@at I don’t strictly run a Mastodon instance but Akkoma — it had the features that I wanted and was purported to be much less resource intensive than Mastodon.

Generally, it’s been very easy to run/update, but what I wish I’d known before I started is how very loosely some of the other Fedi servers support the Mastodon API. Not all clients will work with non-Mastodon instances and even if you write your own client, you end up having to do some controtions for everything to work correctly 🙂

On the other hand, if you are fine using the web interface provided by the server, then you should be fine … unless of course, you’re using GoToSocial 😛

@pixelscience I find “A Companion for SwiftUI” (or, “SwiftUI Companion”) to be an invaluable resource when I’m coding anything SwiftUI. I generally have it open since it lets me find the right methods (and examples) pretty quickly. Much better than the Apple documentation, IMO.

If you need to be delighted by something this morning, I present the tree goats of Morocco.

I was driving near Essaouira the first time I saw this and literally slammed on my brakes because I thought I was suddenly hallucinating. But then you learn how common it is and after a day or two it's, oh, yeah, more goats in trees.

Anybody know a fix for sheets on Catalyst not taking up the entire height of the app window (or even more of the height than it currently does)?

`presentationDetents` would seem to have been the solution if they worked with Catalyst but they don’t.

I’ve checked a bunch of Googled articles and gone through the docs but don’t see a way to change the sheet size in Catalyst. So wondering if somebody else has already figured it out?

@Rosa Sure! Lemme know what it is you need help with and if I can, I’d be happy to help.

@brandonhorst I made something like that for my wife — basically to log how you feel as well as other factors like food, medicine, events, and other factors which might affect your health so that we can find correlations between things over time.

But I never released it since it felt a bit too complicated and didn’t think there was a market for it 🙂

@brandonhorst I found all the Mastodon clients that I tried lacked one feature or another that I wanted. Plus, I’m on Akkoma and a lot of the clients out there don’t support it, or maybe even worse, support it badly 😛

I’ve taken the source for three different existing clients and modified it to do what I wanted. Each of the last couple of iterations, I moved on to something else since the underlying code made it necessary for me to re-write a lot of stuff to implement what I really wanted ….

Hoping that the latest iteration works since it’s the closest to “least uncomplicated” I can find in terms of code and it also is SwiftUI — the other two weren’t …

I did like Mona in terms of how they did a few things. Actually trying to re-implement a couple of them in my client now 🙂

@marquiskurt It’s based on the IceCubes source but heavily modified — hence the name 🙂

My custom Fedi client is coming along pretty nicely if I do say so myself ...

Works on macOS/iOS, supports Akkoma (and possibly Pleroma) fully, has custom colours for lists/hashtags, allows custom filtering and so on.

I’ve been working on it on and off for a while now but wasn’t really sure whether I wanted to continue using it or not. But the latest round of changes, and the ones I have in mind, kind of make me think that I’ll probably stick with it at least for a few more months 😛

@gposcidonio Might be Kolibri? I don’t think it’s an iOS app though but I came across the developer’s profile today and so thought maybe that might be it?

Probably not though 🙂

@BenjaminHan Haven’t read the article but the film wasn’t that great — personal opinion, of course 🙂 It was very much forgettable and didn’t have a very exciting plot … Don’t even remember what they did right about the tech but guess I’ll have to read the article to find out 😛

@jsq Yes. I have a couple of different timer apps which work that way — even recurring timers since you can schedule the local notification to recur too. If the user edits the timer, then simply cancel the pending local notifications and then reschedule new local notifications …

@kylebshr

@marcel Looks great, congratulations! 🙂

One thing I miss in most habit trackers is the ability to track things which occur more than once a day — like walking every hour, or remembering to drink water. But that’s probably a very niche requirement ….

@icanzilb My favourite is coding to output the Fibonacci sequence 😛 The last time it came up, I refused to do it — well, not in a nasty way but I did tell them that I had never needed to do that ever for work and while I knew of two different ways to do it (vaguely) that I wasn’t going to do it since it made no sense …

They still wanted to hire me 😀

@stevengharris The implementation I created works fine for closing using the close button. Originally, if I quit the app then the frame would be saved but not if I used the close button and then re-launched the (unterminated) app from the dock icon.

In implementing a solution, what I noticed (at least the way I did it) was that if I kept a reference to the AppKit bridging plugin, the state would be saved correctly. But if I didn’t, then the state would not be saved on using the Close button. However, this could just be the way I implemented things …

Would be happy to share the code if it would help …
@stroughtonsmith

@mikaelacaron But are the other posts with GIFs posted from @IceCubesApp? It might be that they were posted from a different app maybe? 🙂

@rascalking Interesting, I think one of the things I missed was lists. So will definitely want to give it a look once that comes out. Thanks 🙂

@stevengharris There’s a solution provided by @stroughtonsmith in this same thread that worked for me. Just letting you know.

If you’d prefer to see the code in action, I can always send you the final code that worked for me. Let me know.

@stroughtonsmith I tested out your code and it works beautifully — thank you 🙂

I could have sworn I tried something similar before and it didn’t work but, I’m too lazy to go hunting for the code that didn’t work to see what the difference is …

On the plus side, your solution is way less code than my original code too. So a win overall. Thanks again!
