I just remembered I have to localise all the App Store screenshots 😵

Vision Pro's international launch will be even tougher now that we know the device is two whole chip generations behind the iPad, and we've seen Apple's lackluster content/release cadence for it.

It desperately needs a whole lot more developer support and that doesn't come for free. Once that interest dies out…

Incidentally, forScore is the closest thing I've seen to a killer app

Remember when Sam Altman was ousted from OpenAI and then claims that his sister had accused him of abusing her as a child resurfaced and the whole internet collectively shrugged and went back to cheering for him to take over what might be one of the most consequential businesses of the 21st century?

Because I think about it a lot.

SwiftUI noob question: I understand why my ViewModel is being initialized twice, but why is it not being deinitialized?

It's created, then a second later when appState.show is changed, the view is recomputed, and view, and its ViewModel, are created anew. Cool! But why is the old one not deinitialized? What's holding onto it?

The Cybertruck is stupid and no one should buy one.. but someone should paint theirs with dazzle camouflage

If you haven’t already seen a dozen people raving about it, allow me to be the one to tell you to go play Animal Well.

It’s an exquisitely crafted puzzle-exploration game, that shares a lot of DNA with Hollow Knight. There’s some tight platforming, but very little combat.

I gather it was made my a single guy over the course of 7 years, and the passion is on full display as you slowly learn just how many layers there to every aspect of the game

☃️ The Apple Watch should be a little more helpful.

In dealing with localisation, I’m realising how nice it would be if Apple introduced a crowdsourcing system for users to contribute translations and have it directly integrated into Xcode

I hate to shill Plinky again before adding more features but from what I gather ProductHunt is still a pretty valuable resource these days, and thanks to @chrismessina Plinky is on ProductHunt today. If you'd like to ask a question or upvote the app, I'd be happy to see you over there today. 🙂 https://www.producthunt.com/posts/plinky

I’ve always been curious why the big iPad Pro kept the 4:3 aspect ratio while all the others shifted to 10:7

Did Apple ever explain this @viticci @jsnell @gruber?

wait wait wait

Did nobody make a "there’s no such thing as bad press" joke for Apple hydraulic press iPad ad?

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
