We have ~200 members globally, weekly coffee meetups, coworking sessions, and Indie Developer Goals on Fridays.

Anyone else see the window for the Music app on #macOS26Tahoe not remembering its position or size after quitting and restarting the app? It's a ridiculous bug and is a really awful #UX.

100% reproducible for me on macOS 26.1. Anyone know if macOS 26.2 fixes it?

So #macOS26 ruined the interface for Apple Music.

The player at the bottom is… awful.

You know it's bad when you consider writing a Music player app to replace/use instead of the one that comes with your OS.

Anyone experiencing really slow #TestFlight processing or builds just not showing up?

It would be really helpful it if #Xcode could help you write and evaluate JavaScript in a multiline string in Swift (for use with a #WKWebView), maybe even with syntax highlighting.

I'm surprised this wasn't a thing a long time ago.

Whoa. This is interesting. I'm not on the Tahoe Beta so I wouldn't have seen it, but I wonder what else will be reverted/fixed in #macOS26 #iOS26 #iPad26 #visionOS26 during this beta period.
