a plane would be awesome

It's uncanny hearing the Succession theme used over B-roll footage in a Korean reality show

There's a way to show big buttons, horizontally aligned, in a Menu, right? How is it called? I can't find anything, but I'm sure I've seen that somewhere.

Is there something like compactMap for optionals?

I have an optional that I want to wrap in another object which has a failable initializer. If I do

let foo = bar.map { Foo($0) }

foo is a Foo?? instead of a Foo?.

Best I've found is

let foo = (bar != nil) ? Foo(bar!) : nil

but that seems a bit too unreadable and uses the “!” operator which I usually avoid.

@uliwitness flatMap instead of map?

NavigationStack seems to regularly miss transition animation on iOS 17. Well at least in @IceCubesApp

sebj,
@sebj@mastodon.social avatar

@dimillian I've seen what feels like an iOS bug across system apps/3rd party apps/my SwiftUI app where navigation transitions snap instantly, both programmatic or interactive swipes. Is that also the issue you're seeing?

Interesting, Introspect just removed support for Toggle on :

“visionOS 1.0 beta 4 changed the underlying Toggle implementation and is no longer backed by a UIKit view”

What would you guys think about something like this being the new icon for Cork? 😳

#macOS #opensource #buildinpublic #homebrew #CorkApp

sebj,
@sebj@mastodon.social avatar

@davidbures They all look like pretty cute illustrations, and all fit the theme, but at the same time I don't think any of them fit the general style of "macOS icons”

sebj,
@sebj@mastodon.social avatar

@davidbures @lepapierblanc already mentioned HIG principles, but otherwise two common directions: either a subtly shaded glyph on a color/gradient background, or (probably better here) for a more 3D route, the depth is generally quite shallow/limited and the 'camera' is almost facing head-on. Cardboard box label background w/ angled bottle on top would be one unimaginative thought. Or a more literal corked bottle representation? I Am Not A Designer 😅

This is some of the best streaming video compression I've ever seen. YouTube should take notes.

sebj,
@sebj@mastodon.social avatar

@michaelsteeber I wonder if the YouTube stream had this pre-event bit in the past, or whether it's been left out this year as they knew the compression would ruin it?

@davidbures Is this a Cork email address linked to your personal Apple ID for iMessage? Potentially risky for spam + sanity if so 😅

Finally beaten Final Fantasy XVI after 46 hours for the main story and side quests – the first FF game I’ve completed. Maybe I should go back and finish FF7R next 😅

sebj,

@davidbures Would recommend! Beautiful game, great score, approachable combat, epic boss fights. Bit of a slow start, and a few dull side quests, but I enjoyed it overall.

It's not on visionOS like the rest of my timeline (yet?) but my latest small side-project is so far an iOS RSS reader with some  News influences. Aiming for something to casually browse recent posts, without encouraging completionism using unread counts or badges.

An iOS screenshot of an article (headline, date, text) in light mode. The publisher’s name and icon are shown in the top navigation bar.

It’s been a while! OPML import & export are working, folder sorting is in, plus adding feeds got a little polish.

I didn’t realise how much the app needed background refresh until I implemented it – much easier than I’d expected!

Screenshot of the screen to add a custom feed from a URL. The feed name and icon are displayed at the top. Several recent articles are displayed at the bottom, gradually fading out.
Screenshot of the Feeds tab of the app in dark mode, listing the name of each folder and the name and icon for the feeds in each folder. A navigation bar menu is open, showing sorting options, as well as Share and Export as OPML buttons.

UI's taking shape on after a few adjustments.

Screenshot of the articles inside a ‘Tech’ folder. Filter categories are shown as horizontal pills along the top. Articles are shown in 2 columns, with thumbnails and headlines. Glass ornaments for news and feeds are visible on the left edge of the window.

@matthewcassinelli will do when it’s available!

Little nervous, but it’s time to TestFlight my RSS news reader for iOS & visionOS. It’s deliberately designed as a feed for stress-free, anti-completionist reading, without unread counts.

It's a little rough around the edges, and I'm not sure if anyone’s interested in this kinda of thing, but if you are, please give it a try! https://testflight.apple.com/join/bCe8UVrf

An iPadOS screenshot in light mode. The left sidebar shows a list of added feeds, while the right 2/3 of the screen shows an article from Push Square with a top bar tinted to match the publication’s brand.
A visionOS screenshot, showing a grid of the latest gaming articles in one window on the left, and an article from Eurogamer.net open on the right. A menu is expanded, with options to summarize, listen to text, change text size, share and more.
