@jpsim Would it be feasible to add a SwiftLint rule that ensures classes that aren't subclasses are marked as final?

It seems trivial to check that a class is final but ensuring that it isn't subclassed seems out of scope for SwiftLint and I guess it would likely be an expensive operation on large codebases.

For the longest time I have disliked those pesky header comments in the top of Swift files. Only now (and thanks to @jpsim!) did I realize that SwiftLint has a rule that can be used to throw a warning when file headers are present.

Spotify's desktop app got a major overhaul today. The library looks very similar to the one in the iOS app but it can be both collapsed and expanded.

@leopic I think you did. I'm 100% certain that I have not had it for a few weeks and I'm 99% sure I did not have it yesterday.

New video: How to set up custom SwiftLint rules in your own projects

@jpsim Yay! Looking forward to watch this. For the longest time I’ve been meaning to add a rule that shows a warning if a file has a header comment.

@jpsim I have failed to get this working using the file_header rule a couple of times. On one hand I would have expected required_pattern: ^$ to work but on the other hand, it also feels a bit weird.

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@jpsim It just occurred to me that I should use forbidden_pattern over required_pattern. This seems to work. Can't believe I haven't thought of this before.

@simonbs thanks, I was worried you've forgotten us

@monv You'll be surprised to learn that all the efforts I'm putting into Runestone these days are to benefit Scriptable in the long run 😊

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@monv I'm not maintaining the Mac version right now. It's a beta that got halted because I don't think it's worth iterating on it. I want to deliver an exceptional experience on the Mac and I don't think I can do that in it's current form. That's planned for a major update though.

Teddy Bear and Psyduck will have to listen to me practice my talk for @DeepDishSwift intensively over the next couple of days. I hope my audience at the conference will be a bit more… Alive 😄

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@agiletortoise Sure, yeah, of course there is.

Rewrites entire talk 😥

@maxxfrazer This is more of a “getting started with DocC" talk so you may be well ahead. There are a few things people who have been playing with DocC might take away though 😊

@agiletortoise I've added a couple of slides specifically for you. Hope you'll notice 😄👀

New post on the blog! 📝👀

In early 2022 I started introducing the Composition Root pattern in my Swift codebases and I have found it to be very useful. In this post I explore why I started using the pattern and how 😃 https://simonbs.dev/posts/introducing-the-composition-root-pattern-in-a-swift-codebase/

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

I'm hoping to one day give a (lightning?) talk on this topic and have submitted it as a proposal to a few conferences in the autumn but if you're a conference organizer and think this sounds interesting, you know where to find me 😃

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@BrendanThompson Thanks! I'm happy to hear that you found it interesting 🙏

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@matadan Thanks! I'm happy to hear you liked it! 🙏 The posts I link to describe some concepts way better than I can do, fortunately, because then I can focus on writing about my love for the Composition Root 😄

@vincefried Thanks for the kind words! 🙏 I would love to see how your approach differs 👀

The Bluesky app’s way of aggregating notifications and making them expandable is clever. It’s similar to what the Twitter app did but as far as I remember, it did not support the expand/collapse interaction.

@andyn I did not know this! Thanks!

Give me a holla (and a follow) if you're on Bluesky 👋

I'm not sure what I'll use Bluesky for and if I'll use it at all but it had me curious 🤷‍♂️

Found a pretty good way to quote posts with Ivory, Re: Toot, and Shortcuts 😃 https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c24cfa5cb6e84aa9a4c93270cb648d18

Screen recording of user sharing an app in Ivory and selecting the “Quote Mastodon Post” shortcut. This triggers the following flow: 1. A notification is shown saying that an image was copied to the clipboard. 2. The user pastes this image in a new post in Ivory. 3. A notification is shown saying that the alt text was copied to the clipboard. 4. The user pastes the alt text as description of the image posted earlier. 5. A notification is shown saying that the attribution was copied to the clipboard. 6. The user pastes the attribution into the post. 7. The user finishes the post and posts it.

@atomicpoet Doesn’t help me when I use Ivory.

@atomicpoet Yeah, I get that. Sorry for my snarky reply.

The aesthetics of Teeneage Engineerings’s products is unlike anything else 😍

For a long time I have wanted to play around with one of their music devices but I have been hesitant to get one because I know nothing about making music. This year my girlfriend got me the PO-32 Tonic for my birthday and I immediately fell in love with it.
