Hah! That’s awesome.

I wrote about what iOS 26 taught me after building a series of focused micro-apps.

It’s about intent, constraints, and learning by building.

That’s an interesting connection. I wasn’t thinking about Shortcuts, but I get why it came up. The focus here was execution boundaries inside the app, especially around async work and mutation. That discipline often makes systems more composable too.

New micro-app write-up: Daily Quote Fetcher.

A small iOS app used to explore background tasks, notification timing, and what happens when you stop fighting the system and design with it instead.

Just published: Async doesn’t mean ordered in SwiftUI. A field report on a concurrency bug that forced me to rethink execution assumptions and where ordering actually comes from.

Hot-Cold Finder is live.

A short write-up on building a proximity-based app on iOS 26 using Nearby Interaction, and what it taught me about feedback, clarity, and restraint in UI.

Built a Step Counter widget to better understand WidgetKit in iOS 26.

Not a shipped app. Just real code, real constraints, and what the system teaches you when you actually build against it.

Published a write-up on Pocket Pantry, a SwiftData-first iOS 26 app built to surface architectural decisions early.

Small scope. Real constraints. No abstraction theater.

Learning iOS 26 by building small, intentional apps.

Not tutorials. Not frameworks.
Just real constraints, real decisions, and what held up.

Part 2 is live.

Continuing the branding introduction—this time focusing on structure, discipline, and sustained direction.

Published: Part 1 of my new branding introduction.

A short piece on identity, intent, and why structure matters before style.

Identity Initialized.

I’ve launched a new engineering log. Zero dependencies. No noise. Documenting the architecture of clarity and native systems.

Intent precedes action.

[ let shift : Moin ]

Identity initialized.

My new digital home is live: iamshift.dev

Built with zero dependencies. No frameworks & bloat. Just raw craft.

Reflecting how I build apps: native, structured, & precision. Features a custom scroll-snap architecture & "System Failure" 404 protocol.
