🚀 Excited to share something I’ve been working on:

NSBuddy is live! 👨🏻‍💻

It helps you stay productive by automating the boring stuff 👇

I really like Liquid Glass. It felt strange at first, but now, after weeks of using macOS 26 and since yesterday iOS 26, I love it.
Also, it feels so fast and so smooth.
Happy iOS26 launch day! 🤓
Is it just me? Or is Claude Code giving worse answers lately? 🤔
What would you recommend for analytics in a macOS app? Until now, I only had Firebase in mind. But I’ve seen that TelemetryDeck could also be a good choice. Any other options? I mainly prioritize simplicity, and I highly value user privacy
One Swift Thing #10 sent! 📬
This week, you can learn how to animate your SF Symbols to improve your UI quickly and easily.

Family matters is maybe the hardest project you can face
A 9-to-5 job as a programmer isn’t that bad. It can be fun and offer good opportunities.
Kicking off a new project. This time, I will focus on iOS, ASO, and do a single feature as well as possible.
#BuildInPublic #iOSDev
Considering new ideas for development. NSBuddy seems promising with significant potential, but positioning and clearly defining a toolbox on macOS presents challenges.
The moment you realize that publishing an app is JUST THE BEGINNING.
Now you have to sell it.
#BuildInPublic
One Swift Thing #9 is scheduled for tomorrow.

If you would like to learn about the new Foundation Model, you can't miss this one. 👇
And, Claude also displays that it is 3.5 instead of 4 🤔
Checking out the new Xcode beta with ChatGPT-5. But just like at launch, the first reply displays it is 4, not 5.
Is this a winning strategy for generating app ideas? How would you make it even better?
After that, you’d need to evaluate if the cost (effort, time) is worth the potential market — for example, with a quick SEO or ASO analysis. 🕵️‍♂️
Why “much”?
Because usually, if something only changes a little, it’s not enough reason to switch apps.
The improvement must be considerable. 📈
Maybe by adding AI to get better results, 🤖🦾
or by making them much simpler, ✂️
or by making them look way more beautiful. 🪄
Now comes the key question:

Can I make any of them better? 🤔
These are the apps you:
• Need ❤️
• Like 🙂

For one reason or another, you already know them well — and you probably know their market, or at least their users.
Open your phone and review your apps.
Or even better, on iPhone, go to Battery settings — you’ll see your apps ordered by usage time. 👀
I’ve been thinking about a way to generate new app ideas, and I’d like to share it to see how it can be improved 🧵👇
After paternity leave and vacations are coming to an end, it’s time to think about how to organize time between family, 9-to-5 work, side projects, and training…
