@NeroWolfe I figured that might be the case, but it never pays to make assumptions 😀

@NeroWolfe Hey 🙂 Maybe you get this all the time, but did you know that there's a fictional detective named after you? (Or maybe that’s not your name and you picked your name on here because of the detective, I don’t know …)

@troz Hey 🙂 I used to write for Kodeco, or rather, RayWenderlich.com, I don’t think I’ve written anything since they became Kodeco …

I was probably the first tech editor at rw.com but that was a very, very long time ago 😀

Now this is something that has been bugging me so long … And while I did download Xcode 15 beta 3, I still haven’t gotten around to using it and had no idea that the 10-view limit was gone. Rejoice!

@PeteZ Oh, didn’t know that #Swift is used for the bird too 🙂 I use the hashtag a lot but hadn’t actually tried following that hashtag or #SwiftUI. Probably should … talk about missing the obvious 😛

@maddiefuzz I get you totally … well, maybe except for the release part 😛

I generally do stuff because I or the wife want it, but I can’t be bothered to go the final 5% and package it up for distribution. So it ends up being used by the two of us and sometimes we forget about the app after a while and then a year or two later, it gets resurrected again because we had the need for it again …

That’s happened many times. My hard drive is a literal graveyard of unreleased apps 😀

@maddiefuzz That’s a rather long story if we start way back at the beginning — which was over 30 years ago 😛

But I stared iOS dev around 14 years ago I think? That’s still too far away, isn’t it? 😀

These days I do mobile for work (both iOS and Android) but most of my personal apps tend to be either macOS only (if it’s just for me) or macOS/iOS hybrids (if they are for both the wife and I) …

Specifically, in the area of menubar apps, the most recent ones are:
* An app to check RSS feeds and site updates (via scraping) to update me on changes to specific newsfeeds.

* An app to auto-post to Twitter with a dynamically generated tweet at a scheduled time.

* A todo/task management app.

Just simple, small apps which scratch a specific itch. Nothing revolutionary or ground-breaking, but I just code up things because I can’t find something around which meets my specific use-case …

@maddiefuzz Sounds cool, and congratulations on the approval 🙂

I might love menubar apps a bit too much since I keep making them since they are so handy. So can appreciate another menu bar app 😛

@mipstian Do let me know if you add a separate dev account — I’d like to follow that. Unless of course, you post on this account since then I’d know anyway 😛

@pixelscience Not even sure what “Vercel” is 🙂 Will have to look it up … so many things to look into after this round of follows …

But good luck with the RealityKit workaround!

The search for SwiftUI developers has got me going down so many interesting rabbit holes 🙂

One person’s profile that I browsed had this article about how somebody has decompiled all the old Sierra games (at least, I think that was what the post said, it’s been a while and I’ve been going through a lot of profiles). I bookmarked the article to read but no time yet ..

Somebody else mentioned a recipes app they had settled on:

https://mela.recipes/

Recipes apps hold a special place in my heart since I’ve done a few in my time since the wife wanted one which worked just right 😛 This bookmark was mostly for her but I’m curious as to what this app gets right as opposed to the ones we’ve tried …

#NewStuff #RabbitHoles

@maddiefuzz Nice to meet you 🙂 What’s your app about — I mean if you don’t mind talking about it?

@macshome You should 🙂 I find that writing and coding complement each other in a strange way — writing down my thoughts about a problem helps me clarify things and also, sometimes it gives me ideas about new things to try or code …

@mipstian Personally, I think you should just post dev stuff in the same account, but that’s just me 🙂

I post about so many different things that I originally considered having different accounts but it just seemed like too much work — you have to switch between accounts, try to maintain things on each one etc. I’m just too lazy 😛

So I figured might as well just lump everything in one account and be done with it ….

OK, finally got the donut order in .. whew!

It seems to me that the Talabat app opens order every half hour when they run out of delivery capacity or have too many orders? I had been trying every few minutes since like 6:35 but it wouldn’t go through but once I got to 7:00am it went through fine …

Once might have been accidental, but this is the second time that this has happened.

On the other hand, according to Ian Fleming, “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and three times it’s enemy action.” 😛

#Donuts

Thanks, @cocoaphony 🙂 I suddenly have so many profiles to go through that it’s not even funny. But more the merrier! Will go through your followers once I sort out breakfast ….

@pixelscience That sounds rather painful … and possibly expensive? 😛 But I sympathise … Unfortunately, haven’t done a lot of RealityKit and so can’t help except sympathise …

But if you were to post about what you are stuck on maybe that helps? Even if somebody else doesn’t have an answer, I sometimes find just the fact of writing it down helps me clarify my own thoughts and arrive at a way forward …

The wife wanted donuts for breakfast and I was supposed to order them since I get up early. I forgot all about it since I was busy going through the profiles of Swift devs and following them on here …

Now the delivery app says that there are too many deliveries in my area and I should try in half an hour 😛 The perils of distraction ...
