These huge apps drive me crazy. Most often you’ll find that it’s just duplicated and uncompressed assets that bring up the app binary size without any thoughts or benefits.

I've created a tiny Swift package that makes it a easier to add persisted properties to an @Observable class. It's a very quick thing, so feel free to have a look and shoot it down if you know a cleaner way to fill the void that the lack of @AppStorage support causes.

Is there a convenient way to handle app storage-backed properties with @Observable? With ObservableObject you can apply @AppStorage to the property, but this doesn't work with @Observable's macro-based properties.

A few years ago, my Gmail spam folder was filled with nasty, pervo crap. Today, at 46, I've started receiving spam emails with subjects like "A bit too calm, but honest" and texts like "A place where you can converse without any stress. A place for conversations that actually mean something." 🤨

I'm getting frequent questions regarding what the "A" in the KeyboardKit icon stands for. For me, it was just a way to render a plain iOS keyboard key, but this is lost with the more stylized design. I really don't like adding KK to the key, but am at a loss how to improve the current icon.

I've been having fun with simplifying the KeyboardKit app icon for Liquid Glass and the next major app version. I don't want to change too much, while still embracing the new design, and I think this is a step in the right direction.

After some trial and error getting GitHub Actions to work, I can now confirm that the workflow in this post, in combination with adding dependencies to a binary Swift package, works great! KeyboardKit no longer has a copy of LicenseKit, but adds it as a dependency.

Ok, let's give this another go. In this stream, I'll ensure that the XCFramework generating GitHub Action workflow works as expected, then update the open-source project and its docs to cover the changes. It will around an hour, after which I'll move on to Liquid Glass stuff.

The fact that Sinners - a trope-ridden, unstructured cliche of a movie that barely reaches the 2/5 mark - got 10/10 in many places during its cinema run, tells me all I need to know about the broken state of sponsored reviews.

I meant to do a live stream, so I started OBS and started coding and doing a bunch of cool stuff with GitHub Actions, local scripts, etc. Two hours later, as I was about to stop the stream for lunch, I noticed that I never started the stream. Better luck next time? 🫣

I have tried to generate an XCFramework from a Swift package without using an Xcode project in so many ways...but it just doesn't work. It's so strange, given that the project generation command was removed from the CLI. Has anyone made it work?
